to call the war insane, take one moment,
to embrace these gentle heroes you left behind.

(4,113 posts)We spoke often on the phone and he was coming to stay with me to help canvass and then I quit hearing from him. Then I got a message from him apologizing and saying he was sick. A few weeks later today his friend contacted me and told me he was dead. Im not sure Im over it yet.

Not only was Bob, aka Pinboy, DUs quickest wit ever, we learned after his passing of all his great work to help fellow vets. What a guy.

(23,247 posts)It really brings out the human to the name. For those who, like me, never got to meet him in person, it lets us see him as a real person, not just a screen name. That's important.
