As many of you know, my father, Paul Donohue passed away suddenly on April 8, 2009. He was 83 years old. He had been ill since December (I was with them for a month at Christmas time). Dad was recovering, in good spirits and optimistic. Unfortunately, he died of a heart attack only days after returning home from rehab.
I am so grateful to the wonderful neighbors of the Great Outdoors for the out pouring of sympathy and help extended to my mom and our family. Also, I am truly thankful to family and friends who supported us during this difficult time.
We held a beautiful memorial in his honor. He is buried at The Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, FL.
Here are links to obituaries: Florida Today and New Jersey, Courier Post.
Dad had little interest in getting his photo taken...but I managed to get these two.
No, in this photo he doesn't have a "real" pierced ear. Dad decided to join in the fun when, during a National volleyball tournament, a group of Dad's got together and "sported" fake pierced earrings!
This was taken December '07. He loved his grandaughter...he was hoping to make it to see her graduate from high school next year.
Dad you will be missed...
