crosscreekcooter passes to the other side - RIP my friend

[ThreatMatrix]

That's really sad news. I enjoyed his company. He will be missed.

 

[heavychevy]

Been a while since I’ve visited and didn’t expect to see this.
RIP Coot, ya legend.

God bless you Cooter.
From some of the comments I’m reading above I’ve realized that we may all share some of the same sentiment towards the members of this board. I too was shocked and saddened with the news of CC Cooter, and I wouldn’t have known him if I passed him on the street, yet here I was trying to explain to my wife why I was upset over someone I’ve never met on that (her words) “stupid Gator web page” I’m on all the time.

Sure, she probably dislikes sharing my time with all of y’all. It just goes to show that we don’t lose connection behind faceless social media. I think we can reflect back on take Cooter’s loss as a moment to appreciate the friends we have here.

This is a good post. Coot went beyond the Chatter, which was born in 2014, way back for many years on the GSMB. I joined the GSMB in the summer of 2007 so I "knew" and interacted with cooter for 14 years. When that old board folded, he was the 10th member to sign up here on the first day.

It's easy to get attached to people that you've never even met over such a long period of time. It certainly proves you can be friends with someone you've never physically met.

He was a very good guy, Smart and funny. And even with my status he never tried to make me feel outside the box. My avatar is for his memory. It says Cross Creek in small type at the bottom. Liscence plates from back in the day. A little Wild Turkey for him tonite probably.

RIP Cooter, I didn’t know you as well as most on here, but your presence on this board will be greatly missed!

 

[Bushmaster]

Wow. 2 board members I have read a lot from this week. Damn. This sucks.

 

[5-Star Finger]

I hope he got to enjoy at least a little of that other thread. RIP.

Cooter sauce is always free.

Now I know what to do with all these geoducks.

 

[GatorRaz]

Dang hate to hear this news. Always liked to read his comments. RIP Coot!

 

[CaribGator]

Yes , heart attack sent him to the hospital, had some stents put in, then complications arose.. he was feisty and battling good in the beginning. He kept his spirit up throughout it all. Helluva man

Kindly keep the ghey out of Cooters thread.

 

[itsgr82bag8r]

RIP Cooter. You’re responsible for a lot of smiles & happy thoughts. We’ll miss you. Praying for his family to find peace.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Hospital-acquired?

Arent they usually? Im not clear. Maybe @Detroitgator will know more.

 

[oxrageous]

Coot would probably be annoyed if he found out his family is about to get filthy rich on a wrongful death lawsuit without him.
