Born on March 12, 1931, in Detroit, the son of Thomas James Sheridan and Thresa Kenyon Sheridan, Don grew up in River Rouge, where he was a graduate of River Rouge High School. After serving his country in the U.S. Army he obtained his Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Wayne State University and made his career as a pharmacist in Milford.

He was a devoted member and usher at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Milford and of the Knights of Columbus, with whom he served as the Treasurer for many years. He loved working the fish fries at the church and was a familiar figure at the food booth at the concerts in Central Park. Don also sang barbershop quartet in the Milford Chapter of SPEBSQSA.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Barbara; children, Jeff (Becky) Sheridan, Tim Sheridan, LouAnn (George) Blouin, Teri Kasten, Rick (Dawn) Sichak; grandchildren, Danny Blouin, Adam Blouin, Traci Merry, Brendan Sichak and many dear friends, neighbors, fellow parishioners at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Milford. He was preceded in death by sons, Mark and Todd.
