Donald Favro
January 19, 1931 — December 27, 2012
Donald N. Favro, 81, of Plattsburgh, passed away Thursday morning, December 27, 2012, at CVPH with his loving family by his side. Donald was born in Plattsburgh on January 19, 1931, son of the late Noel and Evelyn (LaPointe) Favro.
He graduated from Mount Assumption Institute in 1949 and retired from AT&T as a business technician. Donald was a member of the American Legion, Knights of Columbus, NY Telephone Company Pioneers, North Country Corvette Club, Champlain Valley Classic Cruisers Club, and an avid volunteer with the Knights of Columbus and American Legion bingo workers. He was a parishioner of St. Peter’s Church. He enjoyed collecting antique telephones and insulators, NASCAR memorabilia, playing golf, entering antique car shows, and holding family get-togethers at his pool. Don loved his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and always looked forward to spending time with them. First thing in the morning was Coffee, with the “Coffee Group” which became a daily routine.
On January 20, 1951, he married Esther Rabideau at St. Peter’s Church and had four wonderful children: Gary (Debra) Favro, Bonnie (Anthony) Biondolilo, Linda (James ) Keable, and David ( Lori ) Favro. He was blessed with ten grandchildren, Matthew (Sarah ) Favro, Mark (Kristen ) Favro, Anthony (Josephine ) Biondolilo, Nicole (Ciro) Donniacuo, Jason (Amber) Keable, Joshua (Hannah) Keable, Adam Favro, Amanda (Thomas) Rogers, Andrew Favro, and eight great-grandchildren, Zachary and Morgan Keable, Megan Trombley, Ralphie, Isabella and Antonio Donniacuo, Chase and Sophie Keable, and Colin Favro.
He was predeceased by his parents, Noel and Evelyn Favro, his sister, Elizabeth Wilson, and great-grandson, Alexander N. Favro.
Calling hours will be Friday, January 4, 2012, from 4:00 to 8:00 PM at Heald Funeral Home, 48 Court Street, Plattsburgh. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Saturday, January 5, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Peter’s Church. Interment will be in the spring at St. Peter’s Cemetery.
