One of our own is gone

[Jimmypoo]

Good GOD, he got on my nerves sometimes.

And at other times, he was just "good clean fun....." Although everyone can relate to Cubs tales, you really only connect if you've lived there (in that 50 mile radius).... or were socialized with WGN as part of your life... the '69 Cubs, the area, downtown, etc.

People just dropping out of your life, even as slight as the forum socialization is, can really be an eye-opener. Not for some, who place no value upon you while you're here, at least not until it's too late.

I'm just glad I had a few PM exchanges (multi-forum) with him relatively recent that were helpful to him, in some way, and that we get a chance to read an obit that will perhaps shed a little more light on who he was.

I am certain he was far more than we really could imagine.
