Not sure what to say?

I want to thank the universe for sharing such an amazing man with us! I am sad that he is gone but his teachings will live on forever in our hearts. We love you Bill!!!

Just wanted to say, Bill changed my wife Angela and my life in so many way!! Thank You Bill! We miss you already!!!!

I am so sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. He was a fixture down at the YMCA where we would have great talks about sports and fitness. A truly wonderful man with a wealth of knowledge. I will miss our talks. Rest easy Jim and thank you.

Mr. Donahue was a Great! Kind loving person. He was my Home room teacher at John J Lynch school and years later a friend. He and i talked New England Sports every time we seen each other. It's hard for me to talk about a kind loving person as Mr. Donahue didn't have a bad thought or bone in his body. How lucky i was to have him come in to my life as a kind friend. I miss talking to him... I miss seen him walking by my window with his Red sox/Celtics Jacket on. He is now back home. Thank...

Jim was such a great guy. i enjoyed our many talks over the years and always came away having learned something. His knowledge of the faith was incredible. I was so happy to have shared in bible study and the Alpha program with him, I fondly remember our trips to Worcester together for Pro-life activities always a fun day. God Bless you Jim

Donahue Family Members, I was sorry to read of Bill's sudden passing. Although it has been awhile since last we spoke Bill was a dedicated teacher for the HPS during my time as Superintendent. He was a professional in every sense of the word and served during some of the major transitions in the system's history. He has impacted the life of many students . His commitment is much appreciated. MY thoughts are with you during your time of loss
