ALBANY — Daniel G. Donohue Jr., 86, joined his wife on February 17, 2019. Born in Albany on November 16, 1932, he was the son of Daniel G. Donohue Sr. and Elizabeth (Brighton) Donohue. He was predecease­d by his wife, Lillian "Mollie" Donohue in 2017 after nearly 65 years of marriage. Dan and Mollie settled in Albany and together raised two children, Donna Gene Donohue Chillemi and Daniel George Donohue III.

Dan spent his lifelong career working for the New York Army National Guard being one of the first in the state reaching the rank of CW4. He was a widely respected leader known as Chief to his team. He was a member of the Joseph E. Zaloga American Legion Post #1520 and Guilderlan­d Elks Lodge No. 2480.

Together with his wife they often went out to eat, to the movies and on vacations to Cape Cod and Canada, where his mother was from. He spent much time at many sports events supporting their children, grandchild­ren and great-grandchild­ren. Dan was very selfless giving to his family before himself numerous times. He will fondly be remembered answering the "darn" phone with a "L-low."

Dan is survived by his daughter Donna (Michael Mccarthy) of Albany; his son Daniel and daughter-inlaw Mare Donohue of Berne; his grandchild­ren, Sebastian "Seb" Chillemi II (Claudine) and their children, Sebby and Breanna
