24966. wabbit - 1/27/2009 12:19:41 AM Oh my, that is sad news. I always looked forward to hearing from Max during the Iditarod and Le Tour. His word games were fun, too.
R.I.P Max. 24967. arkymalarky - 1/27/2009 12:34:57 AM Oh, how sad. He was a truly sweet man. 24968. Snowowl - 1/27/2009 1:30:05 AM I was just coming to post the news. He really was a sweet mean. I didn't realise he suffered so badly from COPD.
I'm glad to read so many tributes to him and to realise just how well he was liked by so many. 24969. Snowowl - 1/27/2009 1:30:53 AM mean = man.
There are times I really wish there was an edit function here. 24970. arkymalarky - 1/27/2009 4:36:37 AM I hate the circumstances, but I'm so glad to see you in here, Snow! 24971. thoughtful - 1/27/2009 3:43:06 PM I'm so sorry to hear this news...seems like so much bad news floating around these days. My deepest sympathies, but glad to hear his transition was peaceful. It's the best we can hope for all of us. RIP Max.
24972. judithathome - 1/27/2009 5:35:52 PM I just loved Max...we would email and he always had a little joke or turn of phrase that would make me smile. He was a great reader and we talked about books and such. And about his cat... 24973. vonKreedon - 1/27/2009 5:45:48 PM Oh no! That is sad and distressing. What is COPD? 24974. judithathome - 1/27/2009 5:52:44 PM Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 24975. thoughtful - 1/27/2009 10:59:57 PM speaking of posters who have passed, every so often for no known reason, i remember maria...what a special lady. 24976. magoseph - 1/27/2009 11:32:01 PM Yes, she was, so highly educated--I think often of Hashke. He was the first one to befriend me back late 1998. 24977. vonKreedon - 1/28/2009 12:00:18 AM I missed if there was any final word on Cigarlaw. Is he still in the world? 24978. Ms. No - 1/28/2009 2:53:27 AM Max will be missed. He was a charming man.
24979. Ms. No - 1/28/2009 3:00:44 AM VK,
I don't think we ever got any official word about Cigarlaw, but due to his circumstances, we wouldn't have. I last heard about him more than two years ago and at that time things were progressing very rapidly to the end.
I like to think he's sipping champagne in the hot tub with a "dame" or two as he ponders his next move in a Chandleresque detective story. 24980. iiibbb - 1/28/2009 5:23:14 PM Been thinking of everyone even though I'm not posting much. In particular J@H. Sorry about Max... not to project, but everyone in here is in their 40's in my head. 24981. vonKreedon - 1/28/2009 5:48:40 PM Well, you're off by a decade in my case. 24982. judithathome - 1/28/2009 5:58:07 PM And 2 in mine! 24983. vonKreedon - 1/28/2009 6:46:43 PM Really? I thought you were older than your 20's [;-} 24984. Ms. No - 1/28/2009 7:02:47 PM Hey, wait!!! I'm not claiming 40 until I have to in October! 24985. judithathome - 1/28/2009 7:21:34 PM VK, I wouldn't go back to my 20s if my life depended on it! I like the idea of moving decades forward too much.
In fact, most days I wake up totally happy with the age I am.
