I miss the cranky old f*cker.

Third beer is for Gaffer , who was my friend.
I bet he'd have a big smile reading that one. His tone when posting here was always civil, polite but direct and to the point. He had tons of discipline , something I lack yet we became great friends. So much so that one of my great regrets was in my not finding a way to go meet him,especially after finding out about his illness. Had my health and family duties not been so severe at the time perhaps I would have been able to arrange it.
I never served in the military but to me he was a brother.. we had a spiritual kinship it did seem.
Gaffer was top class A, all the way. Miss him a lot. -Tyr
