Pinboy3Niner: He was like a big brother to me...

[malthaussen]

... one I liked and admired. I barely avoided serving in VN by virtue of being born in 1956, but he ended up doing exactly what I was expecting to do throughout most of the 60's. Sort of a case of "there but for the Grace of God..." for better and worse.

Loved that man.

1. He actually caused me a lot of trouble personally

Always posting funnier puns than mine, and routinely making me laugh out loud in my cube at work.

What was that guy's problem?

3. I always enjoyed watching you try to outwit him

:ahem:😏
The pun battles were epic.

4. Yeah, he and I got into it a couple of times, too.

Rapid-fire wit, he had. I don't know that I ever saw him fail to get the last pun in.

6. One of the greatest compliments I've received here at DU...

was to have my puns favorably likened to his.

2. I am sorry for your loss.

He leaves many laughs behind and smiles.

5. I miss him too.

Reading that post yesterday was like getting punched in the gut. This is going to take awhile to get past.

Life is pretty damn unfair sometimes.
