A Day at Flies

Happy Birthday Don
Got that wave of the day for ya, Bro. It happened to have been yesterday, but you would have been proud.
Happy Birthday Brother!
Hey-Hey, Captain Dootze - Happy Birthday! I got this photo of us in my office, so you're never far from my thoughts.
I remember some wild b-days back in the day, before Dootze became a model citizen. In our mid-20s Don's favorite vice was flaming shots, which flew past a bushy 'stache, then ended with a deafening roar that brought the bar to a standstill. Crazy man. I also remember a 30th with brother Randy. That story will remain out of the public domain to protect the innocent. Suffice to say at some point we were all firmly asked to leave the bar and not come back. Hang loose, Don - you are truly missed by all.

Miss ya' Dootze...
Rest well, my friend, we're always thinking of you. It's been a long year without you. Hope you have a box seat next to Big Stein...

Don's Surf Buddy
We've lost another great man, surfer, and brother. I apologize for not having much in the way of details yet, but Tucker Geery has passed away after a 2-year battle with rectal cancer.
A dear friend of so many, he and Don and I were inseparable in our high-school surf days. With incredible effort, he made the trip from Montauk to Don's memorial in September, laying flat for the ride in his brother Scott's car because for almost 9 months already at that point he could not sit. He was the same old Tucker to me that day, even though I had not seen him for at least 25 years, and despite his illness. He had a grin that was utterly contagious, and a personality to go with it.
He will be dearly missed by so many. I can certainly vouch for how much someone can be missed, even over the years and over the miles.
There has to be surf where these wonderful guys go, and you can bet Don and Tuck are trading off on the bombs out the back.
