Prayers to family and friends in this most difficult time.

Prayers going up for our departed Freeper and for the grieving family & friends left behind.

Damn! The strange things we remember at times like this.

My wife and I were at the last shoot. I can't remember how many times Tom asked me "you know what I like about you?"

Apparently the correct answer was "Not a damn thing"

Lord God, rest Thy servant Tom with the saints.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Amen

My wife and I were at the last shoot.

May your next one be more memorable.

Eaker always treated me with respect, more than I deserved at times. I will miss his input in the forum. May he rest in peace & the Lord grant his friends and family comfort in this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to hear this, LUV W.

"Eternal rest I'm grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.”

Amen.

He was a funny guy, in that dry, clever way we appreciate. He liked you a lot to say that. :-)

It was so good to meet you all at that shoot. Please give Mrs. V1Rotate a hug and kiss from me.

Please give Mrs. V1Rotate a hug and kiss from me.

Will do and give Keith our regards.

Ahh damn, that really sucks. He was a good dog man.
I’ll miss him and FR is poorer for his passing.
RIP FRiend. May we run our dogs together in Heaven.

[WXRGina]

Will do and give Keith our regards.

I sure will, FRiend. God bless you both.

Thanks Ms LUV W for the news, kind of hard to process this right now.

My condolences to the Eaker’s at this trying time.

Deepest Regards

You’ve acquitted yourself very well here

I don’t know what drives men to the desperation they find themselves in

Nobody wishes to be there .....quiet or not so quiet despondency

As you get old you see so much hurt manifest over the years in folks that you wish you’d had a way to know the future and persuade them to change course when they could

But you’re correct......you’re devastating those who care about you

Especially kids

A legacy that is so burdensome and often gets passed on

Sad just sad..

I stayed on his good side...he did not suffer forum fools gladly...nor do I admittedly

Never had a cross word with him.

I liked him

[Jet Jaguar]

Sorry to hear this.

God bless his family.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Thanks, Laz. I am numb.
