Don the Creator of Ruby 13 1939-2013
His doctors told him he had pneumonia but it wasn't until last week that he was transferred to
a much finer hospital and a doctor found the true issue. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
He asked me to tell his friends here how much he would miss you and his wonderful chats with
you on the phone over the past few years. He truly loved our business, customers and the creations he
shared.
He passed away today at 4pm with his family around him. He was more than just my
father, he was a great friend. I appreciate your friendship with him as he talked about you often.
Cheers
Jim (Brash)

I regret that I was never able to meet him, as I was busy with family issues during the last L.A. meet.

I am so shocked and saddened by this. Thanks for letting us know.
My only comfort at this time is knowing he had a great life as a
brilliant artist, and knowing that you and family were there for him
when he passed.
I am better for having known him; I wish I'd known him better.
I will truly, truly miss him. He was one of the coolest people I've
met.
Blessings to Don, and to you and your family.

Don's legacy will live on through his art..on paper or in silicone..
His "girls" will always be with us.
Rest in peace my old friend...
