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.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word. ~ Gaffer

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.

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 GAFFER! SALUTE!!!!

I hope this video and the one before are a comfort to you, Trinity. At a time like this, it is sometimes best to hold someone's hand but since we can't do that, please know that comfort is all around you...or at least trying to reach you.
It was my hope that Gaffer would be around MUCH longer but, secondly, I hoped and prayed that if Gaffer wasn't to get better, he'd not have to endure the pain and suffering that mom went through with her cancer. Having said this, I long to HEAR Gaffer's voice one day instead of simply read his posts and if we could hear Gaffer now, he'd probably be telling us something like; "over here, the sun always shines.....we're having a time, if you only knew":

A great loss for all that knew him. Your father helped me several times by way of giving great advice over these few years I knew him.
We had email chats over these years as well as pms here and in the emails he spoke even more candidly and as a true friend. No way can I express in mere words my admiration adequately for his thoughtful and generous words of advice and encouragement.
O' that my son grow up to be such an honorable and principled man!
God bless.. -Tyr

I'm going to miss him greatly. He was a good man, I know that even though I never met him in person.
I know your sorrow, Trinity. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Farewell, Gaffer.

I shall certainly miss Gaffer. He always struck me as being a man of great integrity, someone whose views and personality commanded much respect and made a considerable contribution here.
We are much the poorer for his departure .. from DP, and from life.
My deepest sympathy for your loss, Trinity.
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
