As Don liked to say "Had a little monkey, took him to the country, fed him on gingerbread, along came a choo-choo and knocked him cuckoo. Now my little monkey is dead." and "Do you think the rain will hurt the rhubarb.......not if it's in a can. He also liked to say he was a "devout Catholic and self proclaimed coward."
