Conesus: July 9, 2014 at age 86 years. Survived by his wife of 63 years Jane (Mulvaney) Windsor, faithful K9 companion Dewy, and children; Debbie (Steve) Dinsmore of CA, Pam (David) Young of Livonia, Peg Woodruff of Livonia, Dee (John) Piasta of Honeoye, David (Dana) Windsor of TX, Chris (Debbie) Windsor of UT. 18 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, many nieces & nephews, and many friends. Don was a US Navy Veteran and was a retiree of Rochester Telephone Co. Devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, and friend to many.
Donald D. Windsor was a man of strength, wisdom and integrity. He was married to his true love Jane Ruth for almost 64 years. Together they had six children, who brought meaning to and completed their lives together. Don was known as a hard worker, a compassionate husband, loving father, and very dear friend. Over the years Don enjoyed raising his children and watching his grand children and great-grandchildren grow. He spent many years devoted to the Catholic Church, Rotary and giving back to the community in any way he could. His most cherished memories come from traveling with his beloved Jane all over the world. There was nothing he couldn’t fix, and nobody he wouldn’t help. Remembering his sense of humor, tender heart, and tight hugs is what we will carry forever. He taught us how to love and how to be loved, the true meaning of devotion and loyalty. We will never forget you. Until we meet again my angel, rest in peace.
Friends may call on Sunday, July 13th, from 2-5pm at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc., 21 Big Tree Street, Rte 15 & 20A, Livonia. Don’s funeral mass will be held on Monday, July 14th, at 10:30am at St. Matthew Catholic Church, 6591 Richmond Mills Road, Rte 20A, Livonia.

Debbie, Jane and family,
I’m so sorry to have missed Don’s calling hours and catching up with all of you. Don was such a cheerful, happy guy and will be missed by so many. My thoughts are with your family at this time….Sandy Struble Driscoll
My deepest sympathy to the family. I worked with Don at the Hemlock fair for a number of years.
To the Windsor family,
So sorry to hear of Don’s passing. Such a kind and thoughtful person who loved his family so much. Whenever I saw Don and Jane out and about when I would visit my mother I made a point to say hello. He always made you feel like you made his day when, in fact, he made yours by making you feel special.
Sincerely,
Pete Parker

To the Windsors,
I worked at Smith Lumber and Don was one of my favorite customers. To say he was one of the good guys would be gross understatement. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Hugs
Dearest Don and Family, Curtis and I will never forget the time we became part of the family when we crashed the family reunion cruise in 2006 and had the best time of our lives. Then the week vacation with Dave and Dana in Livonia, NY with the family. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone who knew you and your family. We love you and will miss you until we meet again for eternity. All our love and prayers,
Curtis & Becky Pietrowski (Windsorski)
So sorry to hear the news about Don. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. May God bless you and comfort you All.
To The Windsor family – I had the pleasure of meeting your Father when he was here in Houston, Texas visiting his son David and his wife Dana (my daughter). He was a true gentleman. My deepest sympathy and on going prayers to your entire family. Fondly, Bonnie Beeson
Dear Jane and all the Windsor family,
We are still shocked from hearing about Don’s passing from our world to his promised reward.
Our words inadequately convey and understate our feelings of compassion for you and your family,Jane. Many memories of the fun filled experiences that we shared together with you and Don, tend to offset the temporary void that now exists in our lives. But the HOPE in believing the promise that we will one day, experience the JOY of being together again in a much better place, is comforting.
With our warm thoughts and prayers,
Jim & Joan Young
Dear Jane and the Windsor & Mulvaney families, I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss my chats with Don, he was such a kind and gentle man. He will be truly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him.
Love & Prayers,
Hazel (Hunt) DeLaney

Dear Windsor family,
I am sorry to hear of Mr. Windsor’s passing (I know I was supposed to call him Don but couldn’t). You were like my second parents (and thanks for taking me in that summer in 1970). Many good times. Love and healing prayers for everyone who loved Mr. Windsor (family and friends). He was a great man and will be missed.
Sorry I can’t be there but will be with you in spirit.
Love,
Janice
Karen and I wish to extend our thoughts and prayers. We have lots of fond memories of hanging with the “Windsors” in the summer! I am reminded of a time when Don assisted me when my car was in a ditch on swamp road. Ah, such a great guy!!! Love to you all.
Dear Jane and family, We have such wonderful memories of such a great man. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God hold you as you pass through this difficult time. The Pease Family
