Donald “Don” Robert Ostrowski

Passed away far too early on July 10, 2017 at the age of 64. Devoted husband of Dianne (nee Rinzel), for 42 incredible years. Amazing father of Martin (Calyn) and Andrew (Alysse) Ostrowski. Loving grandfather of Soraya and Benedict Ostrowski. Beloved red-haired (which was passed on to his grandson Benedict) son of Robert and Bernice (Glodowski). Precious baby brother of Marlene (George) Johns and Nancy (Doug) Wells, and cherished brother-in-law of Donald (Sandy) Rinzel and Dennis (Kathy) Rinzel. Also loved by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends too many to count.

Gathering at Holy Apostles Catholic Parish, 16000 West National Avenue in New Berlin, Wisconsin on Friday July 14, 2017 from 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM. Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM.

Don was a charismatic and truly gifted and unique individual. Generous and kind, his humor, laughter, and ability to make people smile will resonate and live well beyond his shortened time on earth. A gifted and talented musician, his love for music transcended his voice and appreciable talent. Don was a skilled craftsman, a lover of outdoors, and a truly wonderful husband and father. He loved his family first and foremost, and will be loved and remembered by all. A special thank you to the devoted staff at Heritage Memory Care Center and Seasons Hospice for all of the loving care provided to Don.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Don’s name appreciated to Civic Music Association Society of Milwaukee (CMA), a nonprofit dedicated to giving young people the opportunity to experience the joy of making music,  at http://civicmusicmilwaukee.org.
