Oddjob lives right around the corner from me. I have not seen him in years and his 911 would be easy to spot around here too. I may ride past his baby-poo brown walled compound today and rev my engine

That's funny about Dipso. He is around close by. I have messaged him, but not for awhile. This thread can bring back some memories. Let's all hope Paul doesn't become a memory. John, you're right about belonging here.

I was thinking about last fall and how you 'roped' me into this gig. Even though I’ve been around this community about as long, you’ve always had a much better handle on the personalities and the way things flow here. I’m truly going to miss having your hand on the internal compass.

I’ve been thinking a lot about our chats and our common interests over the years. I regret letting the distance keep me from taking you up on that invite to visit. I wish I’d made the trip.

I’m sorry to hear. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
I still have the propeller you gave me years ago in the X-Mas exchange. It sits on top of a book shelf in my man cave. I look at it every day.

Seahawk has been a calming influence in the roiled seas of PARF, that’s one thing for sure. It’s a great tribute to the man that voices from all across the political spectrum clearly agree that he is a stand up guy and has their sincere respect.

He strikes me as a tough old b@$t**d so I’m not counting him out yet and hope he reappears here one day at least for a cameo to spread calm and common sense. But if it’s his time I pray he is comfortable and at peace knowing he has made a real difference in this world.

Gratuitous dog pic, Ayla looks just like me only prettier. She sends licks.

The man is a legend.

I was a little stunned by how much this hit me.
I have only interacted with him here and a few funny PMs when he needed to brush me back from the plate for some parf stuff.

Prayers for him and his crew.

Seahawk and family after reading the thread yesterday and while praying, something came to me.

Psalms 23. It helps during struggles.

I'm not generally at a loss for words but this has left me stuttering in disbelief.

Paul is best described (for me) as the best friend I've never met.

I'm praying for a miracle.

I've tried to post twice (much longer posts) that aren't getting thru CF nonsense...

Many of us are simply stunned ... and at a loss ...

Just floundering here too....

Be well Paul... and go in peace ... YOU made a difference ... and I am a better person because of you... and everyone else here too.

Thank you sir!

He sent me a thoughtful PM after I posted in the dawgy thread years ago...

I'll never forget

Paul, I pulled out the Motown vinyl record collection that you sent me to enjoy. It brings me happiness. It also brings my dog happiness!

I'm praying for a full recovery.

Seahawk is the only pelican that I came close to meeting(he stopped at the restaurant on his way to VMI).

When I first heard he was going to take on a moderator role for PARF, I sent him a note
basically asking if he had lost his mind (in so many words), commented on how it was a no-win sitch and herding feral cats, and wished him luck in the endeavor.

Oh was I surprised at how well he handled it, solving the unsolvable puzzle and making it look easy from my vantage.
Something I could never envision myself or pretty much anyone else pulling off.
The better man was revealed.
