Dear Donahue Family;
I was both deeply shocked and saddened to hear this morning of John's passing.
I was very fortunate to have worked with John for several years at LBFH/Boyle.
I also was fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend a NACSAR race at Daytona with John, his wonderful wife Kathleen and his close friends Lisa and Dave. He really 'loved' going to the races and enjoying all the excitement.
I too have lost family members at John's young age and truly understand your dismay and grief.
We must believe that John has gone to a better place and know that he will never be forgotten.
My most sincere condolences to the entire Donahue family, I'm sure he will be missed by many.
John, say hello to Dale Sr. for me, green, green, green.

My deepest condolences go out to the entire Donahue family (including pets). I was fortunate enough to have been hired by John a few years ago and had the opportunity to work, laugh and learn side by side with him. His memories will be forever cherished along with many of his phylosophies that reside within me. You are so missed.

Dear family and friends,
I was fortunate enough to work with John a little bit at LBFH/Boyle. He was a great man, who touched many lives, and will be remembered by all. His vast knowledge and enthusiastic attitude were very helpful and comforting to me, as a young engineer. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

To John's Family,
I owe my career to John as I got my internship at LBFH through him back when I was in college. This evetually led to my hiring once I graduated. I always looked up to John and he always stopped to talk to me everytime I saw him in the office to make sure everything was going well for me at LBFH/Boyle. I will miss seeing him everyday in the office, as he always had a smile on his face. God Bless.
