Hoochie, that was a beautiful. I loved how you interspersed his posts amongst the comments about him.

brisket: gone, but NEVER  forgotten.

Hoochie One of the loveliest forum members honouring one of the loveliest forum members. Perfect.

I don't believe in Jesus,

Or gods, or deities.

I know such faith, for when we pass,

Our loved ones' pain can ease,

But feel this world is it, for us,

With all our frailties.

Yet, if it turned out I was wrong,

And Heaven does exist,

The gates will host the heavenly throng,

St. Peter will insist,

And surely brisket won't wait long,

His name will top the list. 

And in he'll go, no longer ill,

No longer with a care.

I only hope that Heaven will,

Have heard our brisket's prayer,

And Jesus knows his legs to still,

And never flicks his hair!

Aww, blizz: I think you've found your calling!

The True Gentleman
John Walter Wayland

The True Gentleman is
 
The man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies;

Who does not
          make the poor man conscious of his poverty,
          the obscure man of his obscurity,
          or any man of his inferiority or deformity;

Who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another;
 
Who does not
          flatter wealth,
          cringe before power, or
          boast of his own possessions or achievements;

who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy;
whose deed follows his word;
who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company,

A man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.

Absolutely fabulous Hoochie and Bliz...Baby Bunny, I've never seen that before, love it, describes him to an absolute T 

A lovely thread with lovely contributions

Thank you for your kind comments.

I can't do clever things, like hoochie, but I was so touched by her absolutely perfect memorial, that I thought I'd make the effort to break out of limericks, for brisket. 

i feel very humble here and a tad out of place , but i miss brisket more than i thought i would miss anyone , the tributes are immensley  heartbreaking ,i loved his threads , i mostly lurk  here , sometimes i wonder how i got here   but i love it ................ love you all

Hey, don't feel that way!

I think we're all surprised at how this has affected us.
