So sorry for your loss! was a great man RIP

Mrs. Donato,
So sorry to hear of Mr. Donatos passing. My sincere condolences. I remember you both fondly from Hummelstown Elementary School Select Chorus, probably from 91-93?. You both pushed us to be great children singers and even did choreography. I have so many fond memories from those days. We sang in different languages, german, French and Latin.

Judy & I share fond memories from High School and teaching assignments with Jane & Mike. So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. We learned many things that we never knew about Mike's exciting and full life making and sharing music.

I was president of the High School Choir at Hershey High, graduating in 1964. Mr. Donato was very supportive of all we did and I always appreciated his desire for us to sound the best.

Nothing but fond memories of him.....which is challenging to say about most of one's high school teachers!!

Deepest sympathies from the Hershey Class of 1969, preparing for out 50th class reunion in 2 weeks.

We all have fond memories of our music guru- Mr. Donato- as well as his talented wife- Jane.

He will surely be leading the heavenly choir!!

So sad to hear of Mr. Donato's passing. In lieu of his passing, I feel honored that he and his wife Jane joined us for the Class of 68 class reunion last September. He was a beloved music teacher, gentle and kind human being, and a pillar of the community. RIP, Mr. Donato.

I remember Mr. Donato as an administrator at our Jr High School in Hershey in the early 70's. I am now 60 years old and the impression he left on me from over 40 years ago was that of a polished, compassionate, gentle, educated, well spoken man.
