Donald F. Rosenberg passed away at his home in Baton Rouge, La. on December 8, 2012. Don was born on Nov 3, 1928 in Syracuse N.Y., the second son of Jacob and Gladys Rosenberg. Don and his brother Dick spent their youth in the Syracuse area dominating the local high school basketball scene. Later, they both earned engineering degrees from Syracuse University, graduating in 1950. He was a member of the Morning Star Masonic Lodge, Marcellus, N.Y. Don started his career with Allied Chemical in Syracuse, but had it rudely interrupted by the Korean War when he was drafted by the Army to use his engineering skills at the Chemical Center at Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland. In 1951, while in the Army, Don married Alice Joyce Johnson of Phelps, N.Y. After his discharge from the Army, Don restarted his career with Allied Chemical in Syracuse. Over the course of a 28 year career with Allied Chemical, they had 3 children, David, Eric and Martha (Curry) and ived in a variety of exotic locales including Detroit Mi, Buffalo N.Y. and Morristown N.J. before they moved to Baton Rouge La. in 1967. Tragically, not long after moving to Baton Rouge, Don lost his wife Joyce to cancer. In 1970, Don married Kay Hulce (Lee) of Amite, La. They remained in Baton Rouge as Don rose to the level of General Manager of Allied Chemical's High Density Polyethylene business. In 1978, Don left Allied Chemical to work for Ethyl Corp. and later Brockway Plastics in Richmond Va. In 1986, Don retired and he and Kay returned to Baton Rouge to live. Kay passed away in 2005. In addition to his 3 children and their spouses, Joy Rosenberg, Kathy Rosenberg and Steve Curry, Don is survived by his 7 grand children, Jacob (Cia), Joel (Anna), James (Laura) Rosenberg, Harry and Jerry Rosenberg and Jackson and Max Curry. Don is also survived by his sister-in-law, Barbara Rosenberg, of Skaneateles N.Y. Dad had many passions throughout his long life and each of them seemed to have heir own season, in his youth, it was basketball. Later, his passion became the challenge of creating and managing profitable business organizations in the highly competitive petrochemical industry. At various times along the way, Dad was an avid antique collector, sailor, golfer, gardener, bridge player and owner of a fully restored 1950 Chevy convertible. However, there were two passions that filled Dad's heart more than any of the others. Dad grew up in the heart of the Depression and his father, Jacob, provided for his family by delivering milk for Netherlands Dairy. The winter mornings in Syracuse were dark, freezing cold and often quite treacherous. Dad regularly worked alongside his father as they delivered milk along the route. When Dad sat down to the dinner table with his brother at the end of the day, he knew first hand of the hard work and sacrifice that took place in order to make that meal possible. Along the milk route, as Dad watched his father deal with the adversities of bad weather and unpredictable customers in a dismal depression era economy, he grew to love and admire his father with a depth and dimension that is not often seen in today's "child centered" family life. Our grandfather was a role model for Dad throughout his entire life. Dad's second great passion in life was for his 2nd wife Kay. In truth, all of Dad's many hobbies only became passions for him because he could enjoy them along side Kay. They were devoted to one another. When Kay passed away in 2005, Dad was heartbroken. He was able to carry on with the help of the many friends that he and Kay had made through the years (and of course Frosty and CharlieÉhis two dogs). Our father was one of a kind and he will be sorely missed. Dad was also a long time supporter of Boys Town, a non- profit that helps abused children, so in lieu of flowers, we would ask you to consider a donation in his memory (800 217-3700 or http://www.boystown.org/).
