I can't believe you passed away,Mr Donahue. I was your nurse from VAMC HBPC,and it was a pleasure and honor to know you. i loved your stories,thanks for serving our country,God Bless you and my sincere sympathy to your family.

Ed, Steven, Jackie, and your families... Celebrate the great years you've had with your dad! I think he's looking down(probably with a drink in his hand,) cheer-sing, saying how very proud he is of you all!

What can I say? Jack, I wouldn't be where I am today without you giving me my start at J&J. You helped introduce me to the great outdoors,a passion I carry to this day. You are a true "character".DINGERS MARINES FOREVER!!
