Donald “Blip” Paul Topel

Unexpectedly on Monday, June 15, 2026, Donald “Blip” Paul Topel passed away.

Donald was the beloved father of Connor Saunders and Joshua Visokey. Loving Uncle of Jeremy Taylor and Christopher Taylor. He was also a treasured friend of Hank Hanasik and many others whose lives were brightened by his friendship, humor, and kindness.

Known affectionately as “Blip,” Donald had a remarkable ability to make people laugh. His quick wit, playful spirit, and larger-than-life personality left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. Whether sharing a funny story or finding humor in everyday moments, Blip’s greatest gift was making others smile.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no public visitation. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Arrangements are entrusted to O’Brien’s Funeral Home.
