Don't do this, not here, not this thread, not this man.

I know you live to escape PA and preach politics, but not here. 

This thread is about IB. Not you, not your politics.

Take your politics to any other thread on SA, but not this one. Please.

He’s too good of a man for any negativity.

And in case that wasn't clear enough, let me try...... @Mrleft8 :

I was fortunate to meet and spend a few days with IB a couple years ago. 

Truly a brilliant and remarkable person. 

Not only is he cherished here but civilization needs more people like him

Get well soon.

I will be praying for IB and his family. I don't know him outside of his posts here, but that is enough to let me see what kind of person he is and the world is a much better place having him in it.

This has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with health care, and the cost there of.

I apologize to anyone who thought that I was politicizing this thread, or the issue.

Any discussion of healthcare cost inevitably becomes political, to say otherwise is a bit disingenuous. Nevertheless, thank you for the apology.

I don't want to bother IB but would appreciate updates from those who are in contact with him. He needs to get better as he and MoeAlpha are way up on my list of people I want to sail/have a beer/drink with.

 

[Dorado]

Ok, let me get this straight. 

We got Cruzy, Moe, and Larry on the same boat  ?

Whoop, whoop, whoop.

Why you  . . .  Wise guy huh?

Both great guys. One of my regrets leaving the Chesapeake for parts unknown was not being able to spend more time with either of them. Memorable but limited time there.

Hi, All.

Just an update:  As of Tuesday, Larry was alert with improving numbers, but the plan was to go home on hospice care.  There’s the prospect of some good time with family, but it seems the sarcoma fight is over.  
 

My wife is in text communication with Lynne, but we have not been asking for updates out of respect for her time and privacy.  I will post what news I get.  
 

Hope everyone here is well.

Sad to hear, sending good thoughts to IB and his family.

 

[Mrleft8]

I don't even know this person in real life.... But my heart is wrenching.

I'm very sad to hear that.

Though it is nice to hear from you.

 

[Dorado]

Oh my . . .

Well Moe, tell him how much we all love him.

 

[Point Break]

Oh my.....may he cross the bar as peacefully as possible with loved ones around. Fair Winds IB.

Damn..

Damn!  Not good.  Many prayers for Larry to either beat the odds..... or to go out with as little pain as possible and with as many people around him who he loves and loves him!  

This just reminds me that the gods are fickle gods.  Bastard gods.  When someone good like Larry is struck down while shitbags roam the earth - I can't help but curse the gods!
