Dear David, I think of the loss of your brother every time I pass by the Port as I am going to Bayonne. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope the good times you had together still bring a smile to your face. It does not get any easier as time passes but know you are thought of during this anniversary of your loss. Regards to you and your family.

Don was my room mate, co-worker, and good friend, in the Marine Corps. I stumbled on this news, while looking up names of friends from the service. He really was one of the good guys. My condolences, to his family.
