Mr Donato was a businessman. He was the father of 5 year old twins a son and daughter and the husband of Jacqueline . AL (Mr Donato) was the owner of Texaco Service Station in West Paterson NJ as well as the owner of a Horse Barn stables and several horses in addition to being the owner of his own home. By age 35 the time of his untimely death he was already a very successful businessman having owned yet another Service Station. He was also an experienced mechanic and did snow plowing and towing in addition to his other businesses. He was a Veteran of the war in Korea having entered just out of High School. Although he passed at a tragic early age Al was a very well respected and loved man. He was very kind and giving towards others. He passed with such a promising full life still ahead of him in addition to all of his extreme accomplishments that he had already achieved. He will always be remembered as a bright shooting star....lighting everyones lives that he touched and yet with us only briefly. He is sadly missed each day by his family,his widow, Jacqueline, who is by far not the same woman my Dad knew when he passed. His Grandchildren ,who have learned much about the GrandDad they never had the joy of knowing....and many friends. Yet he remains alive in thier hearts and ..most dearly ..in the heart of the daughter he left behind..Jacqueline. He now has two Grandchildren..by his daughter. I miss you and love you daddy not a day goes by that I dont think of you. Someday we will meet again until then all I can do is dream...
Cause of Death : Killed in car crash he was the Passenger.
