F#%÷×ng Hell...
We served in the Army at the same time, but never met.  Exchanged a lot of messages about dad stuff and Boy Scouts... "good man" just seems lacking.

And when our work is done,
Our course on Earth is run,
May it be said, "Well done"
Be thou at peace."

Be thou at peace, Dave. 

And to those on the other side, be aware.  A warrior has arrived.

His first text to me when we were meeting the first time:
"The weather is here, wish you were beautiful."

I'm glad I got to meet him in real life and am going to miss him.

So sorry that he is gone.  Never met him in real life, missed a couple of opportunities that I now regret.  It was always so inspiring how he managed to lead an active and full life despite his illnesses.
God speed, Dave.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I met Dave in person 5 or 6 times. The first time at Caesar's Head in 2011? Then with Mrs Smith twice, then at Boomhauer's place once, then once at Lake Murray, then a final time two years ago in Wisconsin when I was traveling for work.

He came to my hotel, we got a bite to eat, then we sat out by the outdoor fireplace, drank whiskey, and contemplated the universe. I shall treasure that memory, and all of them, always.

In our last conversation this week, he told me to take fierce pride in my family and not be afraid to be defined by fatherhood.

He was prouder of that than anything else, and he wanted me to be too.

QFT.  Had a similar conversation with him too this week.

Fiddler’s Green
Halfway down the trail to Hell,
In a shady meadow green
Are the Souls of all dead Troopers camped,
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddlers’ Green.

Marching past, straight through to Hell
The Infantry are seen.
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marines,
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddlers’ Green.

Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene.
No Trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he’s emptied his canteen.
And so rides back to drink again
With friends at Fiddlers’ Green.

And so when man and horse go down
Beneath a saber keen,
Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee
You stop a bullet clean,
And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
Just empty your canteen,
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddlers’ Green.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

I've only been camping for a weekend with Scout and his son.  He was one of the most intelligent people I've met, and definitely twisted (in the best way of course.)  He had a much larger impact on me than he'll ever know.  I already miss the drunk meme posting . . . .

I received an e-mail link to an update for the GoFundMe campaign for his daughter's two adopted children. In lieu of flowers, Scout asked that anyone wishing to do something make a contribution to the GoFundMe campaign.

Friday morning at the visitation I let his son Robert know how much we valued Dave and let him know he is encouraged to reach out to us as a resource if ever needed.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Thank you for going and letting Robert know.

Anyone kept up with Robert?  I haven’t seen him since Scout’s dad’s funeral.

I missed this thread due to illness. I think the last time Robert was here was 2012 but I'm not sure on that date.
