It is with an extremely heavy heart that I report long time collector and cS member Don Brady passed today near Tampa, FL.

This breaks my heart terribly, Don was one of the really good guys.

He is survived by his sister, Mother and son.

Bill O'Donnell and I will be coordinating a memorial amongst us friends at a later date. No funeral arrangements have been made as of yet.

Oh my. My sincerest condolences to his family and close friends.

Don was a long-time friend of collectSPACE. He was one of the first 100 members, joining the site more than a decade ago.

His posts were always warm and insightful. He was the best type of collector, eager to help his fellow community members and share his knowledge.

His enthusiasm for space history and space memorabilia came across clearly in his posts and even more so in-person. He will be missed.

This is so sad. Was Don sick? Does anyone know how old he was?

Please let us know when the memorial service is. I'll try to attend if I can get the time of from work. I'm sure other cS members in the area would like to know as well.

My prayers go to his family.
