Robert P. Donnellan

It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Robert (Bob) Donnellan, 59, of Weymouth, who passed away on July 6th. The eldest of five, Robert was raised in a close-knit and lively family in Dorchester. After attending St Mark’s grammar school and Don Bosco high school, Robert majored in engineering at Wentworth Institute of Technology. An integral part of the company, he worked for many years at Accutemp Engineering as VP of construction, developing bonds that would last a lifetime.

Robert’s sense of humor was unmatched, lighting up every room he entered. Never without words, his outrageous, yet true, stories entertained all who listened. His love of storytelling near equaled his love of boating, friends at Wessagussett Yacht Club and deep attachment to his family in Ireland. Above all, his true commitment and devotion was to his wife Cindy and his precious daughters Katie and Molly. In having known and loved him, he has forever left an imprint on our hearts.

Beloved husband of Cynthia M. Donnellan of Weymouth, father of Molly Donnellan of Arlington,VA and Katherine (Katie) Donnellan of Weymouth. Devoted son of Thomas Donnellan and the late Nuala Donnellan, brother to Karen Donnellan and her husband Carl Potts of Quincy, Maureen Donnellan of Quincy, Brian Donnellan and his wife Catherine Booras of Middleton, Kathleen Wright and husband Matthew of Littleton. He is also survived by his many adoring nieces and nephews who are going to miss his stories.
