My condolences to everyone. I know that this was a well respected member of this community.

2 months have passed. It seems like yesterday to me. I am amazed how many times a day, things that I read here on SS or do, make me think of Lifer.

I hope the family is doing well.

Aint that the truth.....him a many others that are no longer with us yet still have an influence.....

Ace Tomato
Armyman 30+ yrs.
IronHorse the General
Eithan (Builder)

and others who's names escape me, but should be in a Memorial Thread on Steel Soldiers so we can never forget with the passin of time!

 

[Karl kostman]

I am very sorry to hear of Lifer's passing, when I first became a member he answered one of the first questions concerning MV trucks I had, probably a dumb question but he answered it in a manner that made me feel welcome and comfortable to be here! To lifer's family I am truly sorry he was a very great man. To all of us on SS also my condolences we have lost one of our own! RIP Lifer, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!

Lest we forget......



The mark that Lifer left upon this community, this brotherhood will always be with us. Over time it will be there for the newbies to learn from and us old guys to remember and reflect.


And for now, we drive on...

I was going thru photos on my phone when I came across these and thought I would share them

 

[Ripcord01]

Thanks for sharing. God this man was full of spirit and is missed around here. He would help anyone he could.

 

[westechs_wifey]

No I wasn't trying to hurt anyone with these pictures just thought his family and friends would like to see them....and sorry if I made anyone cry with posting these pictures

 

[onegmjack]

Posting these pictures is a very nice way of showing respect and that he was a important member of the Steel Solder family.Thank you for your kindnest and thoughfulness.

 

[M715VFD405]

Thank you for sharing those He was a good man for sure....

 

[Ripcord01]

I was being sarcastic. You did good MRS.

 

[raeme]

I should quote our ODE. They should not grow old as we that are left grow old,
age shall not weary them, nor the years condem,
at the going down of the sun and in the morning,
WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM.
Lest we forget.
raeme.

You and your family and all the friends/loved ones of Lifer are in my Prayers. May the Peace and Comfort that only comes from God be with you all.

I needed to do this.
I remember when Charles passed, I never chimed in as I should have! Now re-reading these notices in "His Thread" I was wondering why no one had posted a picture of Charles's pink HUMVEE? I know we all gave him a lot of grief about it, but hey, it's your vehicle, paint it whatever color you want. He was also a Grammar Security Police, and took issue if you were bending our language.
Miss you Lifer, think of you often.
From one Airman to another. (Thank heaven for spell check)
