My prayers and thoughts to his family.
Hurc and I had a few spats on this BBS but I am glad that we eventually found common ground and made some peace.
Thanks to all of the military who fight for our peace and freedom.
Wow. To be such a small, tight knit community, we have seen a lot of heroes in our midst.
Prayers go out to his family for raising a son willing to pay the unlimate price for us to have the freedom we somtimes forget to appreciate.
We've had the opportunity to watch him grow up -
From wooden bumpers and snowbanks, his first non woodworking tools, his first grinder, his first welder, his first carburetor rebuild, his first engine swap, antics with off road racing etc, clear up to a magazine worthy rollover.
He was always willing to try new things, to forge ahead, even when he had no idea what he was getting into. That's how you learn, that's how you become a leader.
He'll be sorely missed!
If there's off roading where he is now, you can count on him being in the midst of it.
"Hurc" was one of the first to get involved in my project, thru this forum. He had some wild ideas, but wasn't afraid to try 'em!
Damn, it's like a family member has passed...
He's in my prayers.
I have had a tough time acknowledging the passing of this fine brave young hero. My oldest is a veteran of EVERY sand box engagement so far and it tighens my gut every time I hear of a passing. My son will be on leave this summer with my two grandsons and I will cherish every moment of the freedom he and his brothers in arms have given us all. RIP Hurc

Aint that the truth! He would question anyones ideas about repairs and other issues, but it was not becuase he didn't think you were right, he just wanted it explained fully. It's how smart people get really smart.
He hadn't graced this board in a while, probably too busy, it's a shame!
I remember the wooden 2x8 bumper, I think I have a picture of it somewhere.
