My thoughts and prayers are there for you and your family. I wish you the best!
I'll tip a glass of bourbon in your honor sir! You will be missed. May your next journey be peaceful and pleasant.
Spend your remaining time with friends and family.
Goodbye my Friend.

Devastating news. I will miss you. You are an inspiration to us all, and your legacy will remain here for as long as those of us who know you have a say.

Vaya con Dios amigo. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for your Mrs. or the rest of your family.

On the bright side, at least now maybe I have a chance of catching up to you on post count...

A toast to OBG, for all his stories and advice. He's set a great example for the rest of us.

Cheers

Hooo boy...

What Benjammin said, but in triplicate. Except you don't care much for paperwork, so forget the carbon copies.

You've lived more than most and remain an inspiration to all of us.

Thank you for all you've given. I'll (we're) keeping our fingers crossed for you and you loved ones.

OBG, you're one of the reasons a lot of us have joined and are participating in this crazy forum. No one will be able to take your place. Although most of us don't know you personally, we love ya. I wish you peace.

OBG,


I have enjoyed the time and conversations.

The thoughts of DW, DD, Sons#1&2 and I are with you and yours.

Enjoy the time with your family, in the end they are all we have...

Peace be upon you and yours, and unto you Peace.

Craig

It is HIS kingdom, we are just leasing space while we can...

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.
