My long-time friend, Don Davis passed away last night after a short battle with cancer. He was a devoted husband and father, and a retired Lieutenant with the Casa Grande Police Dept. We worked together, closely for 20 years. Thankfully, we never lost touch. We met for coffee, often. Don was my friend and I'll miss him forever.

Thank you Dickie, Fred, Jim, and Joe. Your kind words mean so much to me. I haven't been able to wrap my head around the idea that I will never be able to see Don, on this earth, again. I'm really down... but I know time will help. Friends I know and friends I've never met are such a blessing. I miss you, Fred. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you all so much.

Thanks for that kind invitation, Fred. I think I'll do just that. I've been itching to see that new shop of yours. I'll call first, of course. Your friend, Rick

It breakes my heart to have to open this site and see many people i have never had a chance to meet pass away and what it means to friends to lose them . i feel the loss even though i didn't know them, i know we all have a shelf life as i call it but it still isn't easy to deal with. God bless Them.

Thanks Paul, Rudy, and Mike, for your kind words. I'm humbled that all you fine gentlemen took the time to write. It means a lot to me. Smile Time seems to be helping a bit. Don't take your friends and family for granted, after all, this life is just a temporary deal.
