RIP RAT.....

AFAIK he never mentioned it on the forum, but he was inside the WTC on 9/11.

"Well, my book is writtenâ€"let it go. But if it were only to write over again there wouldn't be so many things left out. They burn in me; and they keep multiplying; but now they can’t ever be said. And besides, they would require a libraryâ€"and a pen warmed-up in hell." - S. Clemens, 1889

Fair winds and following seas RAT..

This sucks... 

God bless Rat... You and your family are in my prayers.

sad news.

gods speed mate.

 I'm a firefighter, we receive all FF death and injury reports to use as remembrance and for training.  There has been many firefighters and basically any one involved or near the burning towers have some form of cancer or rare medical problem.

fear of death has never played large in my family culture...if it doesn't find us we wind up tracking it down one way or another

usually if it finds us first we are asking it why it took some long

now this is not to say I don't care its just that I have had one hell of a good run

and could call it a wrap in good conscience....seriously what's ahead at age 61? senile dementia, diapers, a failing mind and carcass...no thanks

most of my battle here is for the benefit of my loved ones

for some odd reason they want  me around longer 

  RIP brother...

The big C sucks.

I did battle with it last year.

It taught me to live, to love, and to not sweat the little stuff.

Life is short.  You may not have a tomorrow.

Rest in peace, Rat.

Rip RAT I was pulling for you...

RIP. We shared some good laughs and some good jokes.  You will be missed

RIP....

Dammit.

He will be missed ferociously.

Godspeed.

I may be too old to remember this correctly but wasn't RAT the one who posted the incredibly funny and well written post/story about the mime in NY who got punched out by a passby who obviously wasn't in the mood for mime bullshit? I believe it was and just thinking about it still makes me laugh!

His posts, thoughts and insights were awesome. A truly gifted individual. What a loss for everyone. Again, one of the many, many folks on this board I have never met face to face but would love to. As nice as that would have been I have a good feeling that we all knew him pretty well.

RIP Gerry. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family and all your friends... on the DMF and every where else.
