Donald H. Donahue

Dear Family, I went to grade school and high school with Don. We were "best friends" growing up, and he ate many, many meals with my family in Brooklyn. My mother, Sara, always made extra meals for Don, and gave him packages to take home to his apartment on Flatbush Avenue.

He was a wonderful guy and loyal friend!

I hadn't talked to Don for about fifty years. Then, I found him in Colorado about three months ago. We talked several times since.

When I called...

God saw Don was getting tired,and a cure was not to be,So He put His around him And wispered,"Come with Me."With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and saw him fade away Although we couldn't bear to lose him,We could not bid him to stay.A golden heart stopped beating,Hard-working hands were laid to rest;God broke our hearts to prove to us-He only takes the best.

Don Donahue was a wonderful, long-time friend of Gary F. Palmer and I, gretchen d. carman-palmer, and our children, David, Steven and Genifer Palmer-Freeman, and of Gary's current wife, Diane Swan Palmer.

When Gary and I were married, Don was a frequent guest in our lakefront home. When he and Laura were married and lived in Lakewood, she and I became good friends, although I couldn't speak Spanish much, nor she English. When she brought little Marie Laura back to Colorado, Don...

It was a pleasure to have known Don. Every time we visited Colorado, we would run into Don at Iacino events. He will be greatly missed by all. Joe and Laurie Iacino (San Diego)
