I'm pretty sure that photo of Rusty tending the grill is the only one of him on the net. So thanks for that CA. And for breaking the horrible news to us in the first place and then being our conduit to his family. Offering prayers of comfort to them and you as this anniversary dredges up feelings of sadness. I pray our fond remembrances outrun the feelings of loss and sadness a little more each day/month/year.

Rusty's sudden passing sure has made me more conscious of my own frailty, as he and I were about the same age I think.

Been smoking more of Rusty's pipes lately. Still miss him very much.

Image

This was his Savinelli Autograph that he bought in 1974 back in Vancouver, BC (pipe is from 1972) at The Bay downtown. The tobacco was gifted to me by his widow. GL Pease "Raven's Wing".

Anyone else smoking their pipes from Rusty?

Well dang.

Talk about slow on the uptake ... I saw Jester's post and wondered what was up with Rusty. Then I went looking at the beginning of the thread. He's been gone for a year & a half. I had no idea. I thought he'd finally got pissed at all the Christians in here and rustyquit. But no.

I have no words...


Well I do, but ... you know...

Yeah....still miss him.

His wife and daughter have just moved from Ottawa to BC to be closer to more family. We had their going away party a couple weeks ago. I got to meet more of his acquaintances at the party. It was sad to say goodbye, but at least in this instance, I could.

I miss Rusty. I'm pretty sure that he thought I was nuts.

We had many good back and forth PM with each other over the years.

I learned a lot from the guy.

RIP my internet friend, hope we meet again someday.

I admit that I’ve been wondering what Rusty would say about the storm Area 51 trend.

I missed the posts in December and so just saw the picture. Now I finally know what "uncle Rusty" looked like!

I just smoked some of his tobacco the other month, but keep his pipe tucked away for use only when I'm writing, which unfortunately had not been for sometime now.

I wonder if it was lost along the way somewhere.

Just curious - did the journal ever turn up?
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.
