Donald "Don" Robert Shevory, 65, of James Street, Attleboro, passed away on Friday, December 25, 2015 at his home.  He was the beloved husband of Judith Ellen (Strang) Shevory, to whom he was married on June 10, 1988. Born on March 2, 1950 in Brockton, MA, he was the son of Francis Shevory and Pearl Mae (Towner) Shevory. Don was a longtime resident of Attleboro, having previously lived in North Attleboro. He proudly and honorably served our country in the United States Army, and retired in 2002 after working for many years as a self-employed Painter. Don enjoyed staying abreast of the news, particularly through watching CNN and Fox News.  He enjoyed the simple things in life, including the companionship of "Spaz", his cat.
