John A. Donohue, age 64 of Wayne, died peacefully at home on Wednesday, September 29, 2010. His beloved wife Cathleen had been caring for him at home while he fought a courageous battle with cancer. She was at his bedside when he passed.
“Jack” as he was known to almost everyone, retired from BMW of North America in 2008 as their Computer Systems Supervisor. His career spanned twenty seven years with BMW and enjoyed it greatly.
He was born in Paterson and grew up in Glen Rock. He graduated from Glen Rock High School with the class of 1964. Soon thereafter he served in the U.S. Army for two years, having been stationed in several locations throughout Europe and Stateside. He was honorably discharged from the Army in 1969.
Jack was a good, happy person. In fact, that’s what attracted Cathleen to him. They had met through mutual friends and fell for each other right away. They were married in 1972 at St. Catharine’s in Glen Rock and subsequently honeymooned in Acapulco, Mexico. Together they enjoyed thirty seven years like two peas in a pod. They completed each other and were always happiest when they were together.
Jack is survived by his loving wife Cathleen (nee Dorgan) of Wayne, his brother Michael Donohue of Hawthorne, NJ, his two sister-in-laws; Joanne Eberhart and her husband Steve of Florida, and Patricia Painter and her husband Kevin of North Carolina, and his nieces and nephews; J.P., Tom, and Dan Eberhart of Florida, Brian Maguire of Fairlawn, Kevin Maguire and his wife Maureen of Ridgewood, John Maguire and his fiancé Samantha of Lyndhurst, and Laura, Michael, and Kristie Painter all of North Carolina. He was predeceased by his parents; Thomas and Mary Donohue, his four year old brother Patrick, and his sister Sheila Maguire of Fairlawn, as well as his two dear cats; Cartier and Gucci.
As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made in Jack’s memory to Hospice of New Jersey, 400 Broad Acres Dr., 4th floor, Bloomfield, NJ 07003.
