Dennis D. Dostoler

DUDLEY – Dennis D. Dostoler, 67, of Korch Avenue, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, June 12, 2025, after a long battle with a rare form of Alzheimer's called Posterior Cortical Atrophy.

Dennis was the beloved husband and best friend of Denise M. (Cazeault) Dostoler, with whom he shared 43 beautiful years of marriage. He was a proud father to Matthew M. Dostoler and his wife Nicole of Webster, and Katelyn M. Battista and her husband Christopher of Dudley. Nothing brought Dennis more joy than being “Bampy” to his four grandchildren — Nolan, Avery, Rita, and Greta — who were the light of his life.

Born in Worcester, Dennis was the son of the late Harold K. and Irene A. (Mitchell) Dostoler. He grew up in Oxford and graduated from Oxford High School in 1975. For the past 40 years, he and Denise made their home in Dudley, where they filled their days with family, friends, and treasured traditions.

Dennis spent 35 years as a UPS “brownie” driver in Shrewsbury before retiring in 2014. After retirement, he enjoyed playing golf and riding his motorcycle, but his greatest happiness came from the simple things: sitting on the deck, laughing with his grandkids, and sharing stories with loved ones.

He is survived by his siblings: Michael Dostoler and his wife Elizabeth of Webster, Kenneth Dostoler of Worcester, Sharon Sneade and her husband Tom of Arizona, and Michelle Badgett and her husband Jimmy of North Carolina. He was also a loving brother-in-law to Michael Cazeault and his wife Norma of Oxford, and Diane Proffer and her husband Stephen of Oxford. He was predeceased by his sister, Carol Roseen, whom he now joins in eternal peace.

Dennis’s family would like to express their deepest gratitude to Christy and Pam from Care Central VNA and Hospice, and Jen from Laura’s Guardian Angels, whose compassion and care brought comfort during his final days.

Memorial calling hours will be held on Sunday, June 22, 2025, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Paradis-Givner Funeral Home, 357 Main Street, Oxford. A service will be held at 4:00 at the conclusion of calling hours.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dennis’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Association, 320 Nevada Street, Suite 201, Newton, MA 02460.

Though Dennis has left this world, his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
