Not sure what to say?

Don may be gone but not forgotten. Jack Stuckey and I were together a few weeks ago and were sharing funny Don DeBra stories and we have many. At the Buckhead Boys annual dinner others shared their stories with me. Great influence on me and my girls. Bill Whaley

Dee, Nancy and I were so sorry to learn about Don's death in the URMC alumni magazine. As fellows, we learned and laughed together. It was a great two years. I've never forgotten the strength of his intellect and the clarity of his arguments. After joining the faculty at Rochester, I referred Don a few patients who had moved to Atlanta, but have no idea if they followed through.

Dee, again we are so sorry to learn of your loss. Take care and be well!

Don was one of my closest and dearest friends and we had many great times together in high school and college.
With Don at Harvard and me at Dartmouth we were together often and we did a few things we wouldn't want our mothers to know about but nothing that would even make face book today.
I like to think that I helped divert Don from teaching Physics to healing people because he did such a great jog at it.
Don was much smarter than I but couldn't BS as well and I always went to him...

Don will always be remembered for his friendliness and his kindness. He helped make my year at North Fulton(1957-1958) a wonderful experience. My thoughts go to his family at this difficult time.

Saddened to hear of the death of such an
outstanding classmate of the '58 class of
North Fulton. So many memories,so little time to enjoy them.

We have lost one of the "Good Guys". But, as my Grandmother Cantrell always told me, "The Lord needs good people in Heaven also".

Don was one of our intellectuals at North Fulton. He certainly used his God given talents. I am impressed by his courage, serving in Viet


Nam and his heroic battle with Parkensons, which I witnessed at the 50th reunion. May he rest in peace. Tom Garden

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

It's always very emotional and difficult when we loose a loved one in death,especially when they're gone all too soon.My heart and prayers go out to the family.Thankfully we have GOD's promise to do away with death it will be brought to nothing.1 Corinthians 15:26
