Bunch of great cigars...bottle of booze, Mardi Gras beads, a custom pirate looking letter...burned at the edges with a lot of ye and ol in it all packaged in a humidor. He used to come down to Florida to visit family.
We would talk at least once a month. I valued our long distance friendship. When I saw Michael's post that he had passed I thought this was one of his gags. When I signed his guest page at the funeral home I knew this wasn't a joke. It felt like someone kicked me in the stomach.
I miss him and his humor. Being in on the joke from afar and watching people take the bait and laughing either over the phone or through pm here.
RIP....Cowboys still suck.
Yep......regret the hell out of not going to Green Bay and meeting him up there for the Pack/Cowboys game only a couple of months before he passed. I just figured there was time. When he got hurt, I asked if he needed help with his business or anything. I get a lot of vacation at my work and was ready to go but being a dip$hit....er....uh....proud Texan, he would have none of it. I coulda helped Pedro and didn't even need a new hose to drink from! Hell....now I don't even care if the Cowboys win or not....although, you're right. They still suck.
Like you, Wheel and I would fight or he or I would bait some newb and on PM or the phone, we would laugh and laugh. Wheelrite was an obnoxious, misogynistic jackass that could get under anyone's skin. Bill Bark was a decent, hardworking man that loved and was soooo proud of his family and would give you the shirt off his back and laugh while doing it. I miss them both.
