Richard Donohue Obituary
Rich was born in Cold Spring Harbor, NY on October 14, 1945. Following his time in Vietnam, Rich roamed the western US, skiing, hiking, and enjoying peaceful sunsets. Rich worked tirelessly to support his children's education and travel endeavors, and as a family they enjoyed many road trips to Canada, Mexico, and around the West.
Rich will always be remembered for his kind, gentle demeanor; his generosity and caring; his quick wit and quiet sense of humor; and his sparkly blue eyes.
He is survived by his wife Leslie of 46 years, son Richard, daughter Sarah (Joss), grandson Everett, and his sister Donna.
