In Dog Beers I've only had one.

Just heard that Bear passed on, sometime within the past few days.  Sounds like it was sudden, with no hint something was happening.

I'm speechless, he was a good friend.

OMG, spoke with him just a week ago and sent him some parts for his Lightning project  I knew he was having some health issues but no indication things were bad.
He was a very good friend and I know he will be missed. I will have to give it a few days and reach out to Mayee to see how she is doing.

Oh man, that’s a shock.  I too spoke with him not long ago.  A wonderful, kind, smart, knowledgeable man.  He’ll be greatly missed.

I wasn’t at coffee that day.  But I’d spoken to Barry a day or two before, and he said he’d likely attend, so ya, I’m guessing that was him.  He has/had a second home in Whiterock and he was down there at the time.

  Dam.    Yeah he did have a second place in White Rock. Was talking about the hassle he was having with the strata where he lived.
 And yes he was also talking about a BSA project he was starting on.
 Dam!  He was a good dude!

Hi Claudio, such a surprising thing ; Have you talked to Boris & Peggy? I will have to find Mayee's number and talk to her in the next few days.

Hi Frank, I haven't talked to either Boris or Peggy for quite a while as I have been out of the province.  Howard/Runningdog indicated Boris had called him and advised him of Barry's passing.  So Boris is aware.
Howard can correct me if needed...
