And in that time that when men decide, and feel safe,
to call the war insane, take one moment,
to embrace these gentle heroes you left behind.

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. I’m not sure I’m over it yet.

I’m sure when Pinboy rang the door buzzard at the COMMON ENTERENCE to the Heavenly Condo, St. Peter flew in a flutter to welcome him to the celestial flock!


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

Never forget the DiabeticMan thread. I think someone reposts it every year around Christmas.

Hilarious, but that was just one of many.

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.

Was an amazing and kind person. Was very sad when I heard, because we'd made plans to meet up. I wished I went to see him before he passed.
