1. Thanks for the reminder of him. I was just looking at his book the other day

and thinking of him.

Your are missed, oneighty. :cry:

[BOSSHOG]

3. His book is by my easy chair out in the Garage

and I read his stories often. He was a good shipmate now enjoying his fair winds and following seas and waiting for us to join him. Continue your well deserved rest my friend.

4. I recently printed out his Journal

Ed could tell a story like few people could.

10. I was thinking of Monkeyman just this morning.

I miss him so much.

[lonestarnot]

13. Me too.

:cry:

[TomInTib]

21. That reminds me.

Monkeyman (Dale) and I used to communicate quite frequently due to our shared service.

I saw that little picture of a flame in the body of your response.

All of my PMs and e-mails to Dale always ended with:


Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin'.


Just the act of typing that brought tears to my eyes.


I hope my Brother found a soft place to land.

[havocmom]

16. He's been on my mind a lot of late too.

Hope his spirit is content.

8. "Gonna hop into that car of mine and drive around the world"

This was my tribute that night to him. I got out his book and copied this story.

Gonna hop into that car of mine and drive around the world.

"My last new car was in 1968, a Karman Ghia. I am a sixty eight year old, old fool now, with a real sporty silver colored little car, which I bought this morning.

I stopped to show my daughter the car a bit ago. She was not home. So instead I got to show my thirteen going on eighteen-year-old granddaughter the sporty toy. She liked it a lot.

I said "I ought to be able to pick up some cool chicks with this car. What do you think?"

"Sure, Grandpa" she says."

11. oh boy did he ever love that car!

That little girl is grown now . He was so proud of his family. Both of his children were adopted , and I have never known anyone who loved his family more. He could talk about them for hours.
