To the Hustad family
To the Hustad family
I loved your dad, father, husband and friend. I will never forget him. I may never be the same after this. I will probably retire from this board after our help is sorted out. Logging on here is a chore because he's not here. John would tell me to stfu, dust myself off and get back on the horse. He was my best friend and I never met him. This will haunt me to my own grave.

Re: To the Hustad family
You are right that is exactly what Dad would have said,however, Dad would have also added "but that's just my opinion you have to do what is right for you." Or which I have heard countless times over my 40 years, "if that's what you wanna do". In his most sarcastic tone.RASTA666 wrote:I loved your dad, father, husband and friend. I will never forget him.

If you decide to leave here please PM me and I will give you my email to keep in touch. As I mentioned in the message about his memorial service, Dad's friends were right here on the board.

Rasta:
Scapp stayed in his health challenge fighting the whole time, he would not want you to walk away from here in this manner.
We need his spirit to carry on through us. I am having trouble with this too bro, I really dont have it in me to post up though I am lurking through a few forums here and there. But eventually I will get back in the mix. You know in your heart that John would not want you to leave. I hope you can find it in your self to rescind this desire. We have all lost a dear and special friend, we dont need to lose another.

Its not a desire. I'm checking flights to Portland tomorrow. This is different. I'm just not sure I'm into this anymore w/o him. He'd rake me over that. But still its just weird nor having him here. A better friend then those who live next door. Stoic is in his approach to all things. Not about me walking away. Its about choices and the reasons for them. John would pm now and call me an idiot.straycat wrote:Rasta:

Thanks Tko but its all gone to spit for me. Thats not to slag this board. Its great. Just might be time. Let the youngins hang out. Johns death haunts me. Its the reminder of this on a daily basis. This place will flourish regardless. Again this has nothing to do with me and everything to do about him.

What i can honestly say about Scappy, is he was certainly amongst the most contented and dignified people on this board.
He always seemed a genuinely happy man. He was taken from his family and his friends way, way too early. But i suspect he died a happy and proud man, content with his life and what he'd achieved in it.
He made his mark, and he left as a good man, loved by a lot of people. Thats a target we can and should all strive for.
Rest in peace Scappy, We will all miss you terribly mate.

I feel for you, Rasta. I was thinking about this last night. For some reason when Scap told us he was sick I really assumed he'd be alright. Maybe because he had such a calm and positive spirit. I remember on the ESPN board he contacted me out of nowhere to tell me he had fight links I might want, and put me on his permanent e-mail list. He was way more thoughtful than me.
