RIP Thread

I don’t know about Andre but Macho Man hated his guts.

 

Hulkster will live on with the Gen 3's big stache front end!

Every time I looked at mine, I though of Hulk Hogan (RIP).

 

Yeah I know. On and off again kinda thing - even though Randy made the move to WCW after Hulk did. Hulk & Andre were definitely friends though. There's even an interview where Hogan tears up talking about his conversation before Andre passed away.

 

Godspeed, Brother…
Andre’s up there….body slam him again

 

I’d love to be there when Hulk and Iron Shiek meet up again

 

RIP BROTHER

 

Whoa, Hogan now too?

Dude was an icon. He changed the world of professional wrestling.

Damnit. RIP.

 

Damn, he was one of my favorite players growing up. RIP

 

I'm kinda biased on this one but I gotta Go with my Dad....
He fell off his tractor at his Farm/Ranch and the brush hog he was using got him from the waist down.
He died instantly from massive blood loss.
While he had a massive heart attack they couldnt ascertain whether the Heart attack caused the incident or came after.



Short Guy bottom right......


If you follow the NBA and you're old enough you'll remember this incident.

 

OMG, thats terrible! I'm sorry for your loss.

 

You boys from S TX will probably recognize this guy's name. He was a staple in the music of my childhood locale - a legend in the Tejano & Norteno genres.

RIP Flaco.



Famed Tejano singer-songwriter and master accordionist Leonardo “Flaco” Jiménez has died. He was 86.

Over his more than seven decades in the music industry, the San Antonio native garnered six Grammy Awards, received a National Medal of Arts from President Biden and established himself as a pioneering accordion virtuoso who helped nationalize the popularity of Tejano and conjunto music in the U.S.

Jiménez is perhaps best known for his work with the Tejano music supergroup Texas Tornados, which included the talents of Freddy Fender, Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers. Texas Tornados won the Mexican/Mexican-American Performance Grammy in 1990 for their song “Soy de San Luis.” The band’s Spanglish style is on full display in their most popular track “(Hey Baby) Que Pasó?”

The list of artists with whom Jiménez collaborated is as long as it is distinguished and includes Bob Dylan, Carlos Santana, Dwight Yoakam and Linda Ronstadt.

Jiménez played the accordion on the Rolling Stones’ “Sweethearts Together,” a Tex-Mex-infused ballad off of their 1994 album, “Voodoo Lounge.”

@Tundra Texan Really sorry about your Dad.

Walker Evans, off road racer extraordinaire.

 

Fuck, not Walker!

Absolute legend.

 

Damn, so sorry about this. Your dad is a well known and an extremely well respected individual in the profession. I have been an athletic trainer for 30 years and have heard of him - and had no idea about his accident. I read Feinstein’s book as well. Your dad helped a ton of people throughout his career!!!! I am sorry for your loss.

 

Awwww HELL YEAH!!!!
Always loved the idea of Desert Racing!!
Had a Buddy that had some acreage out in the boonies.
We'd take my SuperCharged Tacoma and pretend we were Ivan Stewart.......
Took his girlfriend out and She Screamed the whole way!!!!
Doing 80 through the trees and brush was a total RUSH!!!!!
And most likely really dangerous.....

 

Thanks Man...
I Miss Him Terribly.
Oddly enough His Farm/Ranch was in Maryland...

 

Sincerest condolences, @Tundra Texan. Your father looked to have grabbed life by the seat of its pants. Something we could all do a little of....

 

Was a Ball Boy for the Rockets.
I couldnt believe I was getting paid to be one!!! Of course it was only 5 bucks a game....
Got to go on A lot of trips with the team that the owner paid for.
Greece being the most memorable. Stayed in Athens for a week and an Island called Corfu for a week.
Being 15 at the time I was thrilled when I found out the Women went topless at the beach!!!

 

Appreciate it.

 

So sorry for your loss Todd.
@Tundra Texan

 

Appreciate it.

 

Not a big fan of Tejano music but I've heard of the Guy.

 

The hardest part was hiding the Stiffy in my Bathing suit....
Being 15 you could get a boner if the wind blew right.

 

Damn!!!
That Sucks really liked the show.
Alzheimer's SUCKS!!!
It got my Mom.
And while I hate to say this it's almost a relief when they Pass.
They turn into someone you dont even know!!
When it gets bad they dont even know who you are anymore!!
She was miserable towards the end,She'd just sit there and stare into space.
It's Cruel Disease that I wouldnt wish on anyone!!
