The loss of a wonderful friend

[BrooksW]

I just got word that Don (aka OpenEndStraight) lost his battle with cancer...

He was one of the best, always a kind word, a great guy to smoke with who would always meet you at Casa Fuente if you were in town, and would do anything for a friend...

I remember quite a few great nights smoking, drinking and spending more on cigars (and Tommy Bahama shirts) then we should have...

You will be missed Don

RIP brother. Never got to meet Don in person, but BS'ed with him in chat a few times a while back. A great guy indeed.

Wow. Sad to hear. Never met him in person either, but talked with him chat as well. Rest in peace, Don.

That is sad news.

I had never met him either, but we had PM'ed a few times and traded smokes...Seemed like a wonderful person from the small amount of time I shared with him.

RIP, brother.
