Raising a glass to pinboy3niner...

[Aristus]

Just did a couple of shots in his honor...

[hlthe2b]

1. Oh, yes!

[Aristus]

2. He was such a good mentor...

[hlthe2b]

3. One of a very select few who, just seeing his screen name, made me click on the post...

I'll miss him.

[Aristus]

4. I can't believe he's gone...

He was so full of life. He gave energy to others...

[JohnnyLib2]

11. Same here.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. And an extra shot for the Door Buzzard.

[Aristus]

6. Yes...

Gladly...

[Iggo]

7. Bzzzzt !!!

[Aristus]

8. Hats off to pinboy!

[Phentex]

9. He will be missed...

nobody could turn a thread like pinboy.

[Aristus]

10. Usually with a great laugh line...

[tblue37]

42. Or a pun! nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. I raise my glass to his memory, and in his honor!

We shall never see his like again...

Thank you, my dear Aristus...

16. One of a kind.

[calimary]

17. WHAT??? He's gone? DAMN.

I will miss him.

DAMN.





Just DAMN.

[Aristus]

18. I'm sorry you found out like this.

The word went out from DU-ers far more worthy than me a few hours ago...

[calimary]

19. Meh - my fault, mostly. I noticed another thread breaking the news AFTER I saw yours.

Just sucks, though. I hate seeing good folks leave us.

One thing, though - it's nice to see more than one thread as a tribute. Proves how much he meant to people here.

[Aristus]

20. Yes, indeed...

[montana_hazeleyes]

21. One of the most beloved DUers.

It's hard to concentrate on anything else today.

Raising one for our dear pinboy3niner....

[Aristus]

22. Yes...

[PDJane]

23. Here's to pinboy.

I'm gonna miss him.

Damn.

[Aristus]

26. Yes...

[blm]

((pinboy))

28. Here's to him

Smart and witty

[GreydeeThos]

29. One for Pinboy3niner

In sprint anyway (I have not had a drink in 14 years).

[LisaM]

30. I'll do that after work.

Cheers.

[FarPoint]

31. Hail to our fallen DU' er....

My heart aches....Rest in Peace my friend.

[Aristus]

33. Mine, too...

I haven't felt this level of pain since God_bush-&-cheney, Andy Stephenson, died. It was only mistiming that robbed us of a face-to-face meeting before he died...

[FarPoint]

35. And you know I was close to Andy..

My heart still aches for him.

[Aristus]

36. I envy you having known him...

I wasn't as fortunate. I only have a kind, friendly PM to remember him by...

[FarPoint]

37. He was always the center of festivities.

A beautiful soul....

That said. Another beloved, fine DU'er wishes to also send his most sincere sympathy for the. Family and fellow DU'ers..

This DU' er is unavailable at the moment to offer his condolences...It is with a heavy 💓 he shares our loss....That beloved DU'er is William Rivers Pitt. ((( HUG))).

[DFW]

32. I don't even drink alcohol, but I made a hot cup of tea to join in

It's half past midnight here--hope I can get to sleep!

[ornotna]

34. Cheers!

You could always count on a big grin on your mug after reading his posts.

[Solly Mack]

38. He came. He saw. He punned.

And we are the better for it.

Stop me before I babylon.

For you pinboy3niner.

[duhneece]

39. I'll do that with you

He took another piece of all of our hearts today.

[Aristus]

40. Thank you...

Yes, he did...

[gademocrat7]

41. To pinboy3niner

An incredible contributor to our DU community.

[JudyM]

59. He added his own unique dimension, always a little surprise, a delighted laugh. To pinboy3niner!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

43. Time for the beer frame. Here's to Pinboy3niner!

[Skittles]

44. I absolutely adored him

we've been joshing back and forth for years....I considered him one of my "paying customers"

I will drink heavily in his honor - he would appreciate that

[Aristus]

45. He will be missed...

Did he pay for you to kick his ass?

[Skittles]

48. he was my #1 customer

[steve2470]

60. maybe I'll have to pay you now ?

I'm nowhere near his caliber in the pun department, but I'd like to think I'm in the same ballpark as to the kindness part.

Anyway, we grieve together over the loss.

[Initech]

46. I shall raise a beer for Pinboy!

[NBachers]

47. Democratic Underground is different now. Something is definitely missing.

A name that was always welcome, in any thread where I read it. I think we all felt that each one of us had a special kinship with pinboy3niner.

[furtheradu]

49. Thank You, Pinboy3niner

For ALL the smiles & OUT LOUD laughter.
We LOVE YOU.

[Aristus]

Really, such a sweet funny man.

[KT2000]

53. Absolutely!

Here's to pinboy3niner with respect -

61. I should confess that, for years, I've read his nameas "Pinboy Spinner"

I kid, I kid.

He was one of my favorites and cannot be replaced.

[malthaussen]

62. To absent friends all...

He and I commiserated over a few absent friends over the years. I'd hoped I wouldn't be raising a glass to him for awhile, though. Sigh.
