Remembering our TB brothers who have passed on...

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey now,

I know this may come off as being a little ...well different. After seeing a sticky about our brother Adrian Garcia and then reading a comment about another TB member who has passed away... I wondered why not a thread/sticky that would remember all of these guys/gals. Maybe those that were influential to you. Some may be closer to you than others . I just think it would be great to remember these great folks who may have shared ideas or were just a good friend.

If this idea suits you all feel free to get it rockin

Blessings all and feel free to add whomever...Tber or not

As silly as it sounds I'm saddened about the loss of my local UPS driver. Found out yesterday that he committed suicide about 2 weeks ago. He was a solid dude that would really hook me up whether it be meeting me somewhere or leaving packages at requested places. Never have I had service like that from anyone.

Thats really sad to hear, that a guy who sounds, by your account, to be a real "good one". UPS drivers and indeed all courier drivers can be a bit "arsey" at times and usually won't go out of their way to put the customer first. I hope he's in a better place now.

It's always sad when someone gets to a point where they lose hope...there is no place lower.

I still remember vividly when I received an email from Pat's best friend the day after he was killed by a drunk driver while Pat was driving home from a gig. What a punch to the gut that was.

I miss Pat to this day.

ChrisA was a great guy I miss him also.

Yep, November 2000. I still have an archive of all the emails we did back and forth. He was a terrific guy, killed by a drunk driver running a red light. Naturally, the drunk survived.
