One of our own is gone

[PeterB]

I'm with wurm when I say, "Holy crap."

Just goes to show that life happens, while you're making other plans...

Minty was a great character. He and I exchanged a few emails over the years. I utterly disagreed with his politics, yet I always got the impression that he was a very decent guy, and I respected him as a person. We did share a love of the redheads, that's for sure.

I was one of the ones who sounded an alarm bell when, not too long ago, he had gone "missing" for a time... here: http://forums.macresource.com/read/1/336043 and update thread here: http://forums.macresource.com/read/1/336...msg-336317 I never felt a shred of animosity coming from him, because I knew that under the gruffness was someone who was really trying hard to make people happy and get along in the world.

I just might watch a schlocky movie on the Sci Fi channel this Saturday night in his honor.

[quote AlphaDog]Mint had finally ordered a new MacBook from Apple! Unfortunately, he died before it was delivered. Bless his heart.
This makes me particularly sad, as I think he would have loved the MacBook!

'Mint was fun to have around the forum. Definitely a classic. I'll miss him.

I did not know him but I know I like him on here.

With all of you wacko lefties, it was nice to have wacko righty to try and balance DM out.

Plus no one can stay mad at a cub fan!

He will be missed.

R.I.P.

Glad he ordered a MacBook finally, but said he never got to enjoy it. He's in a better place now.

'Holy Cow... *
Just got in and this is really sad. Deepest condolences to his loved ones and friends.
Never met the mint but enjoyed his posts.

RIP Spearmint, you're already missed. Make sure you say 'Hi' to The Løpe and Harry Caray too -D

* I knew the profanity used up and down my street would not go over the air...
So I trained myself to say 'Holy Cow' instead. - Harry Caray

I remember 'Minty being a veteran, so this is for you bro:

My Mint reflection is when he go out of the hospital and we all posted a welcome back. I posted a picture of Comiskey Park. He really enjoyed razzing me over that. Mint was an open book in that it was okay to yank his chain. He could take it as well as dish it.
I too, would like to read his obit.

And when he gets to heaven,
To St. Peter he will tell,
"Another CUB fan reporting, Sir,
I've served my time in Hell!"

Rest in Peace, Mint!

A long time and seemingly ever present member who will be dearly missed.

Vaya con dios!
