Sean, Macaire, and Maura,
Your dad and mom were very good to me during those Kings years, and I cherish those memories. I always felt like family. Your dad was a good man and friend. I will miss him very much. Miss you all! Dave

My most sincere thoughts and wishes are with the entire McDonough family. To Sean, Maura and McCaire your father was a great man and a great teacher. Wonderful memories from Holland Township and Holland School. May he rest in peace.

Dear Anne, Sean, Macaire, and Maura....I heard the sad news today and wanted to send my deepest condolences. I have such great memories of living on Oak Lane and you all are a big part of those special times. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Anne,
I just learned about Jack this morning. So sorry to hear the news and sad for you in your loss. Whenever I read a new James Patterson book, I think of Jack. Our Arthritis Class is still going strong. We miss both of you! Love, Ida

My brother, Dave,and I both had Mr. McDonough for 7th grade social studies. He was an excellent teacher and a proud Irishman. I remember him wearing a green tie quite often! Over the years, whenever I would see him at Milford Market or wherever, I made sure to always say hello. Much sympathy to his family and many friends.

Jack will always be in our hearts and prayers. We want his family to know it was a privilege to have been his friend, a co-worker and a student of his. His kindness to all and his love of his family will always be remembered. He will always be with us.

Jack welcomed us to St Edward's Church with a wonderful smile in 1996. Through the years, he always greeted us with a warm handshake or hug. We will miss you, Jack. God bless you.

Dear Anne, Sean, Macaire, Maura,
We are so sorry for your loss. Jack was a wonderful person. I worked with "Captain Jack" for over 20 years in the room right next to his. We spent a lot of time in the hallway before students arrived talking over the issues of the day and "holding court." We laughed lot.
We also loved the times we spent with your family, the Fosters, the Moninghoffs, et al. at all the social gatherings over the years.
It is also important that you know that...

My sincere condolences to the entire McDonough family. May God give you strength throughout coming the days and may the wonderful memories of your Dad sustain you. Sean, Bridgette told me about your Dad. I am so sorry for your loss. Fondly, MaryAnne Talipan Bridgette Martin Alfonso's Mother.
