Not sure what to say?

I rremember quite well many pleasant encounters with Vince at Bonner and Villanova. A fine teacher, friend, parent, and music man.

I was a graduate of Bonner and taught there for six years. Vince was a great teacher and very respected. He was what Bonner was all about. I and my father were colleagues of his and I will always remember his devotion to Bonner. Great family and a Great person!!!

I am so sorry to hear of Vinces passing. I had the pleasure and honor of teaching with him from 1974 until 2001. He was an inspiration, a mentor, a model for young teachers, a friend as those young teachers grew older. Vince was humorous, serious, dedicated, Christian.

I'm saddened to learn of Mr. Donohue's passing. He was an inspiring teacher to us in Bonner Class of 1977, and he was present when my grandmother's Funeral Mass was done in 1982. Rest in Peace!

His celebrity status is well known. I'll also remember...

My condolences. Vince was my favorite teacher at Bonner, 1962-63. I know I was in his Algebra 2 class, and I may also have been in his Geometry class. I recall listening to the Revelers. I also remember Helene before she got married. My parents, Jack & Mary, were close friends with Helene's family. We may even be distant cousins. I have memories of swimming with Helene at Drexel Swim Club. I only learned of this because I'm currently a member at Idle Hour Tennis Club. I'm sorry for...
