Donald Francis Hedenberg, 74, of Winsted, CT, passed away suddenly on June 8th 2017. Donald was born on November, 6, 1942 to Gladys (Brayne) and Norman Hedenberg. His home town was New Britain but his love of the outdoors drew him to live in Unionville, Barkhamsted, Tolland, Mass. and ultimately Winsted, CT. Many didn’t know that Donald was a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged from the Army in 1972. Donald was a butcher by trade. He spent decades building a reputation as being a skilled meat cutter and worked for many different grocers over the years. Donald was also a fisherman. His passion for fishing was evident in his great stories about his proudest moments on the water. Donald’s family and friends know how strong his will and love for helping those in his life was. If you were his friend and needed him, he was there with no questions asked. Don’s love of baseball, music, being in nature and his hearty laugh are treasured pieces that made up the man his family and friends hold dear. Donald is survived by his loving son, Gregory Hunt Hedenberg, and Gregory’s mother, Nancy Elizabeth Hedenberg, both of Newington CT; Gregory’s girlfriend, Gemma Casciano of West Hartford and her children, Maya and Jack Varney; Donald’s sister, Noreene (Hedenberg) Carlson and her husband Howard Carlson of Pennsylvania; as well as their daughters, Karen and Susan. He is predeceased by his younger brother, David Hedenberg, who passed on but is survived by his wife, Judy Hedenberg and their children, Janet and Laura.
