Some Members We've Lost

[Kickin' Chicken]

I've been knocking around here for a dozen or so years and there have been some great members we have lost. And it's not a small number.

To add some perspective I thought we could list some of their names in this thread to underscore the loss and their contributions here.

Here's just a few who quickly came to my mind:

kvinbrwr

Freddy The Beard

Mr. Bond

Smorg

3railkick

Royce Bunnell

Neil

Please feel free to add to this list with or without comments and keep fond thoughts of these great azb'ers.

I was aware of the AZB HOF but thought it might be nice to list some of our noteworthy dearly departed members in a single thread.

Seemed like a good way to get a feel for the cumulative loss.

There was a member who decided to throw caution to the wind and just enter the 2015 or 2016 US Open and play since "im not getting any younger"....
He had a profile photo with him and Karen Corr...his favorite player....

The very next year he passed away. I'm really troubled that I can't remember his AZ name.

He belongs in this thread.

Yes, Wedge...thanks for the assist.
Add him up up the main post list. You are right, collectively, it is a reality check over how we have lost good contributors.

Me too. Rude Dog was an excellent AZB form member.

Same is true of Oldhasbeen and Hemicudas, two of my favorites that are gone but not forgotten.
