I just got back from vacation and thought this was a joke, I'm sorry it wasn't.

R.IP. Dan.

Seems like he was a really good guy, and heck of a friend to some of the players.

God rest his soul

Oh Dan - I pray you are wrapped in God's arms to be loved and cherished for eternity, I pray for God's love to enfold your family to comfort and support them - I miss you brother. In your memory I have a big grin for the joy I felt in knowing you for the short time I have been stealing your quotes for my signature. RavenBHee Peace

My wife just went to use my cellphone to call her mom, and turned to me and said, "You have Danny Pires's cell phone number in your phone list."

Then I realized I could also delete my uncle's phone number as well.

Life really sucks when you start deleting people from your phone list. :(

Yep.. I would NOT delete my friend Suzies from my list but my phone died a few weeks ago so it came to a natural end having her number there.:( Almost a year already!

(sorry to interject...)
