This is devastating news. Like a few of you here, we've been friends for years. Our friendship started through my admiration of his postings and his gift of cutting right to the heart of things with his intellect and humor. I haven't been around. Although I should, I didn't know things could change so much. This isn't about me at all, but I'm so hurt that my friend is gone and I didn't get to say goodbye.

I'm laughing and crying at the same time thinking about all of the interactions. You know, I called him FTW for years. He just told me about a year ago what it means in "biker speak". He said it with a "lol" and I had to laugh too because that would be the last thing he would have ever said.

I miss you.

Sandy, Henry Hawk started a "Best of followsthewolf" thread in the moderated area.   Check it out.

We have now surpassed the 2 year mark since followsthewolf crossed over from this place.

2 years have never passed so quickly, nor been so long at the same time.  :'(

I reluctantly share the following private message I received from followsthewolf , to demonstrate the kind of human being he was.

He sent this to me after I posted about having to have a heart cath done, despite the fact that just 90 days later he himself would be crossing over.

I know he had to be feeling bad at that time, certainly he was struggling; but despite his own struggles he made time to provide me with encouragement and comfort.

This is one of many messages he and I exchanged in the days before my procedure, and the weeks after. He never gave me a hint that he was sick in any way, other than what he posted within this forum; which wasn't much and certainly gave no hint at the seriousness of his own situation at that time. He was more focused on me, my state of mind, and supporting me in any way he could.

I will forever be grateful for his friendship and his contributions within my life. (And I never met the man).

He had his priorities in order and his head squarely in the right place.

Hey guy.

The following info I share to let you know that there is a fix for just about everything.

When I was 45, I was at my fiancee's house and noticed that I had a little trouble with my left hand gripping things. She insisted that I go to the local hospital. Reluctantly, I agreed.
While in the emergency room of the hospital, I had a heart attack. A week later I had 6 bypasses done. They have lasted me 20 years with no problems at all.

I'm not saying you'll need that kind of drastic surgery, but, speaking as a survivor who had absolutely NO idea that I had a problem, you are WAY the hell ahead of the game.

Modern med is marvelous. Do what they say and trust them. Twenty years ago they replumbed me and it still works like a charm.

I'll be here if you want to bullshit via email.

I've got the feeling you'll come out of this like I did -- better by far than before. And that comes from the heart -- not blowin' smoke up your ass.

Sounds like he was a class act. Wished I had met him sooner!

He absolutely was a class act. He was one of the classiest people I've ever run across in any online venue or in real life.

Well said; and no truer words have been posted about him.  :'(

He shared many pms with me also. He always would take the time to pick me up after a long heated battle with all of you guys.  He would calm me down if I was getting carried away and getting too cocky....he always had something positive to say to me.  If he came down on me really hard over an issue we were discussing, he almost always would pm me and make sure I wasn't taking it too personal.  Like palehorse, I never met him, but felt like he was a true friend.  He was always sincere and very wise.  I am so thankful I got to have the relationship that we had and I still miss him very much!

Coming up on the 5 year anniversary of this sad event as well.  Hard to believe how fast time flies.
