    Default 21 Gun Salute - for Gaffer

    Unfortunately this morning around 10:30 am...........

    Gaffer decided he had enough of this f%^ked up world....and gave one good kick to the foot board before he moved on. (leave it to dad to make a dramatic exit)

    He was my hero and will be deeply missed.

    I am so sorry and so saddened to hear this. I hope he is in peace now. Gaffer is loved and will be missed by all of us here at DP.

    I hope you don't mind, Trinity, but I added "- for Gaffer" to the title to ensure others read this thread and are aware.

    Hit refresh on the main page or F5 for a hard refresh. With permission from Trinity, I redid the upper left banner a bit. I added a second black ribbon to honor Gaffer in our memories and a permanent member of our board. This will remain forever.

    I'm so sorry, Trinity.

    No words are ever enough (especially when such words are an attempt to express the way we feel and the comfort we hope to pass on to a loved one or friend in these dark days). How can one really say anything even close to touching base with what someone of Gaffer's standing, his life and what he's meant to each and every one of us!

    I lost mom just a few days before Christmas of 2012 so I know the betrayal you may possibly be feeling right now. This is one of the warmest, meaningful times of the year but it can equally be as cruel and lonely. Just keep your chin up and KNOW that you have the "stuff" that Gaffer had cuz he has now passed the "I'm a tough son-of-a-GUN" torch on to you.

    Trinity, just know that you are not alone and across the miles, you have MANY praying for you....regardless of the distances that kindred hearts have between them.

    GOD BLESS TRUE AMERICANS SUCH AS G
    AFFER! SALUTE!!!!

    My friend Eddie was the one kind enough to help me with the latest images. I asked him to do the black ribbons, and he was kind enough to make some additional choices for us to look at. Let me know what you guys think - and Trinity, let us know your thoughts if you see this.
