RIP. Miss all his banter back and forth with others. I loved reading all his crazy stuff. You will be missed!
Hard to believe, I felt like I knew him just from lurking here for so many years. He was so damn likeable, how the hell could he not like himself? RIP Putter.
I feel so lucky and so sad I have a I got my leg humped by Putter t-shirt. Reach out people, reach out.
Depression is a MFer. I cannot fathom in my head coming to that point to actually do yourself in. Regardless I hope he's in a better place. He is no longer in pain but he left all his family and friends to suffer instead. Bummer. My thoughts and prayers to everyone close to him.
I still remember honking at him in T6 at BIR when he crashed the FZR400. Who has the tidy whitey picture? Damn you put put squarepants.
Aw shit. Just got off of a night of flying and saw this. Best wishes for his family and I hope he found a better place.
Found it a couple weeks ago while cleaning up a hard drive for a backup. I'll look for it when I'm home.
fucking terrible. RIP dear everyone, talk to your friends. in person. be present. listen. phone calls, e-mails, texts and FB can never be a substitute for face-to-face
As much as I hate it, there are no 'what if's'. And, yes, the tunnel vision is not only excruciating, it's also blinding.
Very much . Didn't the know guy but greatly enjoyed his banter here. What you do with your life is your choice, ...until you spawn and these remain young & dependent. Friend of my brother did this to his 6 year old daughter and I'm still pissed at him.
That's the most tragic factor. It's a deep, dark place you have to be to not let that bring you back from the brink. Honestly I just wish we'd had the chance to talk.
Once you climb into the black hole, it closes around you leaving you to feel as there is only one choice. Unless someone reaches in from outside and snatches your butt out. Once the hole fully closes around you, the result is pretty much sealed. If you know someone who is having a hard time (emotionally is probably more a factor than physical), keep checking in with them. You may be the hand that snatches their butt out of the hole.
