Donald Joseph Otto
June 1, 1943 — September 13, 2024
Donald Joseph Otto, known affectionately to friends and family as Don, passed away peacefully of natural causes at Burlington Hospital on September 13, 2024. Born on June 1, 1943, in Milwaukee, WI, Don was a man whose laughter and generosity filled every room.
After graduating from Pulaski High School, Don honorably served in the Air Force before establishing himself as a skilled remodeling contractor and woodworker. His artistry in wood was matched only by his love for nature, especially bird watching and animals.
Don's loving spirit is carried on by his beloved wife, Delores "Dee"; daughters Dione (David) Cleary and Denise (Shawn) Lane; granddaughter Kaitlyn; grandson Chase; sister Lois Roehrich; and a host of dear nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his son, Daniel Otto.
Remembered as the funny and loving pillar of his family, Don's generous soul will resonate through the lives he touched forever.
