Sad News Of A Great Wargamer's Passing

Just received the following from another group I belong to

Dear Members,
I received this today From Pat Condrey....

Good evening Pat,
I am sorry to be the bearer of sad news but I have just heard that Don Featherstone passed away. I saw him a few weeks ago for one of his military dining club dinners and he was in good spirits but very frail. Unfortunately he had a fall and was discovered collapsed by a neighbor. He was taken into Southampton hospital and had been there a while but his general conditioned deteriorated. I have no other details only that he died yesterday. As I said I am so sorry to have to give you this news but thought you'd like to know.
I will also tell Duke Seifried and Bob Giglio as I have their email addresses but I would be grateful if you could let others among his many friends in the US know of his passing. He will be sorely missed.
Chris

I'm very sad to hear this, I have several of his books and always
enjoyed them. RIP
