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.

Having just recently rejoined the millions of Imus morning listeners, I googled Fred and learned that he died two years ago. My belated condolences go out to Don, Donnie and all their family...people like Fred Imus are way too few and way too far between. God bless you all.
I miss Fred to this day...that man could make me laugh! RIP.
Thinking of you at Christmas. You are still missed and fondly remembered.
Fred I really miss the conversations you and your brother had on the phone. It reminds me of the conversations I had with my younger brother who too passed away. Sooooooo sad. Miss you boys.
Christmas blessings to the Imus family and to Fred's children. I can only imagine there
is a place in your heart that is a little empty today with his loss.
We all miss his appearances on the Imus Show, and his one and only take
on world events. I would love to hear his opinion and comments on Obamacare.
Rest in peace Fred. You are loved and missed !!
i think IMUS should repeat some of the calls from Fred on his new shows. we all miss Fred so much and we still want to hear his voice. they were such refreshing conversations to hear, so honest and he had such a great sense of humor
Hello Iman,
I know I am almost 3 years late in sending my condolences about Fred, it's not that I didn't follow the story and haven't been grieving along with you since then, it's just that I can only now bring myself to tell you that you and Fred have given me so much listening pleasure with your programs, that I feel you are almost family. I love Bernie and Lou and watch you every morning on FBN. Please take care of yourself, as the world and myself doesn't want to ever lose you. I am a true fan and will follow you always.
Sincerely,
Patricia Wolslagel, Ft.Myers, Fl.
Been listening to you since '74, always a lot of laughs. Fred was very special. He told it like it was with no regrets. Miss Fred. Rest in pease.
Fred---
This is another Christmas that you are not here to share your humor and smile, but you continue to be fondly remembered.
Hey Fred,
Miss you man. You were the shining real light in a world of superficial phonies.
Hope you are doing fine up there and you still have tires on the roof of your abode.
Things aren't the same on the I man's show without you.
Fred, You were one of a kind. I would have loved to have known You. You reminded Me of the importance of Family and especially to take time to laugh. You left this world
in peace and I hope You are enjoying your new life eternal. till we meet again, happy trails !
Fred:
Remembering you on another missed birthday.
Dear Imus,
A brother is irreplaceable but always with us.
Sympathies to you and your family.
