Holy crap, blast from the past. Got a text from him and a nice phone call. Send him a cigar.

Hey, Bucky ...

Tough loss my friend ...

oh, and be sure to let 'em know, sending the cigar is an old joke, not to be taken literally ...

A real man among men.

His absence here is felt like a 9.2 magnitude earthquake.

A true gentleman who many here never got to see post, but who's sage wisdom was always on fertile ground.

I can't make anyone come back "home"...I wish I could...I can't. Him and a host of others that made me even want to post here to share what we do and to become a part of the Brotherhood of the Leaf.

Thanks for sharing Bucky.

I needed that today.

It's not a joke. Its a rite of passage. It's a pay it back to pay it forward kind of dealio.

Don't be such a stranger.

You ARE missed.

Steve!

Give my best to Ann and say hi to the gang at Keith's open house.

Carol says hi too!

hahaha...I remember sending him a cigar at DMV's urging when I first got here...I thought he didn't acknowledge it because it was prolly a crappy cigar and he didn't want to embarrass me...

He only smokes high end smokes, dayum elitist.
