RIP fammy, we'll miss you. You never said one word to me that was unkind. I'll keep your family in my prayers. I hope you are enjoying a nice smooth scotch, and a robust cigar right now.

I never knew Fammyman very well but while I was in Iraq he sent me a package with some cigars. It was uplifting to receive such a gift from someone I never met. I still have one of the cigars he sent to me in my humidor that I keep as a reminder of his generosity. His messages were always kind and I am grateful to have heard from him.

I didn't know Gordon, but I remember reading his posts. And I remember reading in the thread advising of his passing that he had adopted children with special needs. I remember thinking "that is the kind of man the world needs more of". It was a shock that someone with such a generous heart would take their own life. But everyone faces their struggles differently.
Gordon I hope you have found the peace that you couldn't find in this world. I will say a prayer for the wife and children you left behind. RIP sir. |
