I'm just saying that this whole situation sucks.  There, I said it.  Might be the beers talking now, but whatever.

 

I feel terrible for the whole family, I really do.  Don was an integral part of this CC family, as I'm sure he was also on other, good-old-fashioned posting boards.  Facebook, Instagram, and all of the rest of the new social mediums be damned.  They are just not the same.

 

Don was an OG member of the Yahoo group that started this whole thing.  He and the rest of us are a vanishing breed, sadly.

 

Sorry about the small rant, I feel better now.

 

RIP, Cheif

I was so close to getting to drive to Huntsville to meet him and give him my old load sensing valve  I wish I could be there but I'm signing on a lease for a house and doing a charity event for Special Olympics that day. I'm going to miss hornbrod a lot... Don was one of the first guys on here to message me and get to know me and he really motivated me to keep going with my Jeeps.

I'm not even sure what to do.  I'm just... do-in.  one thing at a time.  until I feel less numb.

I'm really sorry to hear about this.  He was a cornerstone to the community, and will be missed.

Knucklehead,

 

Think Don would be quite pleased to see you taking care of business.  So don't worry about it.  Us old guys enjoy seeing younger people grow and mature.  Be they our kids or other kids.
