Nyboy passed away!

[ninnymary]

Same here... I learned yesterday evening that an 18-month old nephew of mine got killed by lightning on Wednesday evening. Then I came here and learned about Alex's passing... I said to my son yesterday evening the Grim Reaper is busy this new year and he replied "God made two mistakes"

A friend of mine said to me today when someone passes be happy for the good they brought to your life and hang onto that... Let's keep Alex's memory alive by remembering the wonderful stuff he brought to this forum and as a friend. There are so many stories he shared here that I remember, that made me laugh out loud, threads I followed to find out where is it going.... He was a joy to have around.

We lost another friend of many years 2 days ago. It seems like things like this come in 3s.

All I can think of is Nyboy. I so wished I could have been there to take care of him when he was sick.

Maybe start a separate thread for suggestions on that and then put the top choices into a poll?

My most frequent memory of Alex was not about gardening or even his pet grooming, but about his frequent forays onto Craig's List. I'd give him the title of King of Craig's List or Mr. Craig's List. His misadventures on CL seemed to garner the most laughs and they still give me a smile, just writing about it here.

And his cantankerous Dad stories.

How about #1 TEG Member @sumi
Nothing else seems adequate.

I am shocked to hear this and heart broken. Alex was such a dear friend. So kind, so big-hearted, and he brought such joy to this group. What a big hole will be left. It is really upsetting to hear that he was overworked and couldn't take time to rest and that maybe it could have been prevented. I will send his family a card. I hope it will be some comfort to them to know that he touched so many lives far and wide. His poor dad. How devastating.

I hardly slept last night.

You weren't alone.

It would be nice to be able to reach out to his Dad with our thoughts on Alex.

I just raced here to see if ya'll knew. I had his The Kennel and Pet Spa at Stonybrook post just pop up to the forefront of my FB feed.
I'm shocked. I'm deeply shocked and very very emotionally sad. I loved that man, and like many of you, didn't meet him. There is going to be a very gaping wide cavern in this forum without our Alex.

I had just checked the facebook page his niece is keeping everyone informed on. All dogs, all pets have been placed in good homes
