Peter M. Donahue

Pete, my dear friend and super cool dive buddy. I think of you often, and continually see things I wish I could share with you. I am so truly grateful to have had you in my life. You showed grace and tolerance and enormous patience with me always, and I loved the amazing diving adventures we shared, including down under. I will miss you always.
Love, Nic

Sorry for the time late. Last week, me and my family visited Sunshine Key and walked our camping spot. Pointed out where we jumped off the Bahia Honda bridge. Peter, I wouldn't be who I am if it wasn't for you. Thank you Brother.

My cousin Peter overcame tremendous challenges in his life; and did so with dignity and perserverence. He was a role model for many of his colleagues and friends, but he was Uncle Peter to my children. Every summer Peter and his mother my Aunt Peggy would plan a week of activities for the children in our family. Jumping off the telephone pole in the middle of Gloucester Harbor was a given activity and the Donahue boys always won the competitions! He reminded all of us in the family of our...

Peter was a conscientious worker in the electrical field. I started him out and he well earned his keep. We did a lot of scuba diving together as well as swimming. I am deeply saddened by his passing away and may he Rest In Peace!!!

Pete managed a business for me in the early 80's. Best of breed! He was simultaneously earning his "Captain Sparky" chops, well on his warp-speed way to earning his full-on Master's License. His was the go-to business for a huge Mahoney's Garden Center...a challenging client. His discipline was unparalleled. He ocean swam 365 days, every day; a rugged Cape Codder. Housebound, and nearing the Christmas Holidays, I could count on the diving card with the fishes. He was a tribute to...

Peter Donahue was a unique, amazing, beautiful man. He was generous and thoughtful. He could tell stories like no-one else, and the size of the lobster he caught on Saturday grew over the weekend until it was the size of a football by Monday! Pete taught me much about diving, and his antics underwater made me laugh until my mask filled.
Pete, the many life gifts you gave me will live on in my memory forever. I still tell people youre the reason I can enjoy any dive, because you showed...

My friend peter, i don't have enough wards to describe the kindness you showed to me. Who else could open his door to accommodate a black homeless person? Feeding her, taking her to work everyday and tell her to save her money so that she can have something in her savings. Who else can take care of you unconditionally? Making you feel at home, who paid all the bills for me. Oh nooo. I'm too heart broken. Tears are flowing from my eyes. I will miss you so much my God sent good Samaritan from...

Dear Joey,
I am so very sorry about your brothers passing. I will keep him in my prayers and I will also keep your family in my prayers. May God be good to him and may he rest in peace.
