Passing of a friend and member of this Forum
(OP)
I'm not sure if members of this forum have heard, but Don Day (Prof Don) passed away last month after a lengthy fight with brain cancer.
Don was a friend and mentor to me for the last 15 years. He provided the first useful training in GD&T that I received, and was a resource to me and many on this forum via his collection of Tec-Ease Tip-Of-The-Month, often cited on this forum.
Don had a passion for engineering and for GD&T in particular, and the training materials and tips will serve well as his legacy in this industry sector. Think of him each time you reference the tips, he'd like that.

Don was the one that introduced me to GD&T and made me love it. He sure will be missed. RIP Prof Don.

Thank you for the reminder. He is a certified engineering technologist. I just checked on OACETT's website. There is a David E. De Long (note the space) listed on there. This is good.
