His passing was mourned byfamily and friends here in Hawaii and on the mainland. Hetouched so many people with his joyous smile and generousmanner that tributes to him still continue to come in to theunion office each day.Donovan’s career in the film industry began over 25 yearsago when he first began working in Craft Service. Over theyears, he built that department into a vital part of nearly everyHawaii film set. His care and dedication to his craft helpedcountless technicians get through the long days and nightsof filming in every possible type of location. From dense junglesto rocky cliffs to brutally hot beaches, Donovan’s crewsbrought food, drinks and encouragement to weary film workers.He arrived at the set before everyone else and left longafter wrap was called - but no one ever heard him complain.One of my favorite memories of Donovan was a time whenwe were filming outside at 3:00 a.m. on a cold rainy night. Everyonewas wet, cranky and miserable as we waited impatiently for“one more take.” Then we looked up as Donovan, wearing a brilliantred Aloha shirt and a huge smile, led his crew onto the setcarrying cups of steaming hot soup and warm slices of bread.Immediately, the whole atmosphere changed and we gatheredaround him, feeling like we were members of a family cominghome. That was the magic he created.In 2004, following the union’s period of Trusteeship, Donovandecided to run for election as Local 665’s Business Representative.When he was elected, he undertook the job withthe same energy and enthusiasm he brought to every project.He felt that the union was in need of “a little Aloha” to healthe wounds of the past - and he knew just how to do that. Heworked ... he listened ... he discussed ... he learned ... and hefed everyone. He brought a healing attitude to the local andthe members responded by reelecting him unanimously whenhe ran unopposed in both 2007 and 2010.When he learned that he might not be able to completehis term of office, he began to make preparations so that wecould all go forward - if we had to - without him. He workedto benefit the local in every possible way and he tasked us allwith continuing his work. He knew that strength comes fromunity - unity with family, with friends, with all those who supportone another. He brought us together and, even when wedisagree, we will try to live up to the standard he set for us.We will miss you, Donovan.– Kay Carter46 O official BulletinSecond Quarter 2011 47
