(My friend Scott Curry passed in the early morning of the 31st after a long struggle with pancreatic cancer. Although not a member here, I invite you to join me in wishing Scott a good voyage and luck in his new endeavors.) Maybe you're jamming with Hendrix; more likely, Randy Rhodes. Maybe discussing social theory with Heinlein. Or working with God to adjust the nature of lightning. No matter; I'm just glad you're out of pain, beyond its evil grasp. I don't know why you had to suffer; I'm having my own squabbles with God these days, and he's being his usual, reticent self - so I know I'm not getting any answers anytime soon. What I do know is that I'm glad I knew you. You were a good man and a good friend. I loved you, even if I didn't always show it. And now I'll miss you, Scott. Buen viaje, mi hermano.
May he rest in peace. Thanks for sharing your loss with us. We are here for you and grieve with you. We've missed you Joe.
Always remember that God will take the best of us first - wouldn't you. We may not always understand why he does things the way he does. Believe me God and I have had our issues too - I used to curse his name in a vain effort to make him feel my pain. And I mean I cursed him, for years. In the end though I came to realize that it may take years before we see what any part of that plan is. I am different now, thankfully. I was more self destructive than I should have been, and luckily I came out of it a better person. Also remember that just b/c we see people go through hell here on Earth that sometimes it is because God uses us to achieve things. Sometimes the loss of people or the things they go through motivate others to act to change the world around us in ways they never thought possible. It may hurt to see at first, but in the end if they were a good person God doesn't let their memory die in vain. Having everlasting life is much longer than what we have here right now. God only gives us what we are capable of handling - and we each have destinations in life no matter how long it takes us to get there. We all grieve with you, and for you.
Nabo... My deepest condolences on your loss. Your Tribute was both eloquent and stirring, and a wonderful eulogy for a dear friend. May he Rest in Peace, now free from all of the pain and anguish.
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and kindness. My heart still feels like it's being squeezed in a vise sometimes, but I do know that Scott is in a better place. PS: Alen1, that sig ROCKS.
I dont know Scott but I think I have a pretty good handle on you bro. I am sorry for the loss of your friend and I hope you overcome that just as you have overcome other tough hurdles in your life .
