Edward Donin

Edward Isaakovich Donin passed away on January 10, 2024 at the age of 90 at Royal Health Braintree.

Edward was a son of the late Isaak and Sarra (Lekach) Donin from Belarus. He was born in Minsk in 1933, and grew up in Moscow. From a young age he loved fixing things by taking them apart to learn how they work. He graduated from the Bauman Moscow State Technical University and went on to work as an aeronautical engineer at the Yakovlev Design Bureau. Later, he designed hydraulic pumps at the Science Research Institute for Hydraulic Machinery until immigrating to the USA in 1992.

Edward had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed telling stories of his remarkable lifetime adventures and encounters. He had built many lasting relationships throughout his life, and these lifelong friendships are some of his biggest accomplishments. He was a role model for his daughter, a beloved cousin and uncle, and a loyal friend.

Edward was predeceased by his wife of 38 years, Vera (Perlin) Donin, and a brother, Alexandr Donin. He is survived by his daughter Irina and her husband Truong, his grandchildren Simon and Eva, and extended family.

Graveside service will be held at B’Nai Brith Cemetery at 55 St. Johns Rd., Worcester, MA  at 1:30 pm on Sunday, January 14, 2024.
