Coolidge Died 10 Years Ago Today


Was it Colby or Coby? I've forgotten...

Knew him first back in 2000 or before on the purple board. Really great guy. Always hated the term "no brainer" which still makes me laugh!

FWIW, he liked Rex a lot. Didn't agree on politics, but they were friends as I remember towards the end at least in real life.

ETA: I switched IRL names with another old poster from TR that died first...his handle there was porttiger or something and was named Colby.

I remembered it being something like that so I did a little digging. He was Cobe Parker.

His obit is still up:

RIP Coolidge

quote:

Cobe was a graduate of Brother Martin High School and received Engineering degrees from LSU (Petroleum), UNO (Electrical) and a Law Degree from LSU School of Law.


And you are right about Rex, I remember both prplhze2000 and Rex helping him out IRL towards the end. If I'm remembering right Coolidge thanked Rex for driving a ways to his house and taking him to the hospital.
