Bruce G. Donohue peacefully passed away on Saturday July 25, 2026 in Saugerties, surrounded by the love of his family. He was 89 years old. Bruce was born on October 31, 1936 in Kingston to Gardiner and Isabelle (Boice) Donohue. He grew up in Eureka (known now as Grahamsville) until his family moved to Napanoch for the building of the Rondout Reservoir, where he graduated from Ellenville High School. He briefly worked as a lineman for Bell before starting the longest running family owned trucking business in Napanoch with his loving wife, Sandra. A few of Bruce’s passions were deer hunting, fishing, drinking coffee, camping, and sitting in the back yard with the love of his life. Bruce united in marriage to Sandra on October 5, 1958, embarking on a lifelong journey filled with love and cherished memories.

Bruce is predeceased by his wife, Sandra; parents, Gardiner and Isabelle; and sister, Joan (Donohue) Kortright. He is survived by his children, Bruce (Dina), Paul (Kareen), and Troy (Bertha); grandchildren, Bruce Jr. (Raychel), Gillian (Christian), Kassandra (Brandon), Paul (Tabetha), Ian, John (Amy), Patricia (Elisa), Isabelle, Leroy, and Merrill; and great-grandchildren, Darrin, Kelsi, Kira, Timothy (TJ), Mia, Bryson, and Comeron.

Bruce dedicated his time and heart to his community. He served as lifetime member of the Ellenville Rescue Squad, where he held a position of Lieutenant. He graciously served as an Honorary Life Member of the Napanoch Fire District. Bruce will forever be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering dedication to those he loved and his community.

A memorial visitation will be held at Loucks Funeral Home on Saturday, August 1 from 11AM-2PM.
