RIP to a board legend.  Condolences to the family.

Thanks all. 

If anyone knows how I can access the old Politics Thread, I'd be much obliged. The current one has no posts at all.

Very sorry for your loss.  Reading this made me sad, but also happy that there are people like your dad in the world.

So sad to logon and see this banner post at the top of the page. @jburns was such a good moderator, but an even better story teller. He had a quick wit, and I truly enjoyed his posts. He loved that Archdale snowstorm from back in the day. That grill photo was iconic. He was also quite proud of his weed yard, letting us all know it stayed green year round without any special attention, while the rest of us anguished over our turf diseases we were fighting. He also loved to talk of the snowstorms from the Floyd, VA, days. Those were epic winters, and some crazy times. I will miss him greatly on this forum. From all I experienced, you had a truly great dad, @RaleighNC. This place will not be the same without him.

J Burns meant a lot to this forum.  Loved how he could lay a 'burn' on naughty posters.  Happy trails, John, may the forecast be always interesting. <3

Just saw this topic and it saddens me greatly. I looked on him as a close neighbor friend from the triad area though we never met. He was level headed in his comments and put downs when needed. Prayers for your family and as well said by many others he will be GREATLY missed!

the politics threads have been hidden or deleted.  again, my apologies for your loss, all of our loss really.  his life of service to others and the values he held are to be celebrated and emulated.

if any mods can help me dig those up or provide me with them,I know he put stuff up about my races. For selfish reasons, I'd really like to have those posts. 

 

Thanks, everyone.

Little late, but just want you to know that the small amount of interaction I had with your father was always a joy. It was easy to see that he loved weather and life in general. His humor was always spot on. Wishing you and family peace in this time.
