Knowing Don for nearly 10 years, I am completely shocked by this. We were making plans to get together after our drunken cigar smoking trek around NYC. During that trip we each bought a watch so periodically I'd get a random text that said "what time ya got?" And everytime I'd look at the watch I'd think of that day.

Don was an interesting guy with tremendous knowledge about a ton of things outside cigars and he excitedly shared his knowledge and no questions were out of bounds for him.

I'll miss him....wish I could have said goodbye to him
