Charlie McDonald Member From: Lubbock, Texas, USA	posted 18 June 2006 05:59 AM profile quote: It's been brought to my attention that this thread might have been meant to be "more serious". (Thank goodness it wasn't.) quote: If it was, the serious thoughts I hoped it would bring out... is that we'd find out how much of our humor/love we wish to leave behind. "And in the end... The love you take Is equal to the love you make." (Happy Birthday and Father's Day to Sir Paul.) And Happy Dad's day to all. My own Dad left a lot of love behind. I'm glad he didn't take it with him.
Pat Burns Member From: Branchville, N.J. USA	posted 18 June 2006 07:12 AM profile Eric, hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of updating a portion of your obit quote: ..cost of fuel being what it is, cremation plans were abandoned and his Earthly Remains were tossed into Sugar Creek, in the Paulina District of the Ochoco Nat Forest, on a sunny day, to eventually float to the ocean. ...kind of like a working class Viking funeral. I guess for my own, I'd choose something like quote: Pat Burns...and it's nobody's fault but his own.
Jim Sliff Member From: Hermosa Beach California, USA	posted 18 June 2006 07:25 AM profile "Jim Sliff, age 102, passed away yesterday in a Torrance hospital from gunshot injuries suffered while exiting a second floor bedroom window of a Hermosa Beach home. No comment was made by the woman living in the house, but the husband was arrested and charged with murder shortly after the incident". "Mr. Sliff spent 40 years in the coatings industry and periodically did consulting for an undisclosed southern California-based musical instrument conglomerate. He was a beginning pedal steel player at the time of his death. Funeral services have been delayed until an organist can be found who tunes ET." "Headstone will read: "No Chops, but Great Tone". He will be interred in a casket surrounded by RCA Blackplate 6L6 tubes and an assortment of small pulleys and 1/16" wire rope with loop ends and turnbuckles."

Michael Breid Member From: Eureka Springs, Arkansas, USA	posted 19 June 2006 07:26 PM profile After I'm cremated and my ashes scattered around the woods at my cabin, I wanted a small stone to say this. My wife says, "No way". Hopefully, I've got some friends out there who will put a small stone somewhere saying my last thought before I left this world. Luckily, the Homeland Security people won't see it and think it's some terrorist plot to overthrow the U.S. Whereever the stone is placed, rest assured I will appreciate it. Thanks to all of you for being my friends. Michael in the Ozarks
Scott Shipley Member From: Nashville, Tennessee USA	posted 19 June 2006 08:36 PM profile "Here lies (your name here). Beside him is interred his beloved and faithful partner. She stuck with him through thick and thin. She was always a 10, 5 + 2. On his other side, his wife."
Eric West Member From: Portland, Oregon, USA	posted 19 June 2006 09:44 PM profile Rick S. Brings to mind a friend of mine, Hugh Axton, (cousin of Hoyt) that followed a band I was in in the 80s. He was always offering to finance us, and I guess did put up some money for the female singers' recordings etc. I considered asking him to loan me a couple grand to buy a van our bandleader was selling at the breakup. I know he would have, but I don't like to borrow money. He died at 50, in his sleep soon after, and I always felt guilty because I wished I would have asked.. EJL
