Donald T. Aselin

He was predeceased by his parents, Donald T. Aselin Sr. and Shirley J. (Oriel) Aselin. Also, by his beloved wife of fifty-three years Diane M. (Camarella) Aselin.

He leaves behind his two sons, Daniel Arthur and David Louis (Mary). Additionally, he leaves behind two sisters, Lorie Aselin and Carol Aselin. He is also survived by grandchildren Trinity, Trasce, and Kohen Aselin, Julia Bowers, and Nathan Bowers along with many nieces, nephews, cousin, and friends.

Don graduated from Christ the King Grammar School and McQuaid High School. While aiming to become an accountant, Don took a part time job at Transcontinent Record Sales of New York while attending college. Through the years he became Regional Operations Manager of the Rochester Division of Transcontinent Record Sales.

After reaching the pinnacle of the record industry, he established Action Softball Leagues of Monroe County operating softball leagues through Monroe County parks inclusive of his favorite Cobbs Hill. Eventually he built Amateur Sports Park in Chili. Don owned and operated “The Park” for 32 years forging relationships and memories that have long outlasted the park itself. He was also an avid Bills and Yankees fan.

While enough to keep most busy, Don still managed to find spare time. Thus, in 1981 he joined Sportsplex Operators and Developers Association (SODA), as National Executive Director which he remained until his death.

In lieu of flowers the family asks, with humble gratitude, for donations to the Hildebrandt Hospice Care Center. The level of care and love Don received from Hildebrandt in his final days was unparalleled and afforded him the grace, dignity, and peace to transition in a way befitting his wishes. The family will forever be grateful. Donations can be mailed to: Rochester Regional Health Foundation, Attn: Hildebrandt Hospice Care Center, 330 Monroe Ave. Suite 400, Rochester, NY 14607.

Relatives and friends are invited to celebrate Don's life on Thursday, April 18, 2024, from 5-8PM at the Alvah Halloran & Son Funeral Home, 2125 Chili Ave. Rochester, NY 14624.
