A couple weeks ago I received a phone call from Don's son that he had passed away on December 4th, 2022. I've known Don since 2013 and my heart literally broke that day... losing such a dear friend. I am gutted that I didn't know of his passing and wasn't able to attend his funeral. He was such a good man with a kind soul... who lived a good and happy life. When my Dad passed away in 2017... he came to the funeral and that meant a lot to me. He would also bring flowers to my Dad's grave every time he was in the neighborhood.
I've know a lot of car enthusiast, and Don stands out amongst them. He would always email articles every single week about NSX's or all sorts of other cars. In a sea of exotic cars, he was always so very proud of his "96 red NSX who he named "Dragon Lady". Even at 80+yo... he would not back down to anyone who would want to have a go. He would buy the hotwheels NSX's and bring them to events and give them out to kids and allow them to sit in his car. I will truly miss him and never forget what his friendship meant to me.
Thank you Neal "alum04org" for suggesting I post this news outside of the St. Louis ownership forum. Don loved this site and I am sure quite a few of you have met him on Prime in one of the forums.
Thanks for reading and hope you all take care and stay safe.
Regards,
Tyler
