and then what?  Did you see/find him?

Kurt??? thoughts he was Shameless Dale of Blair Kneebraska...

  Well , did you go next door?

mmmm, them 'others', maybe them others be them former stockholders gathered there together ...     ?????

 Or did he get abducted by all them illegal ailians thet we hear so much about an now they took up residence there?

  You know the other parts an parcels of Shamerz farm got sold awhile ago to satisfy them blood sucker stockholders and Shamerz got to keep his old place an some acreage.

 Well, JC,,,Ole Shameless goes by several aliases namely Kurt, Dale and most likely a few others,,,Ms, Dee calls him "Dale" so I did as well, when I was there,

 I  just wish ole Les had checked out the house next door as SO many of Shameless,s friends are SO worried bout him,,, i KNOW I am,,,,!!

Wasn't a former resident of Blair gonna try to go visit to look for him?

 If so,,,I can supply an  address north of Blair, NE,,,,,

I guess I might just as well get hollered at by him,,,,,,,,,, it's Curt, not Kurt.

Dang Les, I guess we shoulda tole you bout his new place of business,,,,,,,,,er new abode......He puts a new kitchen area on and you prolly didn't recognize it.

DJ, all I have is a PO Box for him.  I'll have to call you an gits his addy.

Les, are you going back over again?  You could ask the local Gendarme which house is his, or if they know anything about our good buddy.

You can always go back over later and find that infernal machine of his....all you have to do is look for some stolen,,,,,,,er uh,,,,,,,on loan hoses leading to it.

We used to use that term a lot around here prolly 60 years ago.  Still pops up once in a while.

Maybe Les found him and got kidnapped by Dale since they hadn't seen each other for a while.

Make for positive thoughts anyway, that Dale is pulling a shenanigan again, on somebody.

Good to hear from you! Thanks for checking on Shameless. The old saying, "no news is good news" comes to mind here. But something doesnt feel/seem right about this.

Regards,

 Chris and Cheryl

 It's too bad you feel that way about one of the longest term members of this forum who is also one of the most liked and respected members, I have no idea just how long he has been a member but surely one of the longest term guys for sure. I went to go meet him and visit him and his "Loving Wife" last year and he was already fighting several issues with his legs back then, SO, he has been fighting these issues for the longest.

 I talked to him on the phone about 3 weeks ago and he had been in and out of hospitals fighting his blood circulation issues and his legs.

 I,,for one will continue to have faith in Ole Shameless and continue to PRAY for his recovery and hope all his friends here do as well..... THANKS EVERYONE,,,,!!!!!

DJ, I'm with you on this.  Randy doesn't know Dale like we do.  If you've ever met him, you'll know that he doesn't want to be alone.  He's a hell of a guy and a great friend.

If he were able to get on here, he would.

I too fear something is desperately wrong and I'm sending more prayers.

Well,,,I saw where Les posted on Facebook,,so I sent him a request to call me as his voice mail box is full,,,,,hopefully he'll call back,,,,,,,?

 Next is to call his ex-buddies at Blair PD,,,,,?

   Well,,Friends,,,Dee Ann just called me and informed me that Our Friend,, Shameless,,, passed earlier today.  May GOD rest him and his family.

That is bad news, but expected I guess.  Yep, a BIG hole on the forum now.

I heard from Cody who heard from Drawin.  Another great person on this forum and will be missed by all.

I've been trying to find his pic that I took of him at Hutch the year he went.  I've got quite a few external hard drives and I'll have to search.  Anybody know what year it was when he was there?  It'll make my search a little easier.  It was an honor to have met the man.

RIP good buddy!  Prayers are going out to Deanna at this heartbreaking time.

I'll post his pic as soon as I find it.  He would like that.  I threatened him with exposure many a time......you don't want to know what he said in reprisal.

A sad day indeed!  I'm sure going to miss 'ol Shameless, especially his comments about me leavin' the door open so all our cold Alberta air could drift down his way.  He was a one-of-a-kind man and will sure be missed by the Orange family.  Prayers and condolences for Dee Ann and any other family.

