I sent it to @txbo

@txbo let me know your opinion.

 

[@1RBFjr]

Big caveat- I did not have direct interaction like @cardvolfan , so I could be wrong.

After doing some checking with Freak and looking at several things, the obit I thought was him might not be him. Several conflicting elements. Sorry about any confusion to everyone.

My obit was out-of-state @1RBFjr

I got the impression he did not live in Tennessee.

I do miss OT being around, hope he chose to just get off here.

Also miss roller and talking food, music and plenty of other things to avoid talking Vol baseball.

And smoke signals. But being good is better than sucking.

One of my hobbies is calling into a certain polarizing Knoxville sports “radio” show. I’ve been calling off and on for 30 years. 25 of those years I lived in states other than TN, but got to keep up with the Vols by listening and calling when I could. Over the years, naturally some of the loyal, long-time callers have passed. (Some may even know of Brady, Jeeker, Farmer Charlie, and several others). It was eerily sad when members of the “radio family“ passed away. I’ve never met most of them in person, but they feel like friends— much like OldTimer felt like a friend. Sincere condolences to his family and friends (including his VN ones).

You’re making me very sentimental.
‘This is a brutal reminder that there are real human beings behind the posts we read. I bet I would have enjoyed having a beer with both those gentlemen. As well as you and many others on here.

You and I are not having beer, you’re pouring me Pappy 23.

 

[txbo]

Number?

I’ll give it to you when I know we are both here at the same time and I can delete it quickly. I can’t afford to be doxxed because some cretin approves of small ball.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Fantastic

 

[txbo]

Done. I’ll save it just for that. You’re the VolNation international man of mystery. When your travels bring you to Houston, make sure I know.

 

[txbo]

Fantastic

I’ll pour you one too but you have to keep your clothes on.

You got me, I laffed.

No way you’ll be pouring one for juice, no way he can keep his pants on.

 

[txbo]

Good to see so many old friends here tonight. Brings back fond memories.

 

[NorCalVol67]

And by the way, OT would love how quickly this thread went off topic.

Lmao

Audible chortle.

Yes, I agree. We should all raise a glass to him together.

Think I’ll have some Eagle Rare.

I thought you were a Sauvignon Blanc man

 

[txbo]

Dude, he’s Vol Nation’s Most Interesting Man. You can’t ever assume his evening imbibe.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I did not even realize he was not around in the immediate aftermath of the CWS title win. That’s unfortunate. I do hope he did not pass and if he did I hope he was at least able to see the Vols climb the mountain top before it happened. If anyone deserved to see Tennessee go out on top, it was him.

Best wishes, OT. You will be missed.

Drinking tequila tonight.

 

[vol66]

Just beer, here.
