Speaking of backhoe, whatever happened to one of the all-time FReeper greats?
(/that post)
[No replies]
A prolific poster, a great researcher/linker, an educator, a truth-seeker, a freedom-lover and a passionate man, a soul-baring spirit for the love of his life, Miss Emily.
What more can a man be?
One of the all-time FReeper greats.
A tearful goodbye. R.I.P. backhoe and Miss Emily.
(prayer)
love
Condolences to remaining family, friends, FReepers and the Free Dominion posters who are scattered about.
RIP backhoe. Another familiar voice passes.
Really sorry to hear this. John was a good man, and one of the best FReepers ever.
Personally, I think he would really, really like that the announcement came on this particular thread.
Backhoe had about as tough a life as can be imagined.
How he kept his head up to contribute as much as he did here amazes me.
.
Don’t you go getting any ideas of leaving us!
.
Our deepest sympathy. Prayers.
Godspeed backhoe. ..home at last with Miss Emily.
Oh no, so sorry to hear this.
Rest in peace, Backhoe.
