Somehow I was able to give myself a very clumsy, self-Heimlich maneuver and spat that biitch out (not like THAT! :eek:). That reality of flying-solo is something that is always there and takes a certain mental toll.

Really sucks what happened to Rusty Heap.
Wow, we nearly lost you too bro !

I will restrain myself from any attempt to introduce a moment of levity at your expense... for now.

Was it a red pill or a blue pill?

Cherish the memories. Sorry for your loss and may he rest in peace

In around 2016 we (wife, kids, and I) got certified open water diver. I reached out to Dave for some suggestions and he was most polite and accommodating sharing his best recommendations in posts and PMs. Dave was a genuine asset to this forum.

RIP Seattle Diver Dave!

WOW. that sux. RIP Rusty.. man, you just never know when your time is coming..


That being said, I have asked for this for 10+ years to no avail, can we please have a memorandum sticky page that has just the names of those have passed (without comments) so they wont be forgotten and as a place for rememberance..

Good eulogy Jeff, thank you for sharing.

A reminder that we can go at any time, doing any thing.

Cherish our time here.

sad news. RIP Rusty Heap.

Thanks, Jeff. Few of us ever get to immerse ourselves in a completely different world. I think it gives you a unique perspective. Your long friendship is something you will cherish forever. I loved the photos of his adventures and admired his home, aka "the ranch." All the best to you and his family.

Yep, that's a good idea.

RIP Rusty. Play with the Pelicans of past.

Very sorry to hear but also not an uncommon way to go at all, especially as we get older. Probably didn't help that he lived alone and there was no one to call 911 but he probably enjoyed his solitude. It can be wonderful.

Both my grandfather and my dad died not long after taking bathroom falls, GF was in the shower and my dad just passed out and conked his head. Like I said, not uncommon. RIP, Pelican brother. :(

Good point and perhaps a reminder to add a real grab rail in your shower area. A coworker's wife in her late 30's slipped in the tub while showering; he found her when he got home that evening but by that point she had brain damage from swelling. They had a baby who was unattended for that entire time but was OK. Going barefoot in a wet, slick, cast-iron tub is probably one of the more risky things we do without a second thought.
