Truckinbutch now drinking angel shares

Post by ga flatwoods »

It is with much sorrow that I have been asked by Mrs. Truckinbutch to announce to this group that he passed this afternoon due to complications resulting from and ongoing battle with poor blood circulation is both legs. He passed at home with his family around him. He chose his path. Time is short folks, choose yours wisely.
Truckinbutch loved this forum and the folks here in. I for one will miss him outside of this forum.

Very sad news indeed. He was a big inspiration to me when designing my double 15.5 keg rig. Rip.

Very sad. My sincerest condolences to all of his family and friends. This community has lost a valuable member and I will pour an extra glass in his honor.
I just read an article about the dangers of drinking that scared the crap out of me.

That’s it. No more reading!

HD would be a much different place without Truckinbutch. I'm going to tip a glass for him as I'm sure many of you are as well.

RIP friend.

Although I didn't know him, it's clear that he was loved by this community.
I'll be pouring one for him when I get home.

RIP, brother.

Sorry to hear this. I have always enjoyed TB’s comments. His humor and “matter of fact” wisdom brings a smile and “a wink” to me every time. Indeed, he will be missed and his legacy will sustain into the future here.

Mrs. TB, our hearts grieve with your loss. Be strong. You and your family are in our prayers.

My first meeting on this forum with him was his announcement that he blocked me.
I did not really care, for I on my part liked him, although I had my doubts about some of his opinions. But I always tried to read what he wrote, because it was worth while. I sometimes cite a joke of his daughter!
Later he apparently softened towards me, which I appreciated.

Sad for us he left, but at least he can drink angels share as much as he wants without danger for his health. And without hangover, as the qoran promisses! (Good thinking of the great boss, I say!)

I wish his wife, his other relatives and his pets all the strength they need.

I’m in shock, that hits home to me. He was a great person and I enjoyed every minute with him. I know I’m not on the site often but I enjoyed all the time in rendezvous with everyone. Butch was a classic, you do not replace people like him. I will miss that deep gravelly voice and the wonderful welcoming he gave.
RIP BUTCH
