Donald Dressel Sr.
COMER - Donald A. Dres
sel, Sr. passed away on Thursday
September 1, 2016, at the age
of 83.
Don battled cancer with his
family and friends at his side.
Throughout, he showed an
amazing balance of grace and
grit, living life to the fullest for
several years longer than expect
ed before God called him home.
Don spent his childhood in
Connecticut working with his
father’s plumbing and heating
business. He graduated from
Manlius and
then joined the
Navy to serve
on submarines.
After leaving the service, he
lived in Iowa for a while before
moving back home to Connecti
cut. There he met and married
his first love, Leona Shiembob.
Don and Lee had two children,
Don Jr. and Kate, and they
enjoyed 27 wonderful years of
marriage before Lee succumbed
to cancer.
Don was blessed to find
another amazing woman to love,
Ruth Hovey, who brought joy
back to his life. They were mar
ried for 24 happy years. Don
was at home with Ruth at his
side when he passed.
Don loved to tease and get
a rise out of folks. Despite
a gruff exterior, he was prone
to unexpected kindnesses and
was always ready to pick up
his tools and go fix what was
broken for friends and family.
He was an avid horseman, and
had a deep and abiding love for
books, animals, and the land that
he passed along to his children.
Don enjoyed going to auctions to
look for antique clocks to restore
and repair, and also repaired
clocks for others.
After retiring from a long
time supervisory position with
MaCom in Massachusetts, Don
spent time with Ruth and their
kids and grandkids, moved to
Maine and then on to Florida.
Ten years ago, they moved to
Comer and settled in for good.
Don spent those years watch
ing over his daughter and son-
in-law’s horse farm, where he
spent as much time as he could
with the horses, especially his
favorite broodmare, Greetings,
and the foals.
Don is survived by his wife,
Ruth; his sister, Faye; his chil
dren and step-children, Don,
Kate, Mike, Lynne, Heather, and
Andy; his five grandchildren;
and the horses at BlackWatch
Stables who, for a long time to
come, will be listening for his
call and missing the scratches
and carrots he always had for
them.
Don felt that life was for the
living and didn’t want anyone to
go to the fuss of a formal service.
Instead, his family will honor
his wish to return his ashes to
the earth privately in the "mama
pasture" so he can continue to
watch over the mares and foals
he loved so much.
