Don Zimmer Passes


MCC retiree Donald E. Zimmer passed away July 1 at his home in Floral City, FL, under the care of his family and Hospice of Citrus County. He was 81.

Don retired from MCC in 1980, after nine years of service. He came to MCC as a heavy laborer in 1970 and earned increasingly responsible assignments through the years. He served as acting director and acting assistant director of the physical plant in the mid-1970s during a time of transition for that department. He retired as a building maintenance supervisor in 1980.

Don was a U.S. Navy veteran.
 
Don is survived by his wife of 55 years, Shirley F. (Steele) Zimmer; son Charles M. Zimmer and wife Linda; daughter Susan Cantwell-Moore and husband Daniel; sisters Margaret Zurick and Dorothy Tando; brothers Richard Zimmer and David Zimmer; and five grandchildren. Don's sisters and brothers still reside in Greater Rochester.
