Donald P. Comeau

Don was the son of the late Wallace Comeau, Sr. and Dorothy (Japp) Young.

He attended the Lynn Schools and graduated from Lynn Trade School (“Lynn Tech”) in 1963, where he played varsity basketball and varsity football.

After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Germany for 2 years. When he returned home, he continued his education and graduated from Salem State College. He briefly worked as a social worker in the Lynn Schools and then went on to work as a machinist foreman at the G.E. until his retirement.

In his retirement, Don met Dianne Geaney, who became his life partner of 19 years. They moved to Nahant, where they enjoyed walking the beaches, golfing and traveling together.

Don was a proud member of the Lynn Shoe City Golf League at Gannon Golf Course, where he reconnected with old friends. He also gave his time as a Board Member at The Lynn Home for Elderly Persons on Atlantic Terrace.

He also leaves behind Dianne’s children, Rick and Chris Geaney and their daughters, Emily and fiancée Anthony and Megan and fiancée Cam and Beth and Lou Pento and their daughters, Mia and Emma who proudly introduced Don as their “grandfather-in-law”!

He adored all 12 of his grandchildren and loved to share stories about all the time he spent with them.

In addition, Don leaves behind his two beloved brothers, Wally and Steve Comeau, whom he also loved to share many great stories of times they had together as well.

He is predeceased by his former wife Joyce (Barros) Comeau and his sister-in-law, Nancy Comeau.
