Figured out what really happened to Coot:

This is Bear. He's 8 years old. When he goes, they will have to put me down as well.

Poor dog

Can't help wondering if they put Bear down...

Actually, this thread for the most part is a wonderful tribute to CCC. Except for a few posts, I think it would be great for his wife/partner/girlfriend/whatever to read how you all felt about him.

Yup. True story, and I thought it was here on GCMB, but it must have been near the end of GSMB. I had randomly posted about a Vietnam vet who worked at Ft Knox in the 1990's that was relevant to the conversation. TWO YEARS after that post, a new member joined the board because a Google search of his name brought up the post. It was his daughter and she wanted to thank me for the kind words and memories about her Dad and how he had loved that job and what I'd said about him in regard to his job at Knox and his Vietnam story.

It happens.

Deet, I'm almost positive that was here. I remember that whole exchange. She was really touched by your story.

Pretty sure that was here. Wasn't it not too long ago that they came on here?

And GBM defeats @URGatorBait in a photo finish!

@Gator By Marriage and @URGatorBait I think it was here too, but my weak "powers of search" turn up nuthin'! No PMs either and I'm pretty positive she and I had an exchange there as well.

I don't think it was here.

I still miss him.

Didn't interact with him much, but it was truly a joy reading his writings.
