Donald M. Pirrello

Beloved husband to Barbara and an exceptional father to Scott and Mark of Weston; brother to Natalie Ling and her husband Richard (Dick) of Burlington, NC; Joan Pirrello Kemp and her late husband Nelson of Arlington, MA; Frank Pirrello and his wife Mary of Milford, MA; Linda Coldrick of Charlestown, RI; the late Jean English and her husband John of Washington, DC and the late Marie Pirrello of Sudbury, MA. Son of the late Frank and Teresa Pirrello of Sudbury. He was also an uncle, cousin and friend to many.

Don was a graduate of the Class of 1968 at Lincoln Sudbury High School and earned a Bachelor’s Degree at Suffolk University. Don had a successful career of more than 40 years as a Sales Representative and Vice President in the printing industry. He lived his whole life in Massachusetts and despite its cold, loved the changing of the seasons. Don was an avid Boston sports fan and enjoyed watching the triumphs and tribulations of our teams each season. For years he was a renowned pitcher in the Sudbury Men’s Softball league before retiring in 2014 after winning the championship in his last season. He played striker and a goalkeeper for Framingham United in the New England Over the Hill Soccer League from the spring of 2010 – 2022.

He was a man of faith and attended Mass on Sundays throughout most of his life.

He will be remembered for his easy-going nature, and most of all, a smile that brightened everyone’s day.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift or donation in Don’s honor to The Carroll Center for the Blind in Newton, MA (https://carroll.org/donate). Don was an active instructor in his son’s archery business and had a strong connection to the students and staff there, who affectionately referred to him as “Coach Don.”
