Donald Joseph Mangine

Donald J. Mangine, 80, passed away on Sunday morning, November 15, 2015 at home.

He was born in Buffalo, New York on February 2, 1935, the only son of Joseph and Ona Mangine.

He received his Masters Degree from University of Pittsburgh in Public Administration and moved his family to Berlin in 1965 to begin his job as Executive Director of the Berlin Housing Authority, a position he held until retiring in 2000.

He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Mary, sons Joe and John, grandchildren Lauren, Kelsey and Adrian, and great grandson Nolan.

Don worked tirelessly to realize his vision of a revitalized Berlin and provide quality, affordable housing to its elderly and others in need. Don loved horse racing, vacationing with Mary in Saratoga Springs every August for nearly 50 years.

There will be no calling hours or service.
