my dad jack Donahue doesn't attend funerals so I will speak for him. He also learned a lot from his brother bobby and he is indebted to him for giving him all his roofing experiences.I know he will greatly miss him. Rest in Peace brother.

He was one hell of a brother there is no other brother out there that could match him. When I was 16 he took me under his wing and taught a lot about life. He told me that life is very hard but if you do the right thing in life you will go a long ways and believe me he was right. If it was not for him working with me doing my years as a roofers helper I would not be were I'am today. Thank you BIG Brother as he would like me to call him, may he rest in peace.
Your loving Brother Phil

I have many good memories of my Big brother as he would say. Staring back when I was 5 years old and bitten by a dog. He and my sister would all ways stop by the hospital every day to visit with me and keep me company they were outstanding. Then when I was 17 he took me on as a helper with his roofing company and boy was he one hell of a boss but he was always fair to me. He taught me a lot about life and how to make it in the world.
I worked with him until I was 22 and fell off of a roof and broke my back. Doing the month I was in the hospital he came by every day to visit with me and keep my spirits up an boy did he. Again he was one hell of a brother may God bless you and look over you the rest of you life. Love you brother.

We worked together for 34 years we had our problems from time to time as all siblings do, but over all we got along good. He was a loving brother. He always helped me when needed gave me good information, very intelligent about worldly matters. We will surely miss you. Bobby go with God and rest in peace! Jerry & Dottie Donahue
