To John's Obituary

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/newsobserver/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=127525451

Now living in Youngsville. My occupation was International Import/Export Customs Regulations/Law for 26 years. Took a very early Retirement. Do need to find a part time job though. To much time on my hands.

Take it one day at a time.  

I have been through so much over the past 2 years including the death of my father, if you knew everything I've been through, you wouldn't believe it. The most important thing I've learned over the past 2 years is no matter what you have been through there is alway's hope and friendship.

Treat people the way you would want to be treated.

Then you are a genetic freak as well, my friend. Have you ever noticed how most people think ferrets really stink -- except for those who own ferrets? Or how some houses are completely overwhelmed by the smell of cat urine and you can't understand how anyone could live with that smell? They don't smell it, or at least no where near as strongly as someone who does. But their sense of smell is completely normal in terms of being able to detect odors. They just smell them differently, though I think with the ferrets they really can't smell it because they don't have the receptors for the specific pheremone that ferrets give off.

Good morning Panther..I've been reading posts, and I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I know it's hard to understand sometimes, but God needed him, and He doesn't make mistakes. My heart goes out to you and his family. If you have to travel, be safe.

I had the pleasure of meeting Shine and his lady Lisa Saturday. What a super guy he is!! He will be coming home today. Take care, and I'll catch up with you later. Have a great day.

good morning john...i am so sorry to hear about your friend...i was away from my computer all weekend, so if you've sent an email and i didn't reply, i apologize...you will definitely being getting one from me later...take care of yourself today and i will talk to ya later :-)

john...just remember that i am here for you :-)

Good morning John, You must get up early or get up and instantly become wide awake. I wasn't particularly fond of getting up early this am but an employee had a problem and saw no problem in waking me at 7 am. And that one was followed by another one -- they have no respect for sleeping people! And I want to go back to bed but this day is going to be a busy one so it's best to get started with it.

So, are you going to Iowa? When will you be leaving? (assuming you are going to go :))

Okay, now I've had three more problems with employees since writing this. One would never know that I work from home ...

Got the emails .... check yours.

Okay, emails received, emails sent! Now, I'm going to try to get started on making a dent on the mountain of work for this day. I'm going to be gone most of tomorrow -- doctor's appt out of town -- so that day will be shot. Allergies, allergies, allergies --- what one has to go through to live with cats and dogs! I'll be on and off here today so I'll chat with you a little later. I hope your Monday will be beautiful!

Thanks for the welcome and thoughts. Enjoy that ocean. This is the time I used to prefer to go. Less people more nature to see. Have a good week.

Good Panther game

Allsion my house in Calif closes on Friday. Money Transfer will be made to my bank account the same day. I guess you will know what I'll be doing this weekend. I need a dinning room set - I need new Master Bedroom Furniture except for the bed. I left the dressers and night stands behind. Needed to be replaced anyway so no since paying for moving on junk huh? I'm thinking of even buy a new SUV. Maybe another Escape or Mazda Tribute or even a Highlander Toyota. Those look a lot like the 330 Lexus. One I would really like to have but to rich for my blood. My Escape is a 2002 and is in excellent condition but I'm leaning towards getting a brand new car. All the other money will go into a saving Money Market Fund at Wachovia. Then I need to put some money aside for upcoming taxes. I know the first 250K on the house is not taxable but anything over that is.

We won!!! I will take a win...no matter who it is against!!! Hugs!!! :)

John--You can stop worrying about making posting boo boo anymore. I have made them to myself but I have now made one to you that was meant for Julie. I was telling her to enjoy the coast now that it's off season but I posted to you in error. I'm staying off a while and catch up things myself. I'm hoping you have a safe trip when you have to leave for the family and friends.

hey john...so, you've got the shopping bug?...can i tag along?...LOL...if anyone deserves something good to happen to them, it is you!...just hang in there and the good will be here soon enough! :-)

Wait! I'm on my way to help you! What kind are we planting today?

