David P. Donohue NORFOLK - Retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. David P. Donohue passed away peacefully at home in the company of family on Oct. 31, 2010. Adm. Donohue served 40 years in the Navy and first called Hampton Roads home when he assumed command of Norfolk Naval Shipyard. From 1980 to 1983 he put into practice a lifetime of preparation to lead the shipyard to excellence through the efforts of the fine working men and women of Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Adm. Donohue regarded the shipyard as a key element of our nation's defense strategy to overwhelm the Soviet Union's industrial capability and he ensured that each and every military and civilian member of the shipyard team understood they were involved in a noble calling. Adm. Donohue led the shipyard with profound belief in the dignity of work, the dignity of the individual, and respect for how tough shipyard work can be. His motivating principle was to ensure that men and women worked in an environment free of harassment and discrimination, were given proper tools and training, and were made fully aware of how each contributes to not only organizational goals, but also to the cause of our nation. Further, that each was able to achieve their best in his or her work and private life. Adm. Donohue was most proud of the shipyard when in 1982 it was awarded the Navy Unit Commendation (first shipyard ever to receive NUC), the FY 81/82 Productivity Excellence Award (best of eight shipyards), and the Chief of Naval Material Command EO/EEO award for FY 81/82 (Best Program of Large Industrial Activities). Upon leaving Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Adm. Donohue served on the staff of Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (director of Fleet Maintenance) until his retirement in January 1989. His military decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit and various campaign and unit awards. He is a past recipient of the Navy League's annual John Paul Jones Award for Inspirational Leadership and the Federally Employed Women Inc. annual Distinguished Service Award. Following retirement, Adm. Donohue was employed by the Jonathan Corporation of Norfolk where he successively held positions as engineering manager, Aircraft Carrier Phased Maintenance Program manager, and vice president and shipyard general manager. In 1995, he moved to Integrated Systems Analysts Inc. where he headed the Ship Systems Engineering Branch in Norfolk. He then moved to Thermal Spray and Machine, Inc., in 2002 as corporate technical director where he worked until his retirement earlier this year. Adm. Donohue maintained numerous professional affiliations, the most significant of which were American Society of Naval Engineers (52 years), Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (44 years) and American Society for Quality Control (27 years). Although never truly retired from professional life, Adm. Donohue enjoyed the company of family and friends as he and Dolores maintained an active social life with the Virginia Opera Association, Virginia Stage Company, and the other many cultural offerings of Hampton Roads. They also traveled to see family every year in Europe, Texas and North Carolina, and were devoted members of the Norfolk Yacht and Country Club. Adm. Donohue is survived by his beloved wife of 54 years, Dolores, and by five children and seven grandchildren. A memorial Mass will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Norfolk today, Nov. 6, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in his memory to his alma mater, Regis High School, Attn.: Development Office, 55 E. 84th St., New York, NY 10028. Regis High School offers a tuition-free Jesuit college preparatory education to Roman Catholic young men from the New York metropolitan area who demonstrate superior intellectual and leadership potential. Donations in Adm. Donohue's memory to any other charitable foundation are also most welcome. H.D. Oliver Funeral Home is handling arrangements.

John Q. Adams V SNOW HILL - John Quincy Adams V, a wonderful father, husband and brother passed away peacefully on the evening of Nov. 2, 2010 surrounded by family and friends. He was born Aug. 3, 1949. John's life was cut short by cancer, but the years he lived were rich and full. He walked the Great Wall of China, had dinner in Cuba with Castro, was entertained at the White House, traveled with the President of Mexico and played a mean Bocce ball game. John could never be still and was always ready to serve and get the job done. He was an active member of the Greene County Extension Service Advisory Board for 18 years, a 4-H leader and was recently named to the North Carolina Extension Advisory Board. He received the Governor's Award for community service and the North Carolina Outstanding Pork Producer Award. John served as a North Carolina Barbeque judge, one of the first to be appointed and recognized. Later, he became a certifier of new BBQ judges and was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the certification process for BBQ judges in Norfolk Carolina. John served on the board of the North Carolina Pork Council as a director for nearly 30 years and was president of the North Carolina Pork Council (1987). He was also a member of the North Carolina Ag Advancement Consortium (2002-present), U.S. Meat Export Federation Board of Directors (2002-2008), appointed by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture secretary to director of National Pork Board and a member of the North Carolina State University Ag Foundation Board (2010), Eastern Food Board of Directors (1994-1998). Calvary Memorial United Methodist Church was his church home and he loved everyone there and so appreciated the kindness shown to him during his illness. John loved North Carolina State University and graduated in 1971. He was an active member of the Greene County community since moving to Snow Hill in 1975 from Beaufort County. His many friends will remember him for being quick to laugh, smile and always ready to roast a pig on special occasions. He loved to cook bacon, or "pig candy," as he called it, for hours at the beach so everyone could have that cherished BLT on the porch overlooking the ocean! John was a loving husband, father and brother who is survived by his wife of 35 years, Patricia Lee Adams of Snow Hill and his daughters, Meredith Adams, executive chef of Eurasia Cafe in Mount Pleasant, S.C., and Lauren Adams, assistant professor at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. His nickname given by his girls was "Daddy Wild Root"; he would always sign each correspondence, "DWR." He is also survived by his sister, Barbara Adams of Washington, N.C., Gale Nicholson and husband Wally Maybery of Virginia Beach; brother, Harry Adams Jr. and wife Dianna of Washington, N.C.; a very special mother-in-law, Geraldine Lee of Four Oaks, N.C., whom he loved dearly, especially her fried chicken and cornbread; brother-in-law, Parlie Lee Jr. and wife Kim; sister-in-law, Michelle Lee Barbour and husband Michael of Four Oaks. Dear nieces and nephews include Brandon Barbour, Madison Barbour, Pamela Lee, Preston Lee and Stephanie Hale. He was preceded in death by his father, Harry Adams and mother, Margaret Wood Adams.
