WATERBURY - Donald J. McCasland, 65, of Waterbury, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by the love and comfort of his family on Wednesday, September 28, 2016, after a brief illness. He was the devoted husband of Maureen (Sullivan) McCasland.
Don was born June 2, 1951, in Waterbury, CT, the son of the late Peter and Eleanor (Michan) McCasland.
