Paul Anthony Donatelli

We lived across the street from Paul and Jewel on Jeffery Drive in the 1980's. Paul loaned us an number of tools and fed us wonderful meals. He and Jewel filled the role of parents to us when our parents were a long ways away. They were great prayer warriors and supported our ministry with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. A wonderful couple. I also remember their daughter DeDe who was kind like them.

My family moved across the street from the Donatelli's in 1962 and became family. Mr. and Mrs. Donatelli are the kindest people you could meet. So many great memories of Mr. D taking us fishing, camping, and going to the Dodger Players Day so we could meet our heroes and take pictures with them like Frank Robinson. Mr. D coming home from work and showing us how to play the game Battleship with graph paper before it became a plastic toy! Sending love to the Donatelli family. RIP Mr....

May God give you strength as you carry on without your dear Paul.

The angels are dancing! Paul and Jewel touched generations!

I met Paul at Grace Church around 1965. He had a warm, inviting presence and gentle spirit. Through the years our families served together in various ministries including building projects at Lopez Conference Center. Paul was an authentic follower of Christ and left a legacy of children and grandchildren who loved and served the Lord. Easy to love Paul Donatelli. Continued blessings to Jewel and the family.

Paul, Pete Hom and I not only worked together for many decades at the California Division of Highways (Caltrans), but were also active in many Highways Golf Tournaments around the Central Coast. This photo taken after a golf outing included Howard Bentzinger with the mustache and me with the beard. Paul was a hard worker, never to be accused of leaning on his shovel. Say hi to Pete, Dyer Campbell and Ken Jones for me Paul.

Steve: Wish I was attending my dad´s memorial service. It would mean I had him an other 49 years. Thoughts & prayers are with you. Kevin Rayner.

Stephanie and I send our heartfelt condolences. We continue to pray for the entire Donatelli family and send our love.
