(Msg. is a reply to by None.) I am deeply saddened by the news about the passing of a fellow shareholder , moniker Spook01. This heartfelt emotion comes to so many shareholders today with a crushing, dampening sense of helplessness. A man who would think nothing of helping others, and has helped many like myself. Here is a person who so many looked forward to engaging in conversation especially early in the AM each and every day for years, in the Grape Vine on PT. Spook was a person (in my mind) that was capable of conversing in dynamic ,diverse, and in broad range of interests- covering many time periods for such a " relatively" young man. Not many are capable nor were nearly so knowledgeable as this bright man. He seemed to comment skillfully, effortlessly, on most any topic that was thrown out there especially of historical nature. Although I did not have the pleasure or privilege to know him as intimately as some of you did I was lucky enough to interact with Spook many times from about the Spring of 2005 forward. He left an indelible mark on my soul in such a positive light. So in this way when I heard the news about Spook I cried for a long time. I believe that many did just the same as myself.
I am under the impression that Spook was a Veteran of a branch of the US armed forces, and actively served. I am also under the impression that the things that he commented on THE LEAST are what made him WHAT he was---- "SPOOK". For at some point in his military career someone might have used that phrase in a very positive light towards him (in physical reference) as if to say that what he/SPOOK had experienced/seen would have made any man or woman's skin color pale. "Spook."
Spook will forever be remembered by the CMKX community especially as someone who was a good man, a kind man, and one who would help anyone that needed helping. For he was the kind of a man that all need to stop and take notice of. If we just had more Spooks.
