One of our own is gone - AlphaDog - 05-02-2008
I'm extremely sad to tell you all that our Spearmint died on Tuesday, April 29.
Minty was a troubled soul, and, for some of you, he was a target of derision. There are others of us here who got to know the real guy behind the screen name. We knew what a kind and gentle person he was. He was also extremely intelligent and well educated, and he had a heart of gold. His dream - which he also knew would never be fulfilled - was to have a place where he could live peacefully, surrounded by stray animals to which he could also offer a peaceful home in which to live out their days.
I never communicated with Mint in person, but I treasured him as a friend, and I will miss him very much.

OMG...very sad to hear this. I didn't know him at all, but I tried to follow his posts with concern.

Oh my God. I did not know he was that sick. This is terrible.

Very sorry to hear this. I know that many here ridiculed him but I always had a fondness for his posts.
I noticed that he hadn't posted in a while and was concerned but I thought he might just be dealing with other concerns. . .
He always seemed like a kind, gentle soul. . .
He will be greatly missed!!!

I had a bad feeling when I noticed he had not posted in a bit. I am so sorry to hear this and hope that at last he is at peace.

Although I don't believe I ever responded to his posts, wasn't he from Milwaukee? Sorry to hear about his passing..

Can't say that I paid much attention to any derision but then again I didn't follow many of those posts. Very sad news any way you serve it up.
