He leaves behind his wife, Jo Suk-ying Chow-Guidoboni; his son, Donald Hunter Guidoboni; and his daughters, Erica, Jessica and Kyla Guidoboni.
Donald was born on October 9, 1957, in Middleboro, MA to Donald Weston and Mary Eldridge Guidoboni. He grew up in a loving family with three sisters. In high school, he excelled in running and attended a competition running up Mount Washington at age 16. His distinction in running earned him a scholarship to attend the University of Massachusetts, Lowell where he graduated with a degree in Psychology in 1979. Donald later went on to earn his MBA degree from UML in 1995.
Donald was a driven and brilliant professional with a passion for golf. He will be remembered as a beloved husband, dedicated father, caring individual and accomplished real estate developer with a great sense of humor. His battle against cancer gave us all such courage and reminded us of the preciousness of life. He remained strong and devoted to his family to the end.
