An Open Letter Regarding AK Member Sparky RIP

- Start date
Yes, Sparky rubbed a few the wrong way. I have to admit, I was one of those few. I did have to acknowledge his passion, and knowledge, all the while.
His passing does cause me to acknowledge how I can take myself way too seriously. The trick for me now, with Sparky's help, is to remember this now, instead of seeing it after the fact.
Thank you Sparky

RIP Mr. Sparky, there but for the grace of God goes...all of us.
Echoing the above, can't say it better. Hope that we can all say, and act accordingly, that we are friends here at our little AK oasis. We are guests at Grumpy's place and hope we keep it in great condition and in better spirits each time we visit.

Didn't know the man, but mourn his passing -
Made me recall this from the depths of HS English -
John Donne -
"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

R.I.P. SPARKY! Fair Winds and following Seas.
One of our fellow AKers uses one of my favorite phrases as a tag line "Be the person your dog thinks you are" a tenant I try to live by.
RIP Sparky
And a thoughtful remembrance to the late great Zilch, the fruits of whose contributions here I enjoy daily. Econowaves live on.
