Robert Donah Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 4, 2006.
MOOERS — Robert L. Donah, 71, of Mooers, died Saturday, Dec. 2, 2006, at the CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh.

Born in Chazy on June 1, 1935, he was the son of Earl and Rita (Mousseau) Donah.

Rob served in the Army during the Korean War from 1957-1960.

He was a supervisor at Harris Graphics in Champlain for 24 years and retired in 1998 as a supervisor at Velan Valve in Williston, Vt.

Bob was very handy — if it was broke, he could fix it. He enjoyed square dancing, riding snowmobiles, traveling to Las Vegas to play the slot machines, boating, fishing, hunting, country music, spending time with his grandchildren and friends and family.

Survivors include his companion, Delorise "Tootie" Kamins, of Mooers; a son, Randy Donah and his fiancée, Tammy Mangine, of Coopersville; a daughter and son-in-law, Michelle and Douglas Dann, of Parish; three brothers, Richard Donah and his wife, Judy, of Gansevoort, Gary Donah of Tampa, Fla., and Al Donah of Fort Myers, Fla.; two sisters, Priscilla and her husband, Francis Menard, and Joanne Donah, both of Mooers Forks; two grandchildren, Martin and Joseph Dann, of Parish; and his friend and former wife, Teotis Mary Donah, of Champlain.

His parents and a sister, Sandra Gross, died before him.

Calling hours will be Tuesday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. from the E.F. Drown Funeral Service in Mooers. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Wednesday from St. Joseph's Church in Mooers. Entombment will follow at Whispering Maples Memorial Gardens in Ellenburg Depot.

Memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or to the American Heart Association.

Although I did not now Mr. Donah personally, he must have been a good man to raise such a fine children as Michele and Randy. My deepest sympathies to his entire family.

Condolences to the family of Robert. He will surely be missed. Always had a laugh in him. Will miss the nice times we spent talking. Glad I got to speak to him before he passed on. Rest in peace buddy. Jim
