Thanks Gary. You can really feel Don's absence around here. I miss all his funny quips. He wrote a cute little poem for me too. About two days before we knew of his passing, I had picked up a little Dracula figure I was going to send him. It's still sitting here on my desk. I just can't bring myself to do anything with it.

I know the feeling Karen........I sent him a little Scatter monkey to keep in his hospital room. Then Nancy wanted to send him something to hang on his little red scooter, so she picked up a red sock monkey. But he passed before we could send it out. I have it hanging from the stained glass lamp by my bed.

We're all here because we're not all there.

I had sent him a homemade card with some monster-y artwork on it, which I'm sure he recieved.  But I had just finished a drawing of Don as "Uncula, The Vampire" - sadly, he was gone before I could get it to him.

How about showing it here. I'm sure we and all his family would love to see it.

I sent Don a DVD copy of the Zacherley Archives, [the only existing kinescopes from 4 of Zach's shows including Roland and Shock Theater] a copy of the first CD i did w/Zach [Dead Man's Ball] and a card featuring a monkey in a ballerina costume on the front. On the inside i wrote ''what are the chances? I walk into the card shop and the first card i'm confronted with has a pic of Scatter on it!'' My package arrived April 1st, according to delivery confirmation. Hopefully, he did get to see the card, if nothing else... I didn't correspond with Don very much here, but always enjoyed his enthusiastic , heartfelt posts. His presence is sorely missed.

I haven't been able to talk much about Uncula's passing , but I did want you all to know of a couple of things . . . In his obituary, it was mentioned that he was a member of the UMA. His wife said she didn't dare leave that out. :) Also, at his viewing, there was a board containing many of the cards, masks, and a little gorilla statue that meant so much to him in his last days. He thought you all were wonderful, and he was right.

I really did not know Don at all, but enjoyed his posts very much. Although his presence will be missed, he shall long remain here within us.
