Wheel's funeral was one year ago today. I miss him. All the sniping and arguments we had publicly on here were total bullshit. Privately he was the best friend I never met I ever had. I regret the hell out of not meeting him in person. He was a good man with a beautiful family.


RIP you mouthy, short, clam-digging, North Mexican SOB.

Jade...know EXACTLY what you meant. Only difference is that I did meet him. When we used to do fun stuff like ROAK there was a variation called The Spot. I made him the Spot. Bunch of great cigars...bottle of booze, Mardi Gras beads, a custom pirate looking letter...burned at the edges with a lot of ye and ol in it all packaged in a humidor. He used to come down to Florida to visit family.

We would talk at least once a month. I valued our long distance friendship. When I saw Michael's post that he had passed I thought this was one of his gags. When I signed his guest page at the funeral home I knew this wasn't a joke. It felt like someone kicked me in the stomach.

I miss him and his humor. Being in on the joke from afar and watching people take the bait and laughing either over the phone or through pm here.

RIP....Cowboys still suck.

I did not know wheel died ( I have been away for a while). While not as close, wheel was fun to interact with on this forum.

I didn't realize it's been a year already. I suck at that stuff.

He did come up in thoughts & conversation yesterday. We went for beers right by his favorite hangout, where we had the wake.

Hope nurse Terrie is doing well.

I got to see them together...shes awesome...I hope she's doing well too. Bill would upset a lot here by objectifying her a lot...it was done out of love and pushing the envelope. Believe me...even if told him to tone it down offline. Did he? No.

I imagine he left a giant hole for her to fill. He was a presence.

Yep......regret the hell out of not going to Green Bay and meeting him up there for the Pack/Cowboys game only a couple of months before he passed. I just figured there was time. When he got hurt, I asked if he needed help with his business or anything. I get a lot of vacation at my work and was ready to go but being a dip$hit....er....uh....proud Texan, he would have none of it. I coulda helped Pedro and didn't even need a new hose to drink from! Hell....now I don't even care if the Cowboys win or not....although, you're right. They still suck.

Like you, Wheel and I would fight or he or I would bait some newb and on PM or the phone, we would laugh and laugh. Wheelrite was an obnoxious, misogynistic jackass that could get under anyone's skin. Bill Bark was a decent, hardworking man that loved and was soooo proud of his family and would give you the shirt off his back and laugh while doing it. I miss them both.

Damn, a year already?!?! I didn't have nearly the relationship some of you had with him but about a year before he passed, we had e-mailed each other about some Rolling Stones recordings that I was going to burn for him. Never got around to it and really sad that I never got off my azz to do it. I know he would have enjoyed them.

RIP Bill. 🙏

So glad I got a chance to meet him. Invited me to sit down next to him and gave me an ISOM right off the bat! Told him how he nailed me on my very first post (of course he called me queer - his way of saying "welcome") and I died laughing and got him right back!

Wheel was not the smart-ass he portrayed here on the boards. I've met a few people in my life that would make you feel that you were his long lost friend like Bill did. He was a genuine person and it reflected in his family. Bills daughter is more like him than his son, the Chief, but he couldn't have prouder of both.


Miss ya wheel
