Rensselaer-Donald Ostrander Sr. of 88 Central Ave Rensselaer New York. He died of natural causes peacefully on Tuesday, January 5, 2016. He was born on September 4, 1934 in Albany son of the late Benjamin Ostrander and Ruth Steward. Don was a longtime resident of Rensselaer and was retired from Roofer Local 241 and the Van Rensselaer Manor. On September 10, 1965 he married his wife Marie Fitzpatrick Ostrander in Rensselaer.

Also survived by several nieces and nephews. Donald was a loving husband that honored his wife and treated her as a Queen. He was a Dad who always held two jobs making sure his children were provided for. He had a very special bond with son Donald Jr. and grandson Shawn (The Three Jokers). Donny was enjoyed and loved by many friends and all that knew him.
