I miss Zeke and Dottore

[rusnak]

at last! Mystery solved!! hahaha! I knew I should have gone for "Man o War" or something more in character.

[74-911]

I always made it a point to read Zeke and Dottore's posts. Hopefully Zeke will wander back this way in time, Dottore: RIP. His always thoughtful and intelligent posts will be sorely missed.

there is no sharper wit than burnin's..that guy would obliterate most in a "cut down" fight.

he just pinged me via email about some wilderness news..so he is doing well. busy i suppose..he has an awesome family..i wouldnt post much either with that family.

Dottore..RIP sir!!

ZEKE-MILT..was a funny grumpy man..it was fun watching him develop into a curmudgeon..i scurried off "his lawn"many times.

[rusnak]

very sad about Dottore.

[aigel]

I don't miss Milt too much. Too negative. At least for a forum I visit to be entertained and amused.

I do miss Dottore. He has a lot of depth and is well traveled. Too bad we cannot find closure on his whereabouts. I still hope he just stopped posting ...

Has it been confirmed that Dottore has actually passed? If so, R.I.P, I will miss his posts and interactions with him.

Not actually confirmed... I really hope he just dropped out and is doing well somewhere exotic.

I would postulate that maybe Burnin and Zeke (and others) might be turned away by the younger hipsters that seem to be posting here more and more.

Or perhaps it is the same old, same old nature of much of the conversation here.

Some of us have been around so much, for so long, that we don't leave much room for new guys and their thoughts. Sorry Squire, scratched your record...

Within a few private conversations with Mark I came to realize that he had spent some time and study in order to better deal with his own mortality. We both have faced Cancer in our life, and I was very unsure and afraid of my own future. He was a bigger influence in my life than he would ever get a chance to know. I don't have confirmation of his passing but can only assume that if he was still with us he would be checking in on some of us and our own journeys through life.
Its funny....He is just a guy I talked to thru an internet forum. never met him in real life but I miss him.
ps....It is not an overstatement to say that this man may have saved my life, he surely saved my sanity.

Dottore had a certain elegance about him. Zeke came across as being practical and curmudgeonly kind of like myself. So I am not alone in my status - it transcends borders. It is good to see the young uns come onto this forum. Refreshing.

As an aside and I have said this before that members here should pm a phone number to a friend on the forum and if they go missing a quick phone call should establish what happened to that member.

Keep it coming everybody. You rock! G.

Sammy has taken over from the crusty Milt/Zeke.....he used to be real sociable and once counted both as friends when I lived faraway, now in the OC....no mas.

[speeder]

That's funny, I thought Sammy was getting nicer lately.

If any of you have Dottore's last address feel free to send it to me. I travel extensively and would try to track him down...

[jorian]

I do hope that rumours of Dottore's death are greatly exaggerated.

I believe he lives(d) a few minutes from me. I did have an informal invite from him to check out his G50 at some point. I have an 87 and he has an 88 if memory serves. We also have the 997 in common which he was also fond of.

If someone does have an address I could pop by.

Having been here for well over a decade (changed from my real name to this ridiculous one several years back), it really is haunting how many have gone away for any number of reasons. I think Warren's departure (EarlySMan) was the first that really hit home, as he was so helpful when I was waist deep in semi-youthful enthusiasm in my early Porsche years.

The list will grow fellas...an unfortunate fact of life. But Pelican has been a very positive respite from the turbulence of life over these years. It gets in your blood.

God speed to those who have made it to the other side. Let's meet for a beer when the rest of us arrive.

[dipso]

Milt is doing fine, I saw him the other day. We live near each other.

Same here!
