  Donald F. Kirsch, 93, of Cowlesville, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at Gateway Home in Attica surrounded by his loving family.

He was born November 23, 1928, son of the late Albert and Florence (Meyer) Kirsch.  He is predeceased by his brother Richard (Shirley Kahl) Kirsch.  Don is survived by his loving wife of 70 years, Janet (Dole); children, Donna (Timothy) Embt, Daniel (Audrey) Kirsch, Peggy (Tom Czechowski), Robert (Emma) Kirsch, Ann (Gary) Daniel, Denise (Larry) Hibsch.  He was a proud Grandfather to 15 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and had many nieces and nephews.

Don was a life-long, hard-working dairy farmer who loved his John Deere tractors and spent many hours playing Euchre with his friends and spending time with his family. One of his favorite things to do was to brag about his grandchildren and their accomplishments and smiling at all his great grandbabies when they would visit.  

There will be no prior visitation.  A private Catholic Mass for immediate family only will be held on Saturday, February 5, 2022, at Sacred Heart Church in Bennington, where he has been a member for 65 years.  A Celebration of Life will be held for extended family and friends at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please consider memorials in Don’s memory to Gateway Home, 91 Main St., Attica, NY 14011 or Harris Corners Fire Dept., 585 Route 20A, Strykersville, NY 14145.
