Austin Donnelly: our founder, leader, our mentor, our dear friend...
His smile will always be remembered!
His smile will always be remembered!
We shared the news on the tremendous loss of Austin J. Donnelly, President and Founder and most of all, friend of the RI ADDult Support Group. The news was such a heartbreaking blow to our group and all who knew him.
Austin’s giving heart and longing for a safe and “family-like” atmosphere for people to come and share their trials and tribulations, successes and coping, and living with ADD/ADHD, came into being in 1993. Since then thousands of people have come to our meetings and was welcomed with his warm smile, open arms, and more encouragement than anyone could hope for.
We all learn something each time we meet, from groundbreaking news and information, those strides the tribulations, but most of all we learn from each other. With his leadership, his guidance, his humor, his smile, his giant heart... we take this moment to say think you, Austin, for being our friend!
Dedications to Austin, will be added, filled with thanks, stories and memories, of this truly giving man. We hope you will visit often to read how much he meant to us all.
