My heartfelt condolences to Don's family. He loved you all so much and I thank you so much for sharing him with others of us on the online lung cancer support boards and lists. He reached out to hundreds of us over the past few years, providing both strength and support and I will never every forget him. He was not just a good man, but a great one. Carole Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.--George Carlin

I would like for Don's family to know that I am one of the people that Don talked to online (Lung Cancer Support Community about treatment options that he had learned about. I followed his advice (to take adjuvant chemo). He was a very strong and very knowledgeable person. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

For many of us at the Lung Cancer Support Community, Don was one of the first people we "met" when we joined the group. He was always willing to share his knowledge, experience and support. We will miss him. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
