I noticed it has been a while since seeing usual poster "Doneldon" and it got me to wondering as I think he accumulated the most posts of anyone here I have come across so far.  I sent him a PM some time ago asking if everything was alright and received no reply, so I did some research this morning and this is sadly, what I found.  Rest in peace Doc, you'll be missed!

"-- D" will be missed, here and on other forums. We helped each other many times since joining here back in 2007.

Well, damn. This isn't good news at all. D and I had our differences at times, but I agree that he was a definite asset to this site and will be missed.

Sad to hear as I am only 66. He was way to young to go.
Notice how they mentioned he had hobbies, but did not mention model railroading.
I would not be surprised if who wrote the obituary, was not too happy of his choice, of what some consider children's toys.

I may be wrong as it is my opinion though.

Doneldon was a fellow Navy Man and Minnesotan.  I always enjoyed his correspondence. Miss ya D--

Jon, I don't recall sending that tender to Minnesota, maybe I am mistaken,  but I recall you living in Maryland. And Donaldon will be missed, he was another great asset to this forum and the hobby.

I am sorry to hear that, also. He was such a wealth of knowledge.
Feel like a Mogul.

Hate to bring bad news back up but with my absence I could not reply.
So sorry to hear of this as it is yet another internet friend gone and will be missed. My condolences to his family.
