My head is still spinning over this sad news.

I never got to meet him personally but felt I knew him from his messages. He ALWAYS took time to message me if I posted a question to which he knew the answer.

Loredo/Leadlined,

He also was great at volunteering us for responsibilities and telling us about it later.   Damn I miss him. 


LOL you have that right. Awhile back he told me that he was about to promote me to Senior Instructor. I told him hell no since that sounds like too much work and I refuse. He said it was a done deal and that was that. Now I've gotta grow into my new role.

I got the same when he promoted me to RC. He has big shoes to fill

Someone very wise once shared with me... you don't get promoted around here because you can do the job in the future.  You get promoted because you're already performing at that level.

I hope to share a line with you soon, brother.

I just got back into the country and learned of his passing. 

There may be some, but I personally know of no one, with the exception of The Founder himself, who put more into the Appleseed program.

To say he will be missed is trite but still necessary.
