Don, today is Veteran's Day. I'll think of you....that tall Marine I met so many years ago.

We should all remember, that among the many things you were, you were a Marine. You served four years, and you went to Vietnam. It was part of you.

So...on this Veteran's Day, we think of you, we thank you, and we're proud of you....that tall Marine.

With love,
Susan

Don, thank you for being in my life, and in my heart, for 10 wonderful years! I miss you terribly

Don, I'd hoped someday we would get together again for lunch, dinner, or a drink - or just a long talk. So many things I wanted to say to you. I can't believe you're gone.

Thanks for sharing part of your life with me. You'll always be in my heart and in my thoughts.

Take care up there, enjoy the peace, but have fun!

I'll miss you. I hope someday we'll have a chance to have that long talk - and maybe a drink or two!

My love always,
Susan

Don and I met and quickly became friends 25 plus years ago when he was married. 

One of his favorite quotes that he and I would tease one another about, is "Be Like a Sponge" 

He said one time during a conversation, to absorb what you are reading or learning like a sponge. I liked that thought, and it became a joke. 

Don helped me pick out my first "new" computer, and taught me how to use it. 

I would keep asking him http what? He would get a big smile, shake his head and repeat again http:// 

Our last quality time together was a recent trip to the Ventura Fairgrounds Swap Meet, and a beer at the Crown Plaza Hotel. 

We always think, "I should have spent some more quality time with my friend or family member" 

To that I will shake my head and frown, it is always a sad surprise when they leave unexpectedly. 

Don enjoyed his social life, and had many friends.  He was very special to many people, and will be missed very much.

Thank you, Don.  You were a great man who gave me chances to learn and expand my knowledge.  I miss you terribly...your insights, your humor, and your military turns around the office.  Rest In Peace, Don.

Don Man- your smile and giggles will be missed! Rest in Peace, Don!

Rest in Peace Don.  Will miss our chats about nothing in particular and everything in general.  Was always an interesting conversation!
Cheers my friend!  Rest in Peace!
