Don, my BEST friend, you're gone one month and I am sure you know how many times during this young hockey season and almost completed baseball season that I have reached for the phone to call you to complain, talk, share a laugh and realize with the receiver in my hand that I can't... I miss you buddy and am not ashamed to say "I love you". Rest in peace my dear friend.

Well Daddy. It's now been a month. This has not been easy for me but if you're watching you know that already. I miss you more than I can express in words. Baseball season will never be the same without you. I love you, Daddy.

What I will miss most about you my friend is your ability to light up a room with just a smile, your charm, wit, laughter or a simple song. It was truly an honor and a pleasure to have known you. Thanks for the memories.

I am so grateful for the time you shared in my life. I miss your stories and most definately your songs (especially the one you wrote for the demise of the ER x-ray machine - I think you said it was on it's way to Bosnia)! I miss you Big Daddy.

I worked with Don at HP for many years. My husband and I also bowled with him on the HP league and we golfed together in the HP tornaments. Don was so serious about his sports. He would get so mad at himself if he wasn't doing as good as he thought he should. Well, that just opened a door for me to needle him and to also be ready to run for the hills. Don would laugh about it later; but, oh boy, I must have known which buttons to push. But that was our relationship. He always got me back. Back in the old HP days we had a lot of great fun and Don was a major part of it. We would all get to laughing so hard, that half the time we couldn't catch our breath or we would have tears in our eyes. And then those stories would come up over and over and we'd laugh ourselves silly again. So, the constant theme that I keep hearing about our freind, Don, is that he was an extremely nice guy, loved to laugh and loved to make others laugh, which he did very well. When I hear the Beatles sing now, I look towards Heaven and say hello each time to my freing Don.

Miss you, Don. I'm very lucky we ended up in the same Radiology class, and then got to work together. The posthumous email made me cry, but was so you. See you again one day.
