That is why we're here and the memories of our many friends and relatives who have had to go through the battle with cancer keep us crunching til no one else does.

If Old_Grouch's wife is online at all give her an invite to join us here. That'll keep the computer on :D and allow us to offer support to her as we did her husband.

Even in his absence, his computer will continue to crunch for the cure. (as long as his wife remembers to leave it on :D) He would have wanted it that way. Nobody should have to go through what he went through, NOBODY. So now it's back to job #1. Get em crunchin' and find a cure.

Very sorry for the lose of your father, he was a good man and made me laugh when things probably where not so good for him.

He was a comrade at arms and a member looking for cures just as the rest of us. Your father as well as our other fallen friends are a constant reminder why we are here and why we need to keep going until we find cures that will take no more.

I can't tell you how sorry I am to here of your fathers' passing. Please accepts my condolences.

Your father and I had many a conversation here and on another forum, long since gone. He had a true wit about himself, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Be at peace OG]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22438092 Sun, 24 May 2009 20:57:49 EDT Re: A sad day for us all http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22437615 Digibits : Jay - Words cannot adequately express my feelings of sorrow for you and the family as well as Mike's extended family here at Team Discovery.

If ever a name was a misnomer, it was "Old_Grouch". In reality, Mike was the exact opposite and touched many people at Team Discovery.

To say he will be greatly missed is an understatement.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22437615 Sun, 24 May 2009 18:20:33 EDT Re: A sad day for us all http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22437522 Dolphin : I cried today also -- several times. And I'll probably be weepy some more too -- and that's okay. But I can't begin to find the words to express how sad this made me. He was "Old_Grouch", Mike, an irreplaceable teammate, and a friend.

Your father, a man that I never met face-to-face, reached out and touched my life in a very selfless, compassionate manner. I'll never forget him...

My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

"Old Grouch" will be missed around here, but not nearly as much as he will be missed by you.

May the warmth and love of family and friends support you during this time, and may the beauty of good memories give you joy.

As someone said, "Memories are roses in December."

Peace . . .
