Even the thought of removing this thread at Christmas time is just plain awful. There are those left with a loss and its presence is comforting. I can begin posting daily if GT would rather it be that way. Is is akin to removing a headstone.

Sinc, I agree. Gerry always wished me a happy Hanukkah around this time of the year.

I think MacNutt would feel blessed that we still hold a special place in ehMac for him.
RtC

P.S. Sorry about the typo.. corrected.. thanks SINC for pointing it out...

RtC, where is the special place for MacDoc?

Typo correct. Sorry MacDoc!

Now it makes sense. Merci, mon ami.

Four years back, Gerry MacNutt made this post:

http://homepage.mac.com/plmnice/nut3.png

Tonight I opened my hallway closet that I turned into a bar storage area many moons ago.

I was looking for a single malt to sip this Christmas Eve, and thought I might raise a wee dram to my dearly departed friend, Gerry MacNutt.

I grabbed a bottle of Scotch from the middle of the stock and I found, while removing it, something I had not seen for years. There in the back of that bottle was this:

http://homepage.mac.com/plmnice/nut1.jpg

It was one of two bottles of water that Gerry had sent me a few years back, produced on his property on SSI. I decided then and there it was an omen, and now have in my hand a glass of that first bottle of Scotch I touched tonight, a Lagavulin, mixed with Carley Springs water. Best damn drink I've had this year. Trust me on this.

"Slainte Mhor", Gerry, I miss ya, you crazy bastard. :-(

Wow.. that's just touching.
Cheers to you Sinc!
RtC

Damn fine post Don!
And because of it, I'm going to go and crack a bottle of single malt Aberlour right now.

Cheers to all, and to you too Gerry, wherever you may be on this special day.

2505

Have one for me too, will ya Howie? ;)

Have one for me too, will ya Howie? ;)

I certainly did Don. But I also had to have a couple for some guys at work that are stuck working even later than I. So, hic, needless to say I must hit the sack now, if there's any hope of me helping my wife with the turkey dinner tomorrow. :o

Christmas dinner! I can hardly wait! :love2:

Thanks for that post Sinc! Made me all choked up. I miss MacNutt.

Great post Sinc. Merry Christmas

:)

Just opened this thread and scanned back to Sinc's forwarded letter from Macnutt's father.

Reading his fathers words and reflecting on Gerry's posts made me also reflect on the thought often repeated of how he brought us to action. Whether by posting a reply or comment, or internally considering his POV, he certainly had an effect on us.

MP, I always liked that picture, and wished I had saved a copy for myself. Gerry shall be missed.
I stumbled across this post while rereading this thread on MacNutt, Dr. G.

I have emailed you a copy of the original picture.

Merci, Sinc. Picture received. Paix.

I've been non-exisitent on ehmac for a few months and just saw this thread. I'm floored by MacNutt's passing and at a loss for words.

But I would like to share my thoughts and condolences to his family and everyone here on ehmac who had the chance to know MacNutt.

Thanks for doing so, we all appreciate it very much.

I too have been absent for a while, and I happened to notice Chealion had RIP MacNutt on his tagline.

Very sorry to hear of his passing. I never really exchanged many words with him, but his posts were often entertaining, and I too feel I knew him. I too am a motorcycle racing nut, and a rider of 20 plus years, so it's always especially tough to hear of these things.

I raise a glass of The MacAllan and offer you cheers MacNutt - God bless!

Russ

Thanks for the kind words RC51Pilot. I know Gerry's family follow this thread and I hope it continues to give them comfort. :)

I was thinking of Gerry the other day and I remember his take on eating organic foods and drinking only his Carly Spring Water. He claimed to be in perfect health and is never sick.

Such a shame that someone who is healthy as a horse dies by something unrelated.

I really miss his presence here on ehMac.

I was looking at the "NAFTA on Steroids" topic and gratified to see MacNutt's vigorous commentary there in the earlier part of the discussion.

Your comments still kick ass!

Gerry was deliberately provocative in many of his posts. It was as if he was begging people to at least 'think' about a particular topic. It wouldn't surprise me if some of his views turn out to be a bit prophetic.
For me, his sarcasm was legendary. It made me laugh on so many occasions, and I dearly miss that.

