Donald William LaPlante, age 70, of Waterbury, passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side on April 11, 2022 at the West Haven VA Medical Center, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Donny was born in Waterbury on October 13, 1951, son of the late Robert and Madeline (Codianne) LaPlante. Having grown up in Waterbury, Donny attended Waterbury Public Schools before he went on to proudly serve his country in the United States Army, during the Korean War. Throughout the years, Donny owned and operated several businesses in Waterbury from restaurants to night clubs, including one he was particularly proud of, the Trepid Fox. Donny had a love for music, including his hobby of collecting records, but found his greatest joy spending time with his family and grandchildren. Donny was also an avid N.Y. Yankee Fan, loved traveling to the casino with his siblings, and always looked forward to weekly Thursday night dinners at the Italian American Civic Club in Waterbury.
