Gone but not forgotten SOC Members

[Hoot Crawford]

Oh my goodness! So good to see you. Of course you are forever "Hoot Crawford" to us!! How are you?? (You might remember that SOC uses "real" sounding names whether they are actually real or not, so Ken will likely ask you to change Buckeye. )

Good to be back, and my name will be changed back to Hoot Crawford.

 

[Yvonne Smith]

I am back as Buckeye - couldn't remember my name from then. Hoot was my toy poodle, and has been gone for a number of years.

Just message @Ken Anderson and he will do the name change back to Hoot Crawford for you. I remember that you had 2 Poodles at first, Hoot and Annie. They were both adorable !
After my beloved Chipper passed away, I missed having a Cuddle Dog, and I have had a Poodle for several years now, and just love that little guy. He is in the Condo Dogs thread.

With this new version of SOC, I am reminded of voices now missing from days gone by. Remembering Lon Tanner, Frank Sanoica, Bill Boggs, Hal Pollner, Babs Hunt, Sheldon Scott, Pam Sellers, Al Amoling, Robert Teale, Ike Willis, Gary Ridenour, and of course, Ina. I hope I'm not leaving anyone out; these are the ones I can recall.

If you know of others we have lost, please post them here. I'm sure Ken will have a Memoriam thread at some point and I hope we don't need it for a LONG time.

I didn't know Sheldon Scott or Al Amoling had died. I suspected Al wouldn't live long. Very sad after all the years of being a caretaker for his wife.

 

[Ken Anderson]

Other than my wife, who rarely logs in, Al was the only one here who I had actually met, and that was only once. Although we both lived in Maine, he was quite a ways south of here, but my wife and drove down and had lunch with him shortly after his wife passed.

 

[Kate Ellery]

I remember most of the names listed and the long story of Phill and shilmar ….it was reported she also died

 

[Beth Gallagher]

I just got a report. Ruby Begonia has passed away.

I'm just adding Ruby Begonia to the Obituary list. Thanks again for letting us know, Lois. Ruby Begonia died on March 9; she was a sweetheart and will be sorely missed.

That's for sure, Beth. But, Shaun was sick for some time and I do mean seriously. She would be in a lot of pain and never let anyone know it. She was a real champ.

Is Cody still around?

Is Cody still around?

Yep. He moseys in every week or so to update us on rodeo news. He was here last Saturday... https://www.seniorsonly.club/threads/the-national-finals-rodeo-2025.89/

He is busy packing for a move back to Colorado, hoping to get back there in time for the annual PRCA Hall of Fame Gala.

I miss Gary O. I loved reading his posts about his cabin and his pictures. Also his bird houses that he made.
I think of him often, wishing I would see a post from him, but I know his vision has gotten really bad.

I guess I don't make it around the board fully lately. Thanks.

I have known Gary for many years; he's a really good person and very talented. I wonder if he and his wife will be gardening this spring in all those gorgeous raised beds that he built. I hope he is well and still enjoying his life.

I knew Radish rose on SF for years…and also …on a tiny private forum that ran for a very short time …as Shaun

Think Terry who ran the tiny private forum may have been on the old S O forum as well ..no idea what ever happened to him

[Lois E. Winters]

I don't know what happened to Terry either.