I know he battled many health problems over the last several years, but he always kept his sense of humor and fun.  Only complaints were always about those Shareholders and fortunately he finally got that resolved.  R.I.P. old friend.

Day'um that Shameless... goes dies on my birthday... March 2nd.

  Not ever actually getting to meet him in person, he was a friend.

  Teased him some and he in return teased us all...  like the time of the Shameless triplets... 

  Kinda thought it did not help what those stockholders did to him been better if they had just left him live as he had always done.

Have missed and will miss his postings... But Mz Dee will feel the loss the most.

  Lord I pray that you send the Comforter to DeeAnn and give her peace and laughter and good memories that Dale had created between them for the years to come. amen 

 One less of the family here.  

JC

Dennis

  Hard to replace characters such as himself, RIP.

So many stories', bits of advice, or a reprimand, never held back. You knew his option. Just will not be the same here without him. 

I started another thread titled: "Our Buddy Shameless".  Go there to look at pics of him and leave remarks there now.  We'll make that a testimonial to him and I'll try to figure out a way to get it to Deanna.

Thanks guys........OH, no tears...they're NOT good for your keyboard.

My thoughts on Dale, er Shamless,

I'm pretty sure it was 2016 when he attended Hutch when he and I met, he was setting in a golf cart that he claimed he "borrowed", I don't know if that was true or not.  Anyway Pat the Plumber and several other forum regulars were hanging around. I got a couple pictures taken then and a couple more the next time I saw him a couple years later, while returning from Hutch.  He gave me a tour of the place with stories of how he came to own the treasures.  We talked several times on the phone over the years, the last time in January, when I asked, he said he wasn't doing very well but still had hopes of getting better and said he would get online to thank everyone for the cards he received.  Some of the stuff he told me may have been on the forum or from phone calls so it may be old history.  As you knew, he really did not like his two brothers, the "Stockholders".  One time he asked me to go over to the one brothers place that is about 4 miles from me here in Colorado and spray a 4 letter word and YOU on his lawn with Roundup.  I'm pretty much sure he was serious as he offered to pay for the Roundup!

As most of you know, his brothers outvoted him, first to take away the operation of the family farm and then to sell it.  They claimed they took the farm away because they were concerned with his health, who knows if that was the real reason.  It really upset him when the "Green farmer" took over the place and dozed out the conservation structures he had built years earlier.  Not making as much per acre yield  as he had didn't make him happy either. When they voted to sell the farm and he called their bluff by insisting he get 1/3d of the farm, they weren't happy but gave in when he called a lawyer.   I think the reason he bought the CIH tractor was that he was able to climb into it easier as his legs were getting worse.  When I talked to him earlier in the fall, even though he had not finished combining, he sounded so happy that he was back on the farm he grew up on.  As someone said, it was only right that he got to grow and harvest one more crop.  We are going to miss that ornery old guy, but our lives are better because of the thousands of posts he made over the years.  

If his old lady, er Loving wife, has an auction, would someone in the area please go and bid whatever it takes to procure that evil "machine"?  I'm sure it's in the shed in front of the AC G combine, the one place he wouldn't show me.  

Rest in Peace my friend.     BTW I'm also known as JohnCo and John Colo but for the fourth time I could not get on the site without changing my handle,  aarrgh!

I figured it was you John.  Coming to Hutch this year for a celebration in honor of him?

GOOD, BRING peaches.  LOL   

Post the pics on the other thread PLEASE!  "Our Buddy Shameless"  If you can't, send em to me.  Your number still end in 9540?

Hey Ted, I'd like to come but the peach season it in full swing at Hutch time, hard to get away.  Maybe...

Yup, same number

I've got to find the pics first!

Hey John, Maybe spray that lawn in memory now in Shamelless's honor.    

 or do a total flyover.      

I know Shamerz would love that. 

   And YES,  Post them pictures when ye find them!

It is good to see you are Ok John. I have been wondering about you. 

OK guys we need a few shenanigans to really honor Shameless.