For me, his sarcasm was legendary. It made me laugh on so many occasions, and I dearly miss that.
When I first came onto ehMac, and saw Gerry's posts, they were so over the top that I thought maybe he was a secret lefty providing the right wing talking points for all the ehMac lefties to hone their opinions on. He certainly helped me bring a lot of my arguments into focus. I'm the foaming-at-the-mouth rabid socialist I am today thanks to Gerry MacNutt. :D :yikes:

It took a while for him to respond in that particular thread, but when he did respond in any thread it usually ramped up the discussion - not always for the better, but certainly for the more entertaining. :) We had some legendary flame wars going and Gerry was always an enthusiastic participant.

I have to admit that since I recognized he was always trying to bait the lefties, I would try to bait him in reverse some times. Not my finest hour, but often fun. I also have to admit to a little pleasure whenever I saw that Gerry had so broadly thrown down the rhetorical gauntlet. Depending on my mood I would often pick it up with a fair amount of gusto, as you can see in that particular thread.

When I added to this thread after more than a year, it was partly because I saw Gerry's comments on the first page. We had fun and I know that he was a good and generous guy. Political stances are really only a suit we wear and are not ultimately the true measure of the person.

I thought I would share this PM MacNutt sent me the first day I started posting on ehMac. I don't mind posting it because I think he would get a kick out of it.

MacNutt - "Kepp em comin! Let loose as many broadsides as you feel fit!

No one will diss you for it. (well..actually they WILL. Hope you can take it).

Either way, as long as you keep on speaking your real mind, and saying what you really think, I'll back you all the way. Even if we don't always agree on something.

Fair enough?

We need more people with some serious backbone around here. Left, right, or center!

Welcome!

Gerry."

Thanks for that Dave!
He stood up for what he believed in, and encouraged others to do the same. Hard to fault that. I still miss him.

I was working nights this evening and I went out to take a few pictures around the hospital... as I was standing out in the cold takin' (or trying to take) a decent shot I thought to myself I wonder what kind of tip I would get from MacNutt... odd don't you think?

RtC

P.S. I was welcomed at the door of the ER by a tiny little racoon that was looking for a snack in the garbage can by the door. I guess I should feel lucky all my shots are up-to-date...

I was looking through some old posts and I had one that I started about switching my dad to a mac...Macnutt, funny as ever had a good comment about windows...he always made me laugh, think, and like his avitar ponder things about everything. I repspect the fact he stood up for his beliefs...

I had occasion to look this up on another thread tonight, and thought it appropriate to post it here in Gerry's memory:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT88jBAoVIM

Beautiful,
Thanks!
EJR

Thanks for that SINC!
LeAnn has such an amazing voice. :clap:

Wow, that was powerfull. All of that space and yet it was certainly filled with just one very singular voice...

It was a year ago tomorrow that Gerry last posted here in ehMacLand. He is still missed.

This morning I mysteriously received an ehMac notice that a posting had ben made to this thread. That's unusual since I'm no longer a regular and don't receive notifications any more. Strange!!....but I'm compelled to drop a note to say that it is fitting to remember Gerry on the anniversary of his tragic death.
I was a fan of Gerry....didn't always agree with his stance on things but always admired the thought and conviction he put into his debates. Before seeing a photo of him, I had pictured him as a big, burly tough guy with a heart of mush. I know there were many here at ehMac who would have loved to sit down with him, have a couple of beers and listen to his stories. If all that he said was only half true, he had an amazing life experience. His life was taken while doing what he loved, and there should be some comfort in that, but he left this world way too young. He had a sense of adventure and also a rare passion for what he loved, and that included his extended family here at ehMac, Cudos to him :clap:
No one here will ever forget you, Gerry. Peace be with you.

Well said, Peter. Paix, mon ami.

