Donald Alan Dischner

To my favorite movie theatre customer, I'll miss you sir

Just found out the sad news of Don's passing and quickly thought back to the many softball games at the OC Register and the infectious grin that always creased Don's face. You never had a bad day when Don was around and the world is a sadder place without him. My condolences go out to his family.

I knew Donald in elementry and jr. high school. To the Dishner family, I'm so sorry for your lost. Rest in Peace friend.

I am writing this as I reminisce about all the fun times we had shared on the Metro Link. Every day I looked forward to seeing Mr. Dish and his jolly smile. When I had a bad day at work, I could always count on Don to Cheer me up with this his witty comments, funny jokes, and of course the card games. We could always count on Don to bring the deck of cards!

He was Majestic and I feel very honored to have known him for the 3-4 years I took the train with him. There was one time we...

I have noticed since Don's Death, of how many different people Don touch in so many different places and in so many different ways. I do not think I will ever get over him being out of my life as I found in so many others feeling the same way as I do. He was more then the best brother that could be.

I met Don in 1998, my first year with the LAT. I'll always remember his sense of humour and kindness. I'll miss you, Disch!

Rest in Peace from a Disney friend.

I'm writing this, sitting across from an empty seat where you should be. Between, an empty table where there should be a card game. Hearing only the sounds of the train, waiting for you to chime in with some useless trivia, a theme song, or a laugh. The ride home has never felt so long.

I knew you for a brief time, only a couple years. But I wouldn't pass up knowing you at all, even if it meant being saved from the sadness I feel now to have lost you.

Everyday I looked...

I think today it finally hit me... No more of that witty "I know something you don't know" grin, and no more silly birthday songs in my voicemail, I will save the last one forever. I'm so glad I got to have you in my life
