Daniel P. McDonnell

I've just returned to the Cleveland area and learned one of the lawyers I worked for years ago has passed away. I worked for Dan (I'd always address him as Mr. McDonnell...just my way) in 1978 in the Engineers Building downtown. Dan was a throwback to the 1940's wearing a fedora and smoking cigarettes, like Humphrey Bogart. He had a loud hearty laugh, and I remember how he shared a hilarious story with the office that his daughter, Nancy, told him about in a letter when she was visiting...

Dan was my grandfather i wish he was still he today I'm the daughter of Nancy McDonnell

what a guy!...and what a legacy you all have in his memory...it's truly the end of an era...i wish for you peace: it's hard to be an orphan at any age....love, mary ei

Hi Mrs. Connelly and family.
To whoever reads this, I am a friend of Katies and won't be able to make it to the funeral or wake, but want to let you know that I am praying for you all.
In my prayers,
Kelsey O'Driscoll

To all the McDonnell children and especially my nephew-in-law John,

May you find comfort
Knowing that those
Who love the Lord
Live forever in heaven
Even as their memory
Lives forever in our hearts.

"The Lord is my light and my Salvation."
Psalm 27:1

Our condolence to you and your extended family. Your father was blessed with a long life and a wonderful family to enjoy it with.

It's hard to find something to say at times like these. Although, I never really got to know him, I do know that he was a good man and the times I have talked to him were plesant and he will be missed. But now he's with Grandpa Conkey looking down on all of us. I offer my condolences to all the family. Love you.
