The time comes. Came for me a few times.

There was a member here boogerowen, Gordon Owen from Oklahoma. Passed nearly three years ago. If you all remember, his only son had died as an adult, then his wife passed, then a wildfire sweeping through the state wiped out his farm, lost everything including all his tractors.

I pmd him a few times, he was a very sad man. It appears he never really recovered from the fire, and passed on about age 80. I suspect the man died of a broken heart...Trev.

I was wondering the same thing about a few people. I have been checking in here since we got the internet in our little town, probably 97 or 98. I don’t see Skipwelte, Skyhighballoon or SteveJelf post much any more. I always enjoyed there post

Well know what you mean. People come and go on this site.
I still remember Brian from Australia. We really got close but he just dropped out of site. I went as far as to check the obituaries in his area.
Frankly I miss them all.
Good Luck!

Yes, when someone mentions the name you know it. Yes, we're missing a lot of people and one of these days,,,,,,,,but I'm not planning on it yet. My old lady,,,,,,,,,er,,,,,the better half says I'm too ornery.

Giving a persons real name when you sign up or later on you can edit and your home town, it would allow a person to look at your home town newspaper or other ways here on the net to check.

Yes, we're missing a lot of good BS'ers......

Monitor doc passed from cancer. Someone posted it but that was over 2yrs ago.He had just repaired my monitor the fall before and I had quite a good conversation on the phone with him prior to sending it to him.I didn't get a chance to tell him it worked because he was gone by then. I have planted 2 seasons since repaired.
