I love you John and miss you dearly. Can't believe it's been a year. Your memory and everything you taught and showed me through the years while working with you everyday at Yale lives on in me and you are still very much part of the office. I remember the jokes you told and sense of humor you had in hard or busy times here and it makes me laugh and gives me a calm like no other. Thank you for everything you shared. Will be remembered forever. Miss ya!

Hard to believe that its been a year since John's passing. What everyone should know is how much he lives on within all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him. John's life was one well-lived, and I miss him all of the time.

John was a man of few words but his life and actions said volumes. He taught us patience, kindness, acceptance with dignity, compassion to others, a commitment to family and a willingness to climb mountains and meet the challenges of life with tenderness and strength, with courage and humility. He lives in our hearts and is deeply loved now and forever.

My sincerest condolences for your family and friends, and especially to your mom, Pat, a long time friend of the Brosious family and the Whitneyville Church Nursery School. May you be comforted by the loving memories of John's sweet spirit.

Sue and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Donohue family. There are no words to express our sorrow. I remember John as a little toddler New Years Eve 1964 crawling up the stairs to come get me for breakfast. So many memories! I remember John waking up every morning blasting it's a Beautiful Morning. I could hear the song through my bedroom window. John was always there to lend a helping hand, whether it be helping me tune up my bike, helping me paint and assemble...
