It’s been a pleasure “knowing” you. Thank you for the example you’ve set in facing this tragedy. Thank you for the many genuine laughs starting with the CP Royal Court and the “feud” with Bearcat that came out of that with the Christmas time pink bunny picture and sign, and everything else that happened thereafter, up to and including allowing me to parody your testicles.

I pray you go with and in peace, and that God grants your family peace and comfort in your absence. And I promise to give Gaycat hell for you from time to time in your memory.

All this and more. Thank you for being a part of our lives.
