I always enjoyed reading his posts, and he will be sorely missed.

One or twice he would talk frankly about his cancer, and it was clear to me, though he'd never type it, that he was in pain at times and the cancer he had was very serious.

For some reason, I think of Joshua Deets' epigraph in the novel Lonesome Dove. It was a fitting tribute for a Soldier and American.

JOSH DEETS
SERVED WITH ME 30 YEARS. FOUGHT IN 21 ENGAGEMENTS WITH THE COMMANCHE AND KIOWA. CHERFUL IN ALL WEATHERS, NEVER SHERKED A TASK. SPLENDID BEHAVIOUR

I hope his family and friends know we will miss his companionship, his insight and hope that his memory will provide them comfort.

I remember him for his high-quality top shelf posts and he was often present in the threads I participated in.

RIP Sir.

I didn't see him post often, but his posts were always very informative.

One thing I remember was how he would reference his own fight with cancer usually only to encourage others.

Pretty damn impressive. He knew his odds weren't good and didn't let it get to him; rather he shared his strength and positive spirit. That's an example to which we
should all adhere to in our turn.

It is like losing a brother. We spoke often. I met him IRL back in 05 at Wayne's farm (Hun Farm).

He loved beer. Good beer. Belgian beer. Drink one in his memory.
