It is with a heavy heart and great sadness I must announce the passing my friend The Guitarman. He was not just my friend here but IRL as well. Gman and I met when I first signed on to this site. He was one of the first people I met and he was the third admin, I was the fourth. He enjoyed this site and enjoyed the friendships he made here. We would meet routinely for lunch and drinks IRL because we discovered early we lived so close together. He was funny, politically astute and one hell of a guitar player. I already miss him. Usually, I am a word smith but tonight there are no words to express my deep sadness. I am sorry for his passing but I am not sorry I got to know him. Words escape me. Please excuse my feeble attempt to convey how much I enjoyed his company. I can never do him justice. Good bye my good friend!!
