Loss of a loved one....

[ZTFab]

Early this morning my Uncle, Don Gale, lost his battle with cancer.

Since earlier this year he had been fighting against malignant tumors that were found in his brain and his lungs. After many surgeries, treatments, therapies, etc cancer had consumed more than 50% of his body and had run as deep as his bone marrow.

Don was a very accomplished photographer, instructor, and mentor. His photography work was published many times as well as his instructional videos and techniques.

He will be missed but we are glad that he no longer suffers.

I made a quick tribute video. All of the photos in the video were taken by him.

Thanks for the support.

This has all been really rough on our entire family but especially on my Mom. Just last week she lost a long time friend to cancer and last year she lost her mother.

She was by my Uncle's side every day for the last 6 months while he fought cancer.

Thanks Joey. Those aren't even some of his best ones.

I have a few hanging in my house and I constantly get asked, "Who painted those pictures".

I then have to explain that they are photos...some of them are just unbelievable.

Paul, sorry to hear about you uncle. His photos are awesome, he got to see some amazing places. I lost a very close uncle to cancer a few years ago as well. I'll be praying peace over your family.
