Ahoy mates, it is with deep regret that I must inform you all of the passing of one of our beloved sailors.
Captain CordyWood has set sail over the horizon for the last time.
Those in NPS have feared this moment for quite some time but alas, we cannot prevent the inevitable.

I pray you all stay safe.
Fair winds and following seas to all.

If I Should Go
By Joyce Grenfell

If I should go before the rest of you
Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone
Nor when I’m gone speak in a Sunday voice
But be the usual selves that I have known
Weep if you must
Parting is hell
But life goes on
So sing as well.

Known Gary "Cordywood" for many years. Never met him personally but was very close to him. Was a Doctor in real life. Retired at a young age because of good investments. Moved around a lot. Canada, Mexico (lived on a yacht), Reno Nevada, and finally relocated to Thailand (got married). Havent heard from him in over a year so I expect he passed. Was in his late 70s and had a history of heart problems. Great guy and fun to talk to. RIP my friend

So we just off folks cause they quit playing? Jeez the memorials Avonmora would be having.
Maybe the wife is very entertaining and love him long time. :D :D :D
An obituary might be the standard for insurance companies for a reason :D :D :D

I'm glad that I came back before VUDU decided to write a memorium. Probably would have been something like....

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Here lies a giant flower
That no one should trust.

Awe Dez how sweet that you think VUDU would take the time to write you a farewell.

I would think that Will would come up with a better poem though.

When a lady insists William One Eye rises to the occasion, who am I to dissagree,

Pull up your socks or get upwind
By William one eye

Dezntuz has touched us all in many ways
He was Big, he was bold, he was unavoidable
In many ways like the memorial of Oscar Wilde,
Brazen, Obtuse, and lascivious.
Where once there was,, now there isnt.
A loss to some, relief to others
No longer must you tolerate
The boldness of Deznutz in your face
I offer Tributes of adaptation
not some subtle parodies.
For a parodeez nutz might rub you the wrong way.
There shal be no boring homily
And with that we offer thee,
A handful of Deznutz into the sea.
Alas I hope to recomend to yee,
You stand upwind as he goes free,
For if your right in front of me
Deznutz shall rest upon you for eternity.
Pull up your socks or get upwind.
