Default This may be inapproiate

and if it is I am very sorry.

But last year at this date we all wished Xgrunt a Happy Birthday, and a few days later he passed.

He is still on our minds, and the General upstairs is taking good care of him.

Just a somber thought.

SALUTE !!!!!!!!!!!

enough........

Unhappy

It ought to be here Reeb , thanks. I think of Frank every day. Was going to ride down and see him today but it's raining and I got to work. Wouldn't have stopped Frank but it stopped me. Frank was my friend and burn advisor but mostly my friend. I was at his last birthday party and a grand time was had by all. I still talk to him and listen to him .I see him all over the place , in a sunrise and standing next to me while I am riding his bike on the interstate doing 90. Riding in memory of Frank " Torch " Skokan. Going to be a tough day. Happy Birthday Frank ! Don't mean nothing

Default Reeb...

Never knew Frank. But, I'm sure from the words of his Friends that "He" was one-helluva-guy.

Regardless, and if any consulation to his Family and Friends,...there should be no doubt whatsoever that "Frank" now resides; "In a much better place" and certainly appreciates any such fine rememberances of Him UP THERE.

Happy Birthday Frank.

Neil

May God welcome another fallen brother with open arms. May he watch over him and keep him in heaven's army.

Rest in peace Frank. You were one of the first I "talked" to on the old History Channel forum. You are not forgotten.

Reeb,
Never appologize for remembering a good friend like Frank. He touched so many of us. I only knew him a short time, but I could tell instantly that he was golden. Just like you, mister. You can't fool me.

May god heal the hurt in your heart that was left when Frank moved on.

I wouldn't doubt he's got a terminal up there and is monitoring all his favorite web sites. He knows who cares about him and he knows there isn't anything he can change. But he also knows his friends and he picked them well. RIP
