Some days it seems like yesterday Mrs. EJW called me at 4:30 AM to tell me he had just passed. Other days it seems like an eternity ago.

EJW was my OB BFF. Loved that dude. I can't remember what the phrase was, but I remember going back and looking at his last post and he had something I posted as his sig quote.

Think how life has changed for all of us in the last 8 years. It magnifies the tragedy of when a person goes too soon. I hope his family is thriving and enjoying every day to the fullest.

So hard to believe its been 8 years already! I remember a deer hunt with he and his son that year that had 3 of us crammed in a box stand, EJW's chair giving out which gave us all a good laugh and forced he and his son to share chair providing an unforgettable picture of them, and a very exciting hunt with several shots fired from little EJW but no kills - what a great time spent with a great man!

I still remember when he had told us he had some kind of medical issue somewhat in passing. In a C@D thread or something. And no one thought much of it

We put Christmas flowers on his headstone today. His mom makes sure seasonal flowers are there 365 days a year.She loves growing flowers & he could not have cared less about that so she says she knows he's laughing at her every time she puts them out for him.

I knew him personally, he was a good man. I remember the day I got the text he left this world and I fell to my knees.

RIP brother. I think of you often.

Sadly only knew him from the internet, we spent many a late nite hour bullshitting. From all accounts he was a solid guy, gone way too soon.
