This is the sort of message that I wish I didn't have to forward, but 
it's necessary.  Don was the quintessential NAFEX member, with a 
collection of walnuts that actually dwarfed the national government 
collections.   His knowledge of walnuts was nothing short of amazing, 
even among a group of like-minded collectors.  He was never anything 
but kind and gentle, as well as amazingly enthusiastic about walnuts, 
whenever I talked to him.  I already miss him.

Subject: A message from Don's son John Balser


Hello Everyone,

With very deep sorrow I must deliver some bad news. Don passed away on
December 24 at home. I know you kept in touch via email and such so I am
sending this message from his computer.
I am trying to go through his email contact list.

We had services for Dad on the 29th. in Mount Vernon. I have attach the
Obituary we wrote about Don's great life.
