  RIP, Chief. I've missed fussing with you, and never doubted that you were 'salt of the earth.' My condolences to the family.

  I will really miss him here, and my condolences to his family.  I know he was Army, but I'll still wish him fair winds and following seas.

  In my humble opinion he was the very best of this forum. I only met him in real once, but that was a great time. I can't believe he's gone. RIP my friend.

  We are not so far away, and we both have lots of leave saved, so we are taking the drive up and saying Farewell to Big Chief Friday.

  If I was a bit closer I'd be there with y'all. Anyway, give his girls our condolences, he was a great guy. This forum will miss him something terrible.

  Haven't been on for awhile:  New Zealand trip and some knee surgery after I got back (surgery was scheduled before the trip).

  Sorry to see this.  Dealing with loss is always hard

  Went to the funeral and graveside service. The military honors were very touching, literally brought tears to my eyes. The family was MOST gracious, and it was good to see Teach and Diver. The "Patriot Riders" are good folk.

  Goddess Bless you, Big Chief. You are missed.

  Yes indeed the Patriot Guard helped see BC off in style.
