Foberg, Donald H.

Donald H. Foberg, 87, of Glastonbury, husband of the late Dale (Shuttleworth) Foberg, passed away Thursday at Arden Courts in Farmington. A New Britain native and former resident, he was son of the late Arvid and Florence Foberg and moved to Glastonbury in 1962. A graduate of New Britain High School, Class of 1953, and the University of CT in 1957, Don served as a Captain in the US Army Reserves for 8 years. Don retired as a Vice President of the former Savings Bank of New Britain and American Savings Bank, retiring after 38 years of service in 1996. Don was a long time member of First

Lutheran Church in New Britain,

After retirement Don served as a Commissioner of the Glastonbury Housing Authority and volunteered his time on election days at the polls. He worked to reopen Old Newgate Prison and volunteered there after the opening because of our family connection to this historic building. He enjoyed times at the family's cottage on Congamond Lake, UCONN football, the men and women's basketball teams and playing golf. He and Dale enjoyed going to many Final Four Tournaments, a few trips to Bermuda and many trips to Cape Cod with family.

Surviving is his daughter, Deborah Peterson and her husband John of Glastonbury; two grandchildren, Kristina Lemke and her husband PJ of Manchester and Benjamin Peterson and his girlfriend Emilee Wilson of Dedham, MA. Besides his wife Dale, Don was predeceased by his parents Arvid and Florence Foberg, a brother David Foberg and a sister, Dorothy Foberg Griffin as well as his nephew and godson, Peter Griffin.
