Remembering Walosi

ACStudios, my father passed away in 1993, & there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him & miss him terribly. I too was raised at an early age (9 years old) with guns, hunting, fishing, etc. growing up on a farm, it was almost a second nature to learn these traits. The two worst holidays for me are Thanksgiving & Father's Day, really a struggle to get thru them even though it has been almost 18 years. Keep yourself busy, keep others close & just think of the memories you have. Merry Christmas to you as well.
Be safe.

 

Smoke Up in Remembrance of Walosi.
It a hard time of year, AC, I know how you feel.
I also miss my parents, but it seems to get worse as the holidays near.

 

Sadly, I was not a part of the HI community in the time that he was with us, but I have on many occasions referred to his great, informative posts - always dabbed with his unique sense of humor. He was indeed a good man with great character and will always be remembered here on HI.

 

He still lives here, in the advice he gave and the ways he touched the forumites. Even after his name is forgotten the consequences of his actions will stretch into the future, to touch or influence people yet unborn in ways they (or we) will find difficult to understand.

 

Never had the pleasure of meeting him in real life but I remember that little frog and lots of threads on woodchuckery. I learned a lot.

Indeed, I agree fully. :thumbup:

Happy memories AC, now and in the future.

 

I was around in 00-01 before dropping out of collecting for awhile. I miss the ol' woodchuck. I never looked at wood in any discerning way before reading his posts, I've never looked at it the same way since.

I can't read the term "woodchuckery" without smiling and thinking of him. He continues to touch many lives.

Smoke up for my Woodchuck mentor. I read everything he posted and always came away enlightened. I still have his PMs on woodchuckery. You are well missed Walosi.

 

Walosi crosses my mind every time I open a bottle of Tru Oil. This past year I have been getting the stuff in 16 oz. bottles.

 

Your dad was very good to me. Taught me a lot. I still have a chitlangi that I bought from him, and would never part with it. We both worked in cotton mills early in our careers, and affectionately refered to each other as lintheads.

Memories make me smile.

Happy Trails, until we meet again.

 

Your Pa was a good man.
Smoke up.

 

Walosi was indeed my brother from a different mother and will always be missed from the void his passing left in my heart!!!

 

Smoke and prayers for Walosi

 

He was a great guy, Alan.
