It's always sad when we lose pioneers of rock & roll, his legacy will live on. RIP Don.

Don was always such a solid, reliable rhythm player who, unlike Bruce, seemed to stick mainly to electric guitar.

Don was the last living member and co-founder of the original band. Also, he is the one who has lived the longest of its members (so far). He was 88 years old and would have been 89 this year. Like Bruce, Don also had his own trademark skills on rhythm guitar. He even played lead guitar on a handful of tracks. Rest in peace Don...
