Douglas J. Donahue

These folks let a young jock into their lives and never treated me like anybody who was anything else. Spending time in the carbon dating room became my escape from coach lunches. We first met at the Newman Center on campus and quickly became my daughters adopted God Parents. Although I was a 38-year-old Philosophy/Law student, Doug was a Mentor, Hero, most importantly, a man I called my friend. They both Loved baseball, keeping score under a blanket. I read this morning "Something precious...

Doug and Dee were our wonderful neighbors for so many years. We still miss them. I have been thinking about them this week as I know they would be celebrating Joe Biden's election with us. Condolences to all the family.

I love this picture of your parents! It sums them up perfectly. My husband Dana worked for Doug at the University of Arizona. We were lucky to have been invited to several events with your parents. We always had a great time with them. Our deepest condolences for your family's loss. Heaven has gained some wonderful Angels

Doug was a lovely man. I played badminton with him.I would seek him out to play. Playing with him was such fun! He will be missed.

I´m so saddened by Doug´s passing. He was the best colleague. Despite retiring not that long after I was hired, he was kind, supportive, unusually active, and interested in discussing physics. His smiling face will be missed by all who had the privilege of having him as a colleague.

What a loss Margaret. The world is a smaller place without our parents - and their unconditional love. Thanks for sharing his story - it is so amazing. It explains things about you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

For many decades Doug worked tirelessly to increase the quality of the Department of Physics at UA, and he appreciated the wisdom of showing our resources: He offered to countless visitors a guided tours of the world famous radiocarbon accelerator mass spectrometry laboratory he created. He is well known as a distinguished professor and teacher to many of our Physics graduates. I add a picture from a retirement party in 2003 showing a dear colleague I remember, whose kindness and...

Margaret, I didn´t realize your Dad passed. Knowing what it is to lose ones father, my heart hurts for you. The world is just not the same place. Reading about his life reminded me of what strength, courage, responsibility and vitality is. May everything he loved be a comfort to you. Sending love and kindness. Darcy
