WATERVILLE – Donald Earl Zaltzberg, 66, born and raised in Massachusetts, spent the last 20-plus years of his life in Waterville, until his passing on Jan. 4, 2024, at the Hospice House in Auburn.

He was the son of the late Irving and Hester C. Zaltzberg. He graduated from Malden High School in 1975 and went on to have a thriving business of his own. He was always willing to help anybody in need and was there to fix your oil burner at the drop of a hat.

Donald had a quick wit and a great sense of humor. He enjoyed spending his time doing a variety of different things such as bowling, dancing, going to comedy shows, traveling with his family and friends, watching the Patriots, riding his motorcycle, and just going out to have a good time. He had a great love for his many cats and even went so far as to tell his nieces and nephews that he could “speak cat” and always knew what they were saying to him.

Donald was well loved by a wide range of people but most importantly by his family. He is going to be missed by everyone, who’s life he touched.

He is survived by his son, Donnie Zaltzberg, and his granddaughter Reagan. Donald was a brother to the late Bonnie Young, James Bannen, Alan Zaltzberg, Debra White, and Andra Toppi. He was also the uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Visiting hours will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024, from 3-5 p.m., at Lawry Brothers Funeral Home located at 107 Main Street in Fairfield. Interment will be held at a later date.
