Re: Heartbreaking news about Grumpy Old Man
He'll definitely be missed. The board has lost just a bit of its character.
Condolences to his family.

Re: Heartbreaking news about Grumpy Old Man
Although Im not around much lately I still check in frequently. I always would enjoy reading his posts. Down to earth, knowledgeable and good sense of humor.
Rest well Grumpy and may your family find peace and solace. Another reminder to take the time and live in the present with the good people that we know here and in our daily lives.
