It’s gonna take me a while to write properly about this. So much to say.
@GMan it goes without saying but thank you for bearing the shit news to us. And that mrs oleskool should be let know their hundreds of weirdo friends here all mourning & wondering what we can do.
@oleskool830, you’re getting a g&:$(&/&?!, state funeral OG style, online, & tfb mfer
Damn. I attended a friend’s funeral this afternoon and came home to read this. So sad.
Oleskool was great. We traded seeds and talked about Texas author and musician Kinky Friedman. I have a collection of Kinky memorabilia, and Oleskool used to hang with him back in the day.
Following his thread was inspirational when he volunteered to drive from Texas to Colorado to help @GMan. The world needs more folks like him. RIP, buddy.
RIP @oleskool830 I didn’t have any interactions with you on OG but I saw all the great things you did for this community you’ll be missed. Condolences to his family
This is such a punch to the gut. Condolences to his Widow and any other family and friends. The members here are the closest thing to friends that I have and there is an emptiness that will be felt for a good time to come. RIP @oleskool830 you’re going to be missed by people worldwide. One Love!
Wow, this is dreadfully shocking news. So unexpected and devastating I’m reeling with a very heavy heart, and my head is spinning.
I have fond memories of the amusing chats that we had over the phone, although I never had the privilege of meeting him in person, I truly wish I had.
My sincere condolences to his family.
I will certainly miss him and his Texas sized heart
