Rest in peace in this circle of life

damn, in my years of lurking the dude's posts made me laugh more than once for sure. i remember a particular rant on hippies that was hilarious a year or two back. i always respected his "tough-love" attitude around here, i saw him piss off more than a few people but you could tell he was doing it because he cared and liked giving advice based on his own personal experiences. RIP man.

RIP Zappa. I always enjoyed his additions to the music sections. He grew up in the prog era and he always had cool music to share.
I wanted to share this with him a couple weeks ago or so, but now I know why that wasn't possible.

Hey, this must be the VERY LAST one! Posted for my own benefit and the site, enjoy! (I sometimes read the last sentence in a book before I read the whole thing.)
"I have been with Chase for decades and never once had a problem. And clearly some people have had problems with Bitcoins since 5% of all bitcoins in existence have disappeared. Can you even imagine that happening with conventional currency?"
RIP ZIG!
wherever you are!

If you have a way of passing a message back to her, you should tell her most of us were very fond of him, even the ones who butted heads with him. Maybe even especially the ones who butted heads with him.

Burke Dennings said: I found this pic of him while searching google for an obit. It was part of an article that NBC published five years ago about storms and power outages in his area. I like it.

He looks just like I pictured him.
I wish his family the best, laying someone to rest is incredibly stressful. He seemed like he was very organized so hopefully a lot of that was already lined up.
I have missed him these last few weeks. He added such a strong voice to the boards. And while being a little rough, from the stories told in this thread, he may have been one of the most shroomey members we had.
I'm going to go smoke up right now in his honor. (I know he wasn't a pothead)
Love you ZiG!

She's heard that we thought highly of him.
Nobody is mentioning this site, just being vague "online friends"

It would be pretty far out if your grandpa or father passed away, and a couple weeks later, you find out he was a huge irreplaceable figure in a magic mushroom cultivation forum online.
The guy was a grade A American badass.

Yeah, I won't be mentioning the Shroomery to her. She seems to know he has a lot of friends online, though .

Why not? It might be nice for her to be able to look through his posts when she misses having him around.

I think if he chose to keep this part of his life private there was a reason and if not she already knows.

If she directly asks me certain questions then at that point I would think about it, but not guarantee I'd tell her... I'd probably run it by a few of his mutual friends here and ask their opinion. I'd like to respect his privacy still..

We disagreed on nearly everything but I feel the loss to our community and I will miss him, I already do.

Oh man..how terrible. thanks schlong for being the bearer of bad news - couldn't have been an easy thread to make.
My thoughts are with his wife, his kids, and his cats.

Fair enough. Privacy is a big deal, even in death. For what its worth I think youve handled it perfectly so far.

Can't imagine her reading her dad arguing with a bunch of punks like us would be a good healing technique.
