Mole was one of those people with the ability to say volumes and sum up a mishmash of great thoughts with a few sentences. In several threads he was able to draw a rambling discussion to a focal point. Kind and caring.

Kind and caring can be said of so many "passed" 'Catters. You could find their pictures in a dictionary where the words are defined. Sorry....I know that's a cliche and all but........

Giac was all of that and more. If your life was going very well or very badly she sent you PM's that were spot on and never failed to make you feel good or even better than you already did. Gawd, what a lady................

And then there was Walking Eagle. She and I shared some history as she had lived in Columbus for a time. We'd have a tale or two every year when my son's trek to the Special Olympics would take us past her home that she had here. Above all, she had "grace."   I suppose that too is another quality I valued in all of these folks but the Eagle had it in spades.

Little John........LOL......Just makes me laugh at times to think of him. The flip side of his humor was the intelligence and depth of his thought. Here was one of my favorite types, the genius who played the buffoon. We shared a mutual interest inwriting and he had an idea for a new website but we never got it off the ground before he died. His interests were broad and divergent and not linear.....another quality which endeared him to me. Just before he died he wrote me about a motorcycle he was about to buy to restore, one of many interests we shared. He and I along with Brother Mole were all members of The Aneurysm Club and LJC and I had a running series of jokes about it. I guess I'm the only member left now but if you have an aneurysm you're living with, call me and join up......dues are cheap!

I've said too much about Rick in the past and it's easy to find on these threads.........

If you missed knowing them, all of their posts are still here and you might want to sample a few.
