I'm walking along the shoreline on a golfcourse looking for my bad tee shot.So this guy comes out from the next fairway crossing my path. Can you believe,I thought I recognized his gait. Sheepishly I cupped my mouth and yelled 'HEY GABOR'! He bent over,pulled his ball out of two inches of water and started walking away. Suddenly he stopped,turned toward me and yelled back"HEY NOTSI"....We had'nt seen each other in 15 yrs! We laughed all the way to the 19th hole and O ya we both took a mulligan! We're all gonna miss you Don,wings2u,fred

I have found inspiration watching you deal with your health issues. You have always shown your "warrior" spirit. I will remember your humor and lightness; especially when you were run-down. And you did it your way! You will be missed but you and your stories are enteral. Rest well my friend!

You were blessed with the loving support of your Sheri, Jerry and children.

Your friend, Rudy Tudjen

Don - you were my AGO brother for a lot of years. Lots of memories when I think of you. Many years between visits but it didn't seem that way when we spoke. My best to your family and your AGO family in our time of sadness. See you around - Ray
