Sorry to hear this, John was a great guy
I am heartbroken to hear of Johns passing. I met John around 16 years ago when he’s started working at Dolans. We shared many hours working together but it never seemed like work when John was there. I feel very fortunate to have known John. When the door opened in the morning and John walked in, I knew it was going to be a great day. God be good to him.
There was no better Uncle in the world. Through ups and downs no matter what, you were always there. The first one to walk through the door at 127. We will miss your smiling face, infectious laugh and treasured presence. Thank you for being you and sharing your life with us. You will be forever missed and loved ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Love, Kara, Sean , Molly, Lauren and Jared. ❤️
Mary Doll & Patrick,

Dear Mary…So so sorry to hear about John’s passing! He was such a great guy & so full of fun! Our payers & thoughts are with you & the entire McDonough Family during this most difficult time! Our Deepest Sympathy, Carol & Jim Conlon🙏
Mary and family, so sorry for your loss. Johnny and Brian go back to the streets of Lower Mills in Dot and St.Gregory’s. A visit with mother Mae Mc Donough at Johnny’s house on Ellison Ave in the 1950s would cheer you up. Despite the many setbacks, Johnny kept his personal warmth and religious faith – the Kingstons and Mc Donoughs have unshakable Dorchester bonds. Kathy and I will also remember meeting Johnny and Mary at some social events and catching up. We’ll include him In the Prayers of the Faithful at Sunday Mass.

Dear Mrs. McDonough, Patrick, and family,
I was shocked and very saddened to hear that Mr. McDonough had passed away. I’m grateful for having the chance to meet him through Stonehill and the scholarship in Matt’s memory. He was very dedicated to his family and I hope that you will be comforted when remembering his love and enthusiastic support for everyone. I am praying for you all during this very difficult time.
