Although we knew that preceding Don’s demise his powerful brain did not function as of old, the very sad news of his death came unexpected. The loss is felt deeply, as the pleasure to have known Don has been a blessing for many Nabokovians.

I learned yesterday the tragic news of our loss of Donald Barton Johnson. Don visited the Vladimir Nabokov Museum in St. Petersburg more than once.
It always seemed to me that Don Barton Johnson possessed a certain Nabokovian secret, which he strove to convey to Nabokovians and readers.
I am enclosing my poem dedicated to Don, written long ago, but now it seems to me to be addressed to his eternal soul.
