As I have heard before:
"They are not gone, just gone on ahead"

I am sorry for your loss, especially during this time of year.

Thank you for keeping him busy!
his daughter, carol
My condolences to you and your family. Your father always provided good/useful information and stood out to me as one of the more helpful members in the Mileage Run forum. His presence will certainly be missed.

Carol,

My condolences on the loss of your father, Don. Oddly, a couple of days ago, I found myself looking back on threads I had started over the years. In one thread, your father was instrumental in helping me plan my first-ever MR during AA's infamous TEQM promo. He was an invaluable member to this community, and I will miss his insight and savvy.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Take care,

uxb

My condolences on your loss.
I always enjoyed seeing his 'moniker' and wondered how
He chose it.
Remember what I was told when my Family member passed away
From the same affliction..

He is airborne, just is over the horizon...
