Don slipped quietly away from us at 11:36pm Tuesday night at his home in Monarch Beach, California.  Trudy was at his side.  They celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary on February 28.

Don had fought a valiant battle against chronic lymphocytic leukemia since 1992, and had recently been treated for lymphoma.   He was suffering from a lung infection, but was not hospitalized and his death came as a shock.  Trudy said he died peacefully.

A memorial service with family, friends and fans will be held at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.

I'm sure I speak for all Don's friends and fans as we share our sorrow.  May God hold his precious family: wife Trudy, daughter Heidi, son Jeff and their families close in His loving embrace.
