Donald George Comiskey, formerly of Highland Lake, NY, passed away peacefully on August 1, 2020 five days shy of his 90th birthday. Donald is survived by his childhood sweetheart, Phyllis Marie Comiskey, to whom he was a devoted husband for 64 years; his brother, Ernest John Comiskey of Peachtree City, GA; his children Donna and David Loeffler of Hilton Head, SC, Philip and Monique Comiskey of Peachtree City, GA and Karen and Dan Harrington of Hilton Head, SC; his grandchildren Shaelyn (Comiskey) and USN Ensign Chipper Machemehl, Clara Comiskey, Daniel Harrington and Colin Comiskey. 

Although born and raised in Richmond Hill, NY, Donald’s heart was always a part of Highland Lake. He was a founding member of the Highland Lake Fire Department and a member of the Town of Highland Lion’s Club. Donald was an incredible husband and father. He always put the happiness and needs of his family first and was always there to rescue his children no matter what. He had a kind heart for all animals and would bring injured wildlife home to heal them when he could. He was known as “Superman” to his children and grandchildren due to his innate ability to build and fix anything, along with his unwavering strength. Donald was proud to have served as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. A private service will be held at a future date. Our deep loss is Heaven’s great gain. We love you, Pop!
