Not sure what to say?

I was proud to be associated with John within Newell. He was a good and decent man, respected by all. RIP

Group of 10 Memorial Trees

I loved John. All of us from the JDRF Houston Chapter credit him with many of the successes of finding our cure. We shall not see the likes of him again.

From Bonnie Bruce and me, condolences. Fondly remember the JDRF dinners in Chicago and Milwaukee. Bonnie is in memory care, but still remembers working with John at Profexray with smiles.

Knowing John and working with him at the Neighborhood Health Clinic was a highlight of my career. My respect and admiration for John is enormous and he will remain in my memory as a man who cared deeply about others and was devoted to making the world a better place...which he did! I am grateful to have known John and his amazing family. Rest in peace, John.

Loved life to the fullest; John will be missed

Mr. McDonough was truly a humble gentleman. I have fond memories of his kind and unassuming manner and engaging stories. His greatest legacy is his loving family whom I am honored to know and work with. May John rest in peace and the McDonough family be comforted by the nearness of his love that remains among them.
