Very sad news, he will be missed.

Sad news. Rest in peace and thank You for all.

I'm one of many who got into our wonderful hobby through his books. I borrowed them from the local library then bought my own, and they're still on my shelves today. He founded our modern hobby and lived to see the golden age we're in. RIP, Don, and thanks. 

Much the same as everyone, sad news.
As a lad borrowed his books from the library,
Last year managed to buy a copy of solo games and it took me right back to those days.
Thank you Don.

As with so many others, I was introduced into the hobby by his writing. A great loss.

Indeed 

A sad loss to the hobby, it was his books that inspired me to take up this hobby of ours. He will be missed

A very sad loss. This was the man who got me into wargaming all those years ago (1968) when I was loaned a copy of 'Wargames' by a school friend who became my first wargames opponent. First game was ACW using Don's rules and then I became a subscriber to 'Wargamers Newsletter'. I was later inspired by his following books. Strangely I was in a bookshop in Hexham yesterday and there was an old signed copy of Don's 'Solo Wargaming'.

Very sad news. It takes me back a long way to a time when a book shop would let a raggedy student virtually memorise a book that he couldn't afford  . Alas those times are well and truly behind us now.

Incidentally I did buy his books when I could eventually afford them. Some of my first influences, and not only in wargaming.
