Re: Don the Creator of Ruby 13 1939-2013
I remember way back when I first joined TDF Don was introducing the idea of a Ruby13 to the forum.
he had some great sketches, and then if I remember right he did a prototype from plaster or fiberglass or something,
there were a few doubters that railed him a little, but he always took it in stride, and keep his vision going,
I was an early fan and still am,
Don you are off on your next great adventure, and Ruby will let us know how you are doing.

I was surprised and saddened to hear this. I had a very unpleasant shiver go down my spine when I saw the posts subject/title when I logged in.
My condolences to you and to the rest of your/Dons' family.
His amazing legacy will live on through his art and his amazing dolls.

Has just now learned this incredibly sad message.
At these moments always there are no necessary words to express all grief.
Jim, accept my sincere regrets.
All of us have lost the big person.

Just wondering, Is there an obituary printed anywhere?
I find it nice to read the obituary and learn more about him.

I never meet the man or owned one,but loved his work so I'm sending what I can.Brash wrote:One other thing, (As an option to sending flowers) that Don's brother just asked me to mention. He had asked Don where he wanted his ashes to be taken. Don lived many years in a jungle valley in Maui and loved that idea although he didn't want to cause the family any financial hardship. So eventually we are going to take his ashes there. If anyone wants to contribute to this last voyage for Don feel free to make your contribution to this paypal account "rhodimer@hotmail.com" and label it "Don's Last Memory."
Thanks,
