Not sure what to say?

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Donoghue famiy. I often think back onto the last time Mr. Donoghue came to visit his old friend Clare when he was sick. The minute he entered, his energy lifted the spirit of the entire apartment. His booming voice, his sense of humor, his warmth and generosity made us feel wonderful during a low time. The earth is a sadder place now, without this kind sole on it.

My thoughts and prayers are with Peter and all of the Donoghue family on the loss of a great father.

A warm, generous, selfless man who was so proud of all his children and grandchildren, Mr. Donoghue demonstrated a life well-lived. He will be missed and remembered by many. My deepest sympathy to all his family.

On the special occasions when I met him in Columbus with Noony and Jack, Mr. Donoghue's wit, intellect and charisma were evident. He certainly loved his family and will be missed.

Mr. Donoghue was an incredible friend and neighbor to my family for over 40 years. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. My heartfelt sympathy to all the Donoghues.

My prayers are with all of Dick's family. He was an outstanding gentleman and I enjoyed working with him as a volunteer at the Executive Service Corps of Chicago.
