You'll be missed big guy...you, your love of life, your laugh,
and your appreciation of a good cheeseburger, a cold brew and
redheads. It won't be the same knowing that trips to FL won't involve
a bear hug from you. I'll miss you...

Thanks for this, Jinks. Others have described Easy better than I ever
could. Suffice it to say that this horrible news and he'll be dearly
missed.

I don't even know where to start. This is too, too hard. In what way
can mere words pay the appropriate homage to a bigger than life
character like The Big Easy?

Easy was, well, like a big brother to me. Not a " bro' ", but a
brother. My circle of trust is very small and Easy was part of it. For
those who have been around rmh for any real length of time I don't
have to explain. For those who didn't know him, Easy was everything
good about rmh and a genuinely fine, witty and unique person. If you
ever met Easy IRL you know what I'm talking about. If you didn't, I'm
sorry for you because you missed out.

This world is a much darker place without him. That's all I can say
about this for now.

I'm gonna miss you Merrell.

i counted #39 as a friend, we spoke pretty regularly... The world for
me, will be a sadder place with out his good attitude, friendly
demanor and straight to the point conversational style. I really loved
him...although we didnt see each other often, i felt him close to me
as a friend - as I do some others here

I will remember him with great fondness...and will cherish the stories
we shared(d).

*clink - RIP my friend, know you were well loved and touched many - I
will see you again!!**

come to look forward to each holiday).

I would have said the opposite, had I met the person or not.
Meaning, I would have thought that many people are RICHER due to his
life, and also more so now, now that all we have are his memories.

Think about it!
"We" shouldn't feel a loss when a dear friend is taken away, or no
longer available.

IMHO..."We" should see and feel a GAIN, instead, as "your "cosmic
thoughts" are now filled with all the "rich and POSITIVE" things that
made one a part of all of you.

Death and loss is indeed a bummer, but there is so much to LEARN from it.

God Bless Easy. He'll be sorely missed.

Thanks for the report Jinks.

Spunky said it best:

"deflater of puffery"

He's a wonderful man to have met, to have partied with, to have ridden
with, to have laughed with, and to have a serious conversation with. He
is a friend.

shame.
