tOfficial 2018 Death Thread

by **Floyd Robertson** 12/02/18, 11:31 am

I've decided that one thread listing the departures of anyone you see fit would be a great idea and we should do it annually.

So I'll start.

RIP, Art Van, 87.

I hope they have a nice box for him made out of particle board.

Edit: No idea how the thread title became purple, but it's nice. flower

Edit: And now it's not purple. Sad.

You may not know the name, but you probably recognize the face, and certainly the voice. Gone at 59

Has anyone lived longer than Hawking after being diagnosed with ALS? I'm guessing some people have, but don't you usually only last a few years?

He actually had the slow developing kind of ALS, but 40+ years is still pretty amazing.

By the way, if you haven't seen "Theory of Everything", I think it's one of the best from Hollywood in the 21st century.

Hmm, I didn't know there were two different types of ALS. And yeah, I've seen Theory of Everything. Pretty good.

My dad was is Vietnam during the Tet offensive, but does not talk much about the war.

My dad was in the Korean War, protecting the Nebish Island lighthouse while in the US Coast Guard. We used to tease him about that, and he’d always say there were two buses, one for the USCG, and one for the Navy, and that he accidentally got on the wrong bus.

Always thought the CG would be fun, especially on the Great Lakes. Probably not so much at sea during war time...

And dad did his job, too. Not one Korean hostile invaded the Great Lakes, let alone Nebish Island, during his time in the service.
