According to his Thanksgiving message this may be his last.

I just teared up a little reading his post. I love getting my day started with Dandy Don's posts. He's a true Tiger.

I started reading his columns when I was in high school and still check then now and again. Reminds me of my grandpa who always puts things into perspective with a positive spin. Will always love the old guy as a true Tiger fan!

Holy smokes I hadn't been there in awhile and had no idea.

I found his site long before I found TD.com

This absolutely breaks my heart.

I read dandy's Thanksgiving message every year, and every year I tear up. It reminds me of the stories of how my mom's family grew up.

Him saying that this year will likely be his last is particularly sad.


I'ma hate to lose him as a Tiger fan, but I have no doubt that if Heaven has a front porch, he'll be up there with his mom and dad singing, and shelling beans.

We all love you Dandy One.
