    My sincere condolences to Don's family on their loss but knowing that this tribute from his fellow forum members will demonstrate the high regard we all had for him

    Paul
    an excellent tribute to a man who achieved a long held desire to see his comrades for what he knew would be his last time as the disease which struck him down can only take so much stress and he knew that - but like the trooper he was - he still did it and we are left to mourn his passing knowing that he made a difference in this world and his family, while mourning, can rejoice in having him close for so long.

    AS we say in my Faith - "Sanquis Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam meam in vitam eternam. Amen"
    Tom.

    How sad, and how moving to see those pictures of him with his memories taken so recently

    I think one of the finest obituaries that I've read. No old soldier could wish for better. Thanks Paul.
