•Luce, Donald, age 79, died October 4, 2025, after a long battle with Multiple System Atrophy. He is survived by his children: Ed Luce (Patty), Robert Luce, Richard Luce and Jennifer Luce (Kevin Wlos); his grandchildren: Ryan Luce, Kyle Luce, Mikey Luce, Jordann Delgado; his six great-grandchildren. He is also survived by two sisters, two brothers and numerous nieces and nephews. He spent his early years working on many farms around his family’s home on Root Road where the previous generations settled in the 1800’s. After graduating from Brockport High School, he began his career at Owens Illinois as a line worker. He spent many years after that as a body man/mechanic in the auto industry – even owning his own shop with his brother Fred, named Luce Collision. He finished his career as a pipe fitter working until retirement at Eastman Kodak Company. One of Donald’s life passions was bowling where he spent almost 60 years as a high average bowler. He consistently averaged over 200, bowled five 300 games (a perfect score), even bowling one at the age of 69. In the bowling world, he was affectionately called “the Doctor” as he loved coaching other bowlers and teaching bowlers that were just learning the game.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held October 12 from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Brockport Veterans Club, 222 West Avenue, Brockport. Donations in his memory can be made to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation.
