I recently heard of Jeff's passing but the memorial services had already passed and I wanted to express my sympathy to Jeff's family and the rest of his friends. Jeff's and my friendship goes back to the days we were in high school together. I was always thankful that he introduced me to down hill skiing and trips to Martha's Vineyard through the explorer scouts. His sense of humor helped us all at times to put a smile on our faces during our growing years. I had always thought there would be another time we would meet up and share more of our life's stories. Now I am saddened to learn that that time has passed; still I will keep my memories of Jeff with me.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. Regretfully I did not hear about it until after the services. I send my deepest condolences to Connie, Kevin and Jamie, and all of Jeff's extended family. Jeff was a long lifetime good friend from our earliest days in Boy Scouts, right up to the present. We shared many good times over several decades. I will certainly miss this long time friend. With sympathy, sincerely Jack Garceau

My deepest condolences on your loss. I grew up just down the road from the Donahue's and rode the bus with Kevin and Jaime, although I do remember Jeff as well. Wishing you all comfort and peace during this most difficult time.

I am deeply saddened to hear of my friend Jeff Donahue's passing. I'm sorry to have learned much to late to attend. My condolences to his children and his family. The Silver Fox was a great mentor to me in the auto industry. I will miss his quick wit and sense of humor. He was full of life and guidance which I appreciated.

RIP Mr. D.

Dear Connie, I am praying for you and your family. Mary would keep me informed about your boys over the years. Remember the Eagle Scout Mother has her own pin of honor. Remain strong and if ever in need, hold onto those wings! God bless you, always.

I'm so sorry to read of Jeff's passing. I knew him from going to school in Lebanon, and also as Lenny's cousin. The last time I saw Jeff was at JC Penney in Manchester two Christmas seasons ago. He seemed to be doing well and spoke of his Mom and Lenny's Mom, whom I knew. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of his family.

My condolences to the Donahue family on their loss.

I’ve known Jeff for over forty years. We both worked in the same industry and had a lot of good times together over the years. We were still in contact with each other and would speak a couple times a week. Going to miss those talks..

RIP Jeff

It was with shock, a heavy heart, and profound sadness when I received the call on my dear friend's passing. My deepest condolences go out to Connie, Kelly Lynn and Andrew, Timothy, Kevin, Jamie and Darla, and Kathy. There were millions of drinks shared, billions of laughs and stories detailed, and trillions of memories indelibly etched in my soul, and I thank you all who caroused with Jeff and me. The world will be lacking in its laughter without him. Until we meet, again, my friend, we know that "nothing gold can stay."

I was with Jeff at Eastern in the early 70's; we graduated together. I remember him fondly, his humanity and his fine and wacky sense of humor. He poured a good drink at the bar at Willi Bowl. And in the years since those days I wondered occasionally where he was, how he was, what he was up to. I should have acted on those thoughts. I was sorry to read of his death. Please accept my sympathies.