John, I see that the third shoe has fallen, with the death of your friend Gabe. My condolences to you, so sorry. It really hurts to lose someone from a long time ago, so many memories.

Actually, a fourth shoe is down with the news about Delhomme's oust for the season because of his shoulder. So sorry.

Susan

Good afternoon!

You can quit smoking. I know you can. If I could quit Newports, most anyone can... don't forget that people are a great resource, talking, emailing, phoning. Post any time, send notes if I can help.

I have faith in you.

Jimmy

A win is better than a loss any day!!! I consider wins "confidence builders"!!! I'm still waiting for the Wolfpack!!! :)

Hey Panther.... Just got back from the beach. The Red and White is no secret.... We go and get some everytime we have a family cookout - We will usually grill about 3 feet of the hot and eat it while we are cooking. Been doing it for 25 + years. Don't ever go on a holiday weekend because the parking lot will be full and every trunk is open and coolers everywhere. I met "campost2007" at the seafood festival, and her husband. She is a wonderful, beutiiful lady, gave her a "real" Shine hug instead of a GOLO. Great people John ! I told "Mary" that we should take the "circle of friends" and maybe meet at some place, not the Angus Barn, and everyone can put a face with a name. Thanks, Charles

Hey Man..... I just understood you have had a loss somewhere close to you. If you need me - call me and we can talk either here or e- mail. I will shoot a number to you on e - mail. Man, I hope everything is going to be okay. Your friend, Shine

Hey John..u never speak to me anymore but I thought I would stop by and say hello and hugssssssss :-)

Good! I love pansies. I'm not much on mums, although I have some old ones here, they are pretty for awhile but growing them here, they get so ugly.

my email addy is ncbaby67@hotmail.com you can send any info there and I live in Goldsboro..how far is that away lol

i sent you an email

We will figure something out. I think it will be fun to meet folks. Anyway, I will talk to you later..luv ya too...hugs :-)

I lost my whole long post to you! I have to run to the grocery, will re-write when I get back. Everything sounds great!

Mary ( Camphost ) and I hit it from the start.... What a great person and her husband comes within 3 miles of my house several times a week. Panther, we need to keep the network working. It will be us that makes this a place to communicate. I am sorry for your loss of a friend. I think your idea is great. It is not that much of a tread for me - you have to remember I was a truck driver. Going up and down and windshield time is nothing but an opportunity to meet friends. After all I use to leave my house at 10 or 11 in the morning and drive to Floridia to eat suppper, spend the night and drive back in the morning. Raleigh, Youngsville, - - - - I use to drive to Charlotte and do some work and be back at the house before 10. Let me know I think It would be a good thing if we could put it together in Dec. I will help.

Good night Panther..You and shine are my newest best friends!!!

I needed a Dr. Pepper and cat food! I'm very careful --- thanks! I go everywhere by myself, just something I'm used to doing, no matter the time. Almost everything on the beach closes down early now so I had to drive into Wilmington to get it. Scotchman store are open here but they don't have the cat food my cats eat and since I'm going to be gone tomorrow and can't get it, I had to go tonight. I'm reading your email and will respond shortly.

I am sooo excited about your visit! Everything sounds just great! No, it won’t be cold. Okay, I’m a beach bum and Beck and I go knee deep in the water ALL winter. Oh yeah --- that smoking thing not going past the third floor --- fire codes. Honey, we will go to gift shops. I never have anyone to go anywhere with! Fort Fisher has a wonderful aquarium. They closed a few years ago for quite a while for renovations and during that time I went behind the scenes to write several newspaper articles. It was neat because most of the creatures were in holding tanks instead of their natural habitats and I was able to touch many of them.

You’ll need a week here instead of two days! I’m already planning where we’ll go.

Hey John, Didn't know if you were up or did the 'earlier' bird thing. - I got up about 6 and told the crowd hello. How are you?

