Wow, Bagster was a larger than life character on FR, it never occurred to me that he'd pass before I did.

Ransomnote, that is a truly great tribute you wrote, I just read it twice to make sure I got it all. Awesome piece about an awesome man. Thank you.

Bagster, you are already missed and will be missed as long as FR is around, and then some. Geez, it feels like a gaping hole has been punched in the cosmos.

RIP dear FRiend. Tonight I say prayers for your spirit and soul, may you find peace and everlasting love.

The thread title is missing the day of his birth. He was born may 12th. Could you add ‘12’ to his birthday?

Easily the most heartfelt eulogy I have read hear on FR. We have lost one of our greatest (and most playful) curmudgeons. He will be missed.

Aww, man. RIP- I hope there are steaks in heaven, because someday I’d like to buy him one.

(Hopefully not too soon, though.)

oh no

Thank you, Ransom, MoD, for this tribute.

Bagster is gone. Long live Bagster!

He is one of the most stoic American Patriots I’ve ever met. Wildly passionate, devoted, and faithful to this country. Extremely intelligent, witty. Empathetic. He absorbed any information he could from anywhere and then considered and made his own decisions and judgement.

Michael was the proud owner of giant brass balls. While many of us attempt to remain somewhat anonymous on the interwebs, he raised a flag and said, “here’s me! This is my name! This is where I live! These are my beliefs! Come and take it...”

Respect.

I’m happy to have had my phone calls with him. We started out gently, sniffing each others’ butts, to establish bona fides. I guess we both checked out because we talked more over time. About life, the universe and everything.

When you meet someone as intelligent and intellectually forceful as Michael, with such a quick wit, take note. You won’t find them often.

Bags, I’ve shed my tears hearing about our loss. Don’t bust on me, it’ll only happen once. I will not mourn your death, rather I celebrate your life and contributions here on this world.

FReegards,
Kit

I loved his .gif - I wasn't big on Q stuff but the .gif was fun - I may post it from time-to-time in honor of our friend.
