RIP FRiend. “See ya ‘round the popsicle stand.”

[Songcraft]

Sorry to hear that.   (They should have warned him about eating all that popcorn!)     :-)

RIP Bagster.

For those of you who might remember hockey's Philadelphia Flyers from the 1970's, Bagster always put me in mind of Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, who was always ready to drop the gloves, and go toe-to-toe with anyone, about anything, and he usually got the best of those encounters.   Bagster's posts here were always interesting.


     


After reading your tribute to him, this song crossed my mind:    "Lord, I'm Coming Home"  (song link).

[Spacetrucker]

I can say the same, though when I went into one of his Q threads to disagree with him the vitriol was, shall we say, quite heavy. RIP, bagster.

…always put me in mind of Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, who was always ready to drop the gloves, and go toe-to-toe with anyone, about anything…

Dave even had a 45 rpm record out with a badly sung little ditty called “The Penalty Box.” It was hilarious.

I think bagster would have liked that comparison.

May God rest his soul and comfort his family and friends.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Rest in peace, Bagster!

Such a loss. RIP Bags!

[Enterprise]

R.I.P. I met him and he was very likable. He is a loss to Free Republic.

[cibco]

RIP Bags - You will be missed...

[KitJ]

Darling LJ, I am always here.

This loss is momentous.

Over and under for how many nurses Bagster proposed to in his last days?

I say eight. Two under gets you 3:1, two over gets you 2:1.

Bet me.

[1_Rain_Drop]

I am shocked. Missed his posts but wasn't aware the reason for his absence.

R.I.P. Bagster. You are missed. Very much!

[linMcHlp]

Thank you.

[gas_dr]

A beautiful eulogy, ma’am. Thank you for passing the news along. And thank you for your witness to him that he may be saved as well. Joining my prayers with those who pray for him.

He was a fixture among this community and I, too, will miss him

God Speed, bagster. May the road rise to meet you and the wins be at your back. May God always hold you in the palm of His hand.
—Irish blessing

Gassy.