Good morning Panther...I don't know the Abate family, sorry. Have a good day!

good morning john!...i'm at work, but as you know, i really don't want to be...LOL...i can think of so many things i could be doing at home, but i'm stingy with my vacation time and i'm not going to take anymore than i have to...LOL...i think i am going to take a short lunch and leave early...gotta get to the bank before it closes...hope you have a great day...give the babies a hug...talk to ya later! :-)

Hey John..I wish your friend the best, bless his heart! Spine problems are not the easiest thing to live with. I live with it daily. Most days I try to walk 2 or 3 miles, and I can honestly say, it is helping me. Make it a good day. Catch you when you get back home!

yea...that leaving early is sounding better and better! :-)

hey there. yeah, it seems to only happen on certain articles (article not displaye when posting). Weird. Anyways, have a good day.

HI John, good (late) morning. Is there any news about where Gabe's funeral will be? Again, I feel so bad for you. Losing a longtime friend takes away a lot of history - you don't have them to say "Remember when" to anymore.

I am sending my extra-special warm-fuzzy down-to-the-bone best wishes and comfort to you.

Talk to you later.

Susan

I am sending my extra-special warm-fuzzy down-to-the-bone best wishes and comfort to you - Thank you so much for this Susan. I truly appreciate it. I want to meet you sometime along with some others on Golo. I have met so many people here I feel so luckly sometimes to have such carring friends that I have not met yet. You can't imagine the angar I'm feeling right now over that ex-wife and her family. Really who does she think she is. She's an ex and not a blood relative. Linda's Mom is in Caifornia and can't go to be with Linda in Iowa. Her Mom is to old to travel and Linda's other two kids (of course grown now) won't be going either. Why becausee their to selfish to think about anybody but themselves. Anyway thanks for being such a good friend. We'll meet sooner or later. I look forward to that.

Hey man, go have that nap. I will be around until 9 or 10 .... got to get back on my sleep schedule. I accidently logged myself off a few minutes ago and could not remember my password to get back on..... Well I accomplished it after a few hundred tries. > LOL !!!!!!! I will e mail the rest.

LOL at your last post Charles. Going to take that nap right now. I'll try and catch up with you later tonight or tomorrow. I was bored out of my mind today waiting for my friend to go through his surgery. Waited for about 5 hours and they wouldn't allow me to leave. I wanted to go waste some time shopping but the office told me it was procedure that a designated driver must stay on site when a patient is going through day surgery.

Do the nap thing man...... check your email... sent you one.... I see you when you get off the rack....

I just saw your beautiful animals in your gallery. Makes me want more, but I'll have to settle with my two cats, Boots and Maggie. Hubby said no more animals, but if I were to bring home a dog or cat he would fall in love all over again!

Hope you have a restful nap, and if I don't get back up with you tonight, I'll catch you tomorrow!

hey!...just sent you an email...talk to you soon! :-)

Hi John, I'm home! Long day .....

Well, we could be in trouble because I talk to people everywhere I go. I won't get overwhelmed --- I have to have down time too. We'll go anywhere you want to go.

Hey John Panther, Whats up - except me..... Been flying around in 'outerspace' since 5 ish......

GOOD MORNING, JOHN. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND SHINE ARE GREAT BUDS. IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN I'LL LIKE YA PRETTY GOOD. :)

Hey Man......... Yeah I was orbiting early.... Back in Houston now - The touch down was tricky but the parachutes came out - thank goodness.

I sen t you back an email -- - - -take a look....

Good morning to you too John....Did you get enough sleep last night?

When I get more comfortable learning how to do things on my pc, I'll put my cats pictures in my gallery.

Have yourself a great day, and I'll be back with you later.

Okay....... I was just saying before you hit the furniture deal this weekend .... talk to me first.....

Aaawwww, that was sweet. Let's definately keep in touch.

Hey John!! What a nutty article bout that lady huh? LOL gota love the morons out there! Oh yeh, happy humpday! I am staying home tonight for sure. I cant hang like I used to. Enjoy your day!!!!!!!! I'll be goin to Charlotte Saturday for the race, cant wait!!!!!
