RIP He was funny.
RIP....we’ve lost so many good ones over the years. A perusal of the Memorial Wall is like an FR Hall of Fame.
RIP Bagster. I will miss your posts
Bagster was sharp and funny guy. I miss him.
RIP you character.
A witty and good-hearted man. I hadn’t realized he was ill and am sorry to hear of his passing.
I think the origin, impact and ultimate promises of Q were the only things I ever disagreed with him on. I enjoyed occasional banter with him and respected how he maintained both good will and his beliefs throughout.
“I learned later that when I first started talking to him on the phone 5 years ago, he was on oxygen and had stents etc., and 30% - 40% heart function.”
RIP Bro.
Loved your defusing the trolls with humor.
Bagster, rest in peace.
He will be severely missed. No one crushed trolls better than Bagster.
So sorry to hear this. God bless bagster.
On that Wednesday, that you went away,
It started like…. any other day.
The news appeared …. and time stood still,
We lost our Bags!!!??? It was God’s will.
.
We felt the void, our hearts were crushed,
We stand here now in remembered trust….
Of the Man we’ve known and in our loss,
We remember the brother, father, and Boss.
.
Rebel, freeqster, and good friend,
That each of us ….can attend.
We share our moments of a life lived whole,
Of memories he carved upon our soul.
.
So each of us can share his laughter,
In a moment in time that stands hereafter.
Your friends are here, who loved you so.
We stand with your family to easy the blow.
.
Of a loss so great that time stood still,
Their freeqs now. And always will…
Be …..part of us, because of you.
The Rebel who stood…..to tell his truth.
.
Michael ….you made your point with style.
We laughed our butts off and stayed a while.
To watch you joust, like a rodeo clown.
Always in there, but never down.
.
We look around and see ……your Legacy,
Of a life well lived with decency.
We came for entertainment , but are missing you,
And the way you turned a phrase or two.
.
And when it is time, I hope that we’ll see,
Bagster at the Gate, with a greeting for thee….
“Hey Freeq, you made it! We’re all waiting here.
Let’s take a walk and go have a beer.”
my heart is heavy. my popcorn soggy...
bagster now knows all the answers, but i can’t hear his response.
Oh no. Goodbye to a respected FReeper. Thank you for posting the sad news in such a beautiful tribute. RIP, Bagster…you will be missed.
Oh my God, I don’t even know what to say, other than to call on MY GOD. Bagster was such a funny, engaging soul that I just loved it when he participated in a thread. Never a dull moment when he was there.
I’m shocked by this news. I like pretty much every freeper I’ve come across but I can honestly say, this one truly stood out to me. I’m so sorry he’s gone.
and, seriously, great eulogy in honoring our friend.
Darn.
RIP.
Enjoyed his style of Gung Fu.
I cannot say I share your opinion of him, Ransomnote, but I am humbled and in admiration of you and your Christlike efforts to witness the Gospel to him. I sincerely join in your hope to see him again.
