Acockalypse Now :(

[TheYancey]

Some of you may remember Acockalypse Now from some of the old boards. I had not seen anything from him this year and found that he had indeed lost his battle with ALS back in September. https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/heraldonline/obituary.aspx?n=james-patrick-williamson&pid=194659611&fhid=3701

I remember him being sick. He seemed like a good dude. RIP.

He was a great writer and probably the best poster on Cockytalk.

I thought about him after seeing that guy with ALS in one of the DNC videos.

One of the worst diseases still out there.

RIP Dude. Good guy.

Sad....crap disease.

He was a really good artist also.  He posted a picture on CT of a painting he did of a train with his left hand (after he had lost the ability to paint with his right), which was really, really good.  Very good Norman Rockwell vibe to it.

I was just thinking about him and how he was doing. 
 

Thanks for the update Yancey. I appreciate it.

Sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed his post on the other board. RIP Sir!

It always seemed like every post he ever made had something insightful and clear-minded to say. Great poster, very nice guy. RIP.

I thought about him many times since the old board died. He was a special guy had many life discussions with him about his illness and my issues, loved the guy. So Sad!

That being said we need a better way to keep up with each other. Some of us have spent more time onm boards than with the wife, or so it seems.
