DONNA MARIE GOLDSCHMIDT LUCAS
November 7, 1955 - October 10, 2022
AT PRESENT, VIDEO WATCHDOG IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING OR ABLE TO FILL PHYSICAL BACK ISSUE ORDERS. I BELIEVE THE DIGITAL EDITION SALES ARE AUTOMATED AND MAY CONTINUE. I WILL RETRACT THIS STATEMENT IF IT IS FOUND TO BE UNTRUE.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND I AM SIMPLY NOT PREPARED TO HANDLE ANYTHING BEYOND AUTOMATIC TRANSACTIONS AT THIS POINT.
VIDEO WATCHBLOG WILL CONTINUE AS SOON AS I AM ABLE TO RETURN TO MY WRITING.
AS YOU KNOW, DONNA WAS ONE OF A KIND - IRREPLACEABLE. SHE AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR MANY YEARS OF LOYAL ATTENTION AND ENTHUSIASM, AND THE LIFE YOU MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO SHARE FOR SO LONG.
- Tim Lucas
My love of 48 years, the designer of MARIO BAVA ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK, and the publisher and art director of every VIDEO WATCHDOG publication, Donna Lucas unexpectedly passed away Monday morning at Mercy Health - Anderson Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, becoming unresponsive during a routine test in preparation for later heart valve surgery. She served as the office manager to GENII Magazine for the last few years of her life. She is survived by two brothers and four sisters, their respective spouses, children and grandchildren and a vast number of people who loved her from up close and afar - none closer than me.
We hoped to correct her heart problem and keep this thing running for at least another twenty years, but she has been taken from us. Our talents dovetailed perfectly, but I do not have her gifts, so necessary to keep this website functioning. Do check back occasionally to see if our status has changed.
Please forgive this sudden and unhappy ending to our story, but if you know anything about us at all, you know it was one of the most beautiful ever told.
