Not sure what to say?

Missing you every day, Pops. I’ll carry your love, your laughter, and our memories with me for the rest of my life.

I will miss him. He always made you feel welcomed and loved. Rose Donaghue

A gallant firefighter and a Christian gentleman. Always had a smile in his heart. I will miss you Charlie.

My condolences to Hugh and the Donaghue family.

A true gentleman, who always had a cheerful word and sound advice. I was glad to have have known him.

It was a honor and a pleasure to know Mr. Charlie. A guy of graciousness and good will. Will be missed by all ❤

I first met Charlie in 1970. One of the priests in our Parish decided to start a youth hockey program, not a simple task in middle class Jersey City at the time. His 2 sons Charlie and Hugh were interested in playing and that was all the motivation he needed to get involved. Over the next 10 years we coached and refereed together. He was dedicated to doing whatever he could to stay involved with his sons, finding the time to get his refereeing license. He eventually coached his youngest son...

My condolences to the family, Mr Donaghue was the nicest man and a great coach, he will be missed.

May Charlie rest in heavenly peace . Our deepest sympathy to the Donaghue family with love and prayers.
