It is with great regret that I have to tell everybody this but LT (Don) passed away yesterday afternoon. Most of us know that he had a lengthy battle with leukemia. He had a seizure yesterday and there was nothing the Dr's could do for him. I just ask for everybody to keep his family in their prayers and thoughts. He was a mentor, father, husband and an overall great man. I learned a lot of things from him. We lost a great family member yesterday. I'm at a loss for words right now.
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

A great loss indeed. RIP LT.

Rest in peace Don. The next fish caught on Boulder will be released in your honor. You are missed.
-
My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. Rest in peace

Had an idea that was who you meant on FB farmer... Prayers and thoughts are sent! Hope he is up on a crappie pond somewhere in the sky catching pounders and looking over friends and family :tipup:

Wow! I am stunned right now. I am saddened by this news. Don was very instrumental in the development of the Wyoming site and I believe our first Mod. I am so sorry I never did get to meet him in person. He always supported (me), us with nothing but class. Tonight my heart is heavy, and I 'm filled with emotion. LT, Don if you can read this post God bless you sir. My sincere condolence to his family.

The fishing community has suffered a great loss. I am also saddened I never got to meet him in person. What a great guy with a great sense of humor and an upbeat personality. God bless you LT.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. A very sad loss for all us fisherman.

LT (Don) was a good friend and a fellow Moderator both here and on Iceshanty. he will be missed here at this computer monitor. here is a MFF & Iceshanty mini biography that I put together.LT joined Iceshanty on 12-17-2005. & MFF on 5-21-2007. his first Iceshanty post was on 12-18-2005 at 5:07pm.I first met him when he sent me a PM to complain about a trouble maker in the Wyoming thread.I took care of the problem and we were friends ever since.LT became a Moderator in 2008. over the years I have helped him deal with problems in the Wyoming thread.when the thread became to big to handle, LT told Scott he needed help and he recommended Mountain Man to be a Mod. next he put in a good word for Wyofarmer.both of these guys have a legacy to follow but I know they are up to the challenge. the Wyoming thread is in good hands.When LT became a Global Moderator he patrolled the whole site like he did as a cop in New Orleans. Sadly , he passed away on June 3,2012. his final challenge was just to much to handle. RIP my friend. You will be missed.(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi149.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs76%2Fhimo1123%2FLT2.jpg&hash=fac5ecc44730cc532e46c08d602b66a8)

I'm really going to miss Don. Going to miss the long hunting and fishing conversations we had in his man-cave, surrounded by all his beloved Saints paraphernalia, rods, firearms and the drake mallard that hung from the ceiling. I'll even miss the phone calls alerting me of issues on the site that needed immediate attention. Don really cared about the members here and seemed to fret endlessly about the best way to deal with situations and run things in order to keep this an enjoyable environment for everyone.
-
Sorry to hear this. Prayers for his family and friends. RIP
-
Very sad. Rest in peace brother.

may God be with his family...

Unfortunatly I never got to meet Lt. but he struck me from the limited contact I had, as a man that lead from the front. May God bless you and your family Don.

Don and I met only once but he treated me with respect and as if I had known him for many years. We shared a service as Police Officers and I respected his service then and even more now. May god bless his wife with peace and all those that he touched. He will be missed.

Wow.....I've been pretty busy this summer and haven't been on MFF for the last couple months, and just seen this. :(
I never personally met Don. But, chatted with him on here and Iceshanty frequently. And even though I never got to meet the man in person, I know he was of top notch character and a very good man. And I know many of you here knew him personally and as some of you have mentioned, I am correct on my belief. I will very sadly miss the conversations with him. :(
Reguardless, he will always be a big part of the MFF and Iceshanty community.
You will never be forgotten, Don...and I'm sure you might be smilin down on me from time to time when I'm reelin in a big Lake Ontario trout or king salmon!
I'm really caught for words at the moment.
But, I would like to say God bless to his family, and so sorry for your loss. :(
Rest in peace, Don. :'( :'( :'(

RIP :(

So sorry to hear of another loss from our community,may God bless Don and his family.
