NEWTON FALLS – Donald George Welsko, 77, passed peacefully on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010.

On May 29, 1932, in Patton, Pa., Donald was born the son of George and Frances Cihan Welsko.

The family relocated to Ohio when Donald was a youth. His education was obtained in the Palmyra school system, where he graduated from Palmyra High School in 1950. Following graduation, Don entered the United States Air Force, serving as an air traffic controller during the Korean War. He served his country honorably until his discharge in 1954.

Don was employed as a dispatcher and business agent for the Operating Engineer Local 66 in Youngstown, Ohio, retiring from his duties in 1995. He was also the former owner/operator of the AMVETS Post 112 in Newton Falls.

Don was a parishioner of St. Mary and St. Joseph Parish in Newton Falls and St. Catherine Catholic Church in Lake Milton.

He was an active member of the AMVETS Post 112, American Legion Post 737, Army & Navy Post 271 and a social club member of the VFW Post 3332. He also was a member of the Polish Legion American Veterans Post 164 and the Moose Lodge 688 of Warren, Ohio.

Earlier in his life, Don’s favorite pastimes included hunting, fishing and bowling, while later in life his greatest joy came from simply being with his family and friends, a good glass of wine and playing cards.

Memories of Donald will be carried on by his loving and devoted wife of 55 years, Elizabeth Welsko; sons and daughters-in-law, Donald G. and Christine Welsko Jr. of Milton, Ga.; Daniel J. and Carol Welsko of Newton Falls; his daughter and son-in-law, Jill and John Casey of Merritt Island, Fla.; his beloved granddaughters, Rachael and her husband, Brett Turner, Elizabeth Welsko and Danielle Casey; his sister, Pat Medallis of Cortland, Ohio, and his many nieces, nephews and friends.

Family members that preceded Don were his parents; his sisters, Lorraine Brazin and JoAnn Smith and his infant granddaughter, Lucia Welsko.

Don will always be remembered for his perseverance through adversity, with loyalty and love to his family, as husband, father, poppy and friend.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Borowski Memorial Home in Newton Falls, where a prayer service will be held at 9:30 a.m. Friday.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at St. Mary and St. Joseph Parish in Newton Falls with the Rev. David Merzweiler and the Rev. Matthew Mankowski as celebrants.
