Friends the following is a message to all of Don's friends here at PGM, from his beloved daughter Kelly.
A few words about my beloved Father,
(Donald Gaynor Sr.)
Who as he would say, “EXITED THE STAGE” February 27th 2023
How do you put a remarkable man’s life in a few words? Especially someone who, though in a frail physical condition, showed STRENGTH BEYOND MEASURE!
I know my dear Dad had a tremendous impact on a lot of people, countless times people would say to me, “Your Dad is such an inspiration to me!” No one knows the half of what he went through, and yet, he would ALWAYS greet you with the biggest sparkling smile, that lit up his whole face! Hiding all the pain within. (I truly miss that smile already.)
Many of you know Dad as “The music Man” He had an incredible passion for music, but
Perhaps some do not know the full reason why, it is because it was his way of expressing joy and the hidden parts of his heart, because down deep he was a very bashful man, so he found a way to express himself through music. He loved to share the joy it brought him, in hopes it would give others that same joy.
I can truly say I learned so much about what’s REALLY important in life from my Dad, ….
It’s about genuine faith in Gods promises, which helped him not just endure trials but to face challenges with dignity being convinced of a much better future. Some of his favorite verses were- (Revelation 21:4 Psalm 37:10,11) (And I’m going to ad one that he exemplified- 2 Corinthians 4:16-18) THAT is what was behind that beautiful smile and countenance he maintained till his last breath!
My earnest hope is that I can reflect some of his fine qualities in my life, … he’s given me reasons to reflect on my own life, do I inspire faith, joy, and hope in others?
Life is too short to focus on the negative. Obviously like every single one of us, Dad had his flaws, but I can say with all my heart he was a remarkable man in his own right!
I KNOW he loved each and every one of you in his own way, …… I’m so proud to say, “he was my Daddy.”
Kelly, thank you for sharing your thoughts and deep love you had for your father. Don was a friend here to many. I was happy to be included in that friendship. He will be missed. Still as in line with Don's and My own deeply held hope, it is not goodbye it is "see ya later". So friends of the late Donald Gaynor Sr. please join me in sharing our thoughts and prayers with his beloved family as they navigate the grief that comes with loss.
Regards, Rob Helms

So sad, my condolences to his family.
Don will be sorely missed for his friendship, his humour and always positive attitude, even though his final years were tough and he suffered poor health.
God bless you Don.
Cheers,
Keith

That was a very eloquent tribute. Our communications were brief but we never ceased to be amazed at how joyous and caring he was irrespective of his disabilities. May he rest in peace and be surrounded by the music he so loved.

Rob, Thanks for posting that.
I’m very sorry to hear of Don’s passing. He was a remarkable man, a true inspiration to all of us here, and all who new him. A great sense of humor, especially when it came to the topics of his Irish or Canadian friends/roots. He made lots of friends here on the forum, myself included. And hosted a few zoom events during Covid full of music and happy family stories. He family is a beautiful legacy for him, and a testament to the values that he’s passed on to them. He’s made the world a better place.
RIP good friend,
Peter
Have Fun!

Thanks so much for posting this Rob.
Don will be sorely missed.
I will never forget driving into his nursing home in 2014 and seeing him sitting outside in his beloved gazebo waiting for me.
I will never forget the joy (and tears) on his face when I sang for him at his nursing home.
I will never forget how he gave me confidence to perform and record my music.
Thank you Don. We will miss you!

Don was one of the nicest people I knew-but-never-met. What started out as a "business connection / relationship" many many years ago turned into a friendship that I didn't expect but happily embraced.
I always enjoyed his sense of humor, amazing stories, the music he shared, and his "positive-no-matter-what" approach to life and all its struggles. I don't think I ever heard a negative statement from him!
When my Father passed away, Don was right there to lift me up. I'll never forget that, and never forget him either.
Don, you were loved so much.

Rob, thank you for posting this sad news. I trust Don's family will find peace in reading all the positive comments we each felt for this fine man. The challenges he overcame with grace were many. I had the pleasure to discuss with him a possible ergonomic solution to his difficulty in using a mouse and I gained a greater understanding of the way he faced problems: a great lesson for us all.

A brilliant country singer too.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
