Donald I. Shuler, 79, died Thursday, March 7, 2019. Born in Newark, NY, he was a longtime Hampton resident. He retired from the US Air Force in 1978 after 20 years of service then went to work at NASA in the Security office, retiring as Captain in 2008 after 25 years. He was an avid bowler.

Don was preceded in death by his wife, Gloria Shuler, a daughter, Donna Fitzsimmons, and a son, Kevin Edward Shuler.
