This Isn’t Our Last Love Letter 

   
Dear Don Don,
 
Way back in 92

I walked into the room and knew

Never felt this way before

I shook your hand while gazing into your eyes

And the feeling grew

As I took a seat I knew

A love that would have my heart

Forever

I knew

Way back in 92


They say love at first sight doesn’t always last or isn’t true

We were the exception to that rule

Our love had no where to hide

A spark set fire

As if this is how the universe started


I never doubted our love or what we could do

Together we grew

Forming a bond everlasting

That became our glue

My euphoria was YOU

I’m eternally grateful for the love and life we shared

For how fortunate we were :

“to have and to hold
through sickness and in health
Til death do us part”

Until we are together again

This isn’t our last love letter

I love you with all my heart and soul

Yours forever,

Deirdre  (Mrs. Hank Snow)

I’m fortunate to have fallen in love with, marry and make a life with the sharpest, coolest, funniest, most rare, bad ass, tender loving, loyal man on the planet, my husband Don Imus.


A True American Hero

 

I don’t know why it has been so hard for me to write about my dear friend Don Imus.

I certainly know what he meant to me, my family, my charity, my hospital and the millions of fans that listened and loved him for so many years.


I keep reading all the beautiful condolences that people are writing about how much a part of their lives were effected by listening to him over the years.

But what most people don’t talk enough about is what he did for all of us.

 

In every sense of the word, he was an American Hero. His work with children with so many different illnesses and his dedication to their future was unmatched by anyone I have ever known or heard about.

Besides raising over $100,000,000 for so many causes, he took care of young people for over 20 years in a state where he could not breathe.  Along with his incredible wife Deirdre, he created a world where children were not defined by their disease. That was a miracle! He was a miracle.

 

I will miss him ever day for the rest of my life.
I was blessed to be a part of his and Deirde’s life.
No one will ever do what he did.
I love you Don Imus - A TRUE AMERICAN HERO

A Tribute To Don Imus

Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.

Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust 

Don Imus Was Abrupt, Harsh And A One-Of-A-Kind, Fearless Talent

By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.

Artie Lange

You may know Artie Lange from MADtv, The Norm Show, The Nick And Artie Show, or The Artie Lange Show on Directv.  You may also know him from the films Dirty Work, Elf, Old School, or Beer League which he also co-wrote, co-produced and starred in as Artie DeVanzo. 

Beer League was based on the Award Winning Film Gameday.  Gameday, and Artie as it’s screenwriter, won best screenplay at several short film festivals.  Artie also produced, and starred in the short.

In the early 90’s Artie helped to form the Sketch Group Live on Tape in the clubs and small theaters for New York City.  The success of Live on Tape led to Artie’s big break in 1995.  He was chosen to be an original cast member of the MadTV, the Fox Sketch Show that lasted 14 sesaons.  Artie was 27 when he joined the show and was part of MadTV for two great years before departing in 1997.  His work at MadTV led him to the Norm Show and other television opportunities.

Artie is perhaps best known for The Howard Stern Radio and TV show which he co-hosted from 2001-2009

No guest has appeared more on The Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon.  Artie has appeared on Conan over twenty times, and he’s also been on Jimmy Kimmel, David Letterman, and been interviewed by Mark Maron and Adam Carolla.

Artie has multiple standup comedy specials including:  It’s The Whiskey Talkin, Jack and Coke and The Stench of Failure.  On Comedy Central, Artie roasted Hugh Hefner and William Shatner as well as appearing on This is Not Happening with Ari Shaffir.  Artie hosted The Nasty Show at the Montreal Comedy Festival in 2015 which was filmed and aired for Showtime.  Speaking of Showtime, he is very proud of his appearances on Dave’s Old Porn with Dave Attell.

You might be saying “that’s great, but has Artie ever written a book?”

Well, it just so happens, Artie is a New York Times Best Selling Author.  To Fat to Fish, which Artie co-wrote with Anthony Bozza debuted at #1 on the NYTimes Best Seller List, which paved the way for their second book, Crash and Burn, which was a disappointment debuting at #12 on NYT best seller list.

In 2008, Artie toured with the USO on a show for the troops he titled Operation Mirth; he toured every major city in North America, and parts of Europe.  He also, in spite of being a self-described ‘total screw-up’ bought his mother a house.

Lange just started an internet show on Compound Media with Anthony Cumia.

He owes so much to his fans, and promises that if you guys stick around longer we will add many more memories to this.
