Robert James Donaldson Jr.

We worked at Abide-A-While Nursery in 1999-2001 and often saw Bob as he tended the flowers and plants throughout the property. He was a joy to know, a good and honest man and a Christian. Bruce, we only found out about your Dad's passing today (2022). Please accept our condolences. He was a wonderful man.

Bobby and Bruce:

You and your families are in Allie's and my prayers. I have great fondness if your father and Abide-A-While.

Then Men's Bible Study was a special weekly event for my father. I thank your father for giving him that time.

Sincerely,
Carl and Allie Mitchell

Mrs. Donaldson, Robby, Bruce, and Andy, I was sad to hear of Mr. Donaldson's passing. Lots of memories from long ago when we were growing up. I remember sitting in the pew at St. Andrew's with Carolyn under your watchful eye during church and the house at the back of the nursery. I'm glad I was able to see you at church the last time I was in town. He had a life well-lived. As someone else said in this memory book, now that he and Ozzie have changed zip codes, the camellias planted...

God's peace and comfort to y'all! Your dad was a treasure! As is your mom. Such a privilege to get to meet the man and share his love of God and God's Creation! My grandmother used to buy from he (and your mom) MANY years ago. My best friend also worked at Abide-A-While and so I got to see and chat with him there as well as at Cursillo closing services and even the Christian Men's Conference. What a privilege to enjoy a mighty man of God! His example of gentle, kind, love, love,...

Atty. Robert- Please accept my condolences

A precious gift of this holy man to family, friends and all he met. He had an aura of peace and love about him and can only imagine the joyous reunion with his God and those who love him in heaven! My dad, his uncle, Robert Coleman is surely grinning.
So very sorry Suzanne and cousins. Can only imagine how much you miss him already. You are all in my heart and prayers.

To Bruce and the Donaldson family,
Let God's Love give you strength. All of you will continue to bring your father's joy into this world. I am sorry for your father's passing.

Dear Bruce, Andy, and all the Donaldson family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of Mr. Donaldson, who was always one of the most delightful people on every occasion I saw him. I enjoyed his good humor and always liked to hear him ask someone, with hand over his heart, to "give the pledge" that they would fertilize and water the plants they bought from him. He made visiting Abide-A-While a pleasant experience and a valuable lesson in sharing his knowledge. We will all...

I was so very lucky to grow up in Charleston with Mr. Donaldson and his wonderful family. He was always kind to me, and I appreciate how he taught me about business from an early age. He was a very good man; he will be sorely missed.