Marc, it just goes to show that there are no guarantees in life and that we should live each day like it will be our last (but of course we won't do that). At least we should try to leave this world without regrets.
As long-lost brothers separated at birth, we should make a point to one day meet face-to-face at Chez Marc or some other common metting point and have a good chat and a hug. PS&MG Inc could pick up the tab. I could bring my cat for the doxies to play with. :eek:

Sounds like an excellent work in progress, Peter. Drop by The Shang more often. Paix, mon ami.

Last week I was driving by MacNutt's old stomping grounds and thought of him, figuring it was about a year ago he died.

/me toasts MacNutt, and thinks it's time to re-read a selection from Mr. Jobs (http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html)...

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

:cool:

The actual anniversary of Gerry's death is in fact next Monday, May 28.

Like others here, I still miss his postings, but I miss his late night phone calls even more. Those were some of the best conversations of my life. What a guy!

Peace on you, Gerry.

I mentioned that tomorrow is the anniversary of his last post. Monday is Memorial Day in the US. Fitting.

I know for one that Gerry is still somehow monitoring ehMac and getting a big kick out of the daily going ons here, drinking a big bottle of Carley Spring water.

I certainly do miss his Stirring the pot attitude and getting the "Liberals" on the board going. Every time there was a political discussion going on, I knew that there was going to be some posts by our MacNutt. I would think Uh Oh. Here we go again.

Those discussions were some of my fondest memories here and I certainly do miss them.

Well said MaxPower, my feelings exactly. I wish I could turn back the clock sometimes.

Was just wondering today if Gerry's passing anniversary was coming up, and noticed it was on the 28th. Was going to post a reminder here, but happy to see others are already remembering.

Would be nice to do something special on the site that day in memory of our friend. :)

I was wondering as well if something was going to be done in memory of Gerry.

I'm sure anything to honour his memory would be fitting.

It was exactly a year ago today (http://www.ehmac.ca/everything-else-eh/41191-rip-macnutt.html) that our friend Gerry Macnutt passed away.

Today, I raise a toast to our friend, and just remember the good things about Gerry. :clap: I know he's racing tripped out top-fuel bikes somewhere. Trust me.

In honour of our brother, I'm wearing his Mental Racing jersey today that he sent me a few years back.

Cheers Gerry. :clap:

A fine gesture, Mr. Mayor. I am not a Scotch drinker, but if I were, I would raise a glass in honor of Gerry.

I've got some canadian whisky, so I raise a glass in honor of Gerry.

A fine gesture, Mr. Mayor. I am not a Scotch drinker, but if I were, I would raise a glass in honor of Gerry.

I am, but it is too early in the morning here.

Cheers.

s.

Mr. S., try some water. Gerry would approve of that as well.

I can currently raise a cup of Tim's to him. I'm sure it's Canadian enough that he'll approve. Cheers Macnutt!

I'll raise a nice cold beer in Gerry's memory this evening when I get home from work.

Gerald's FotoPage - Fotopages.com (http://macnutt.fotopages.com/) is still there, with a few images he posted in 2004 - including a photo of him. I seem to recall that he had more photos posted than these few, but perhaps he removed them at some point.

I will raise a glass of spring water in honour of our friend Gerry as well. Although it is not Carley Spring Water, I know Gerry would approve. I had him analyze the mineral content in the water I drink and he approved.

To you Gerry, I raise my bottle. Today we celebrate the memory of an ehMac pioneer, member and friend. I always felt excited when I saw a MacNutt post knowing full well it would not disappoint. ehMac is not the same without you my friend.

Cheers.

...to Gerry MacNutt...

This site has not been the same since his passing.
"Trust me on this."

I fear my debating skills have deteriorated since we lost Gerry - as always, the departed is at peace and feeling no pain, but the rest of us carry the wounds forever.

If I were a believer, I'd bet he's even debating Jesus right now...

I raise a shot of my best Havana Club to ya, MacNutt!

...If I were a believer, I'd bet he's even debating Jesus right now...
That I have no doubt.:lmao:

As a reminder there is also a perpetual "GuestBook" respectfully created by SINC. Some of us contributed to the site's establishment.
Guest Book - Gerald William "Gerry" MacNutt (http://www.legacy.com/can-victoria/GB/GuestbookView.aspx?PersonId=18031885&PageNo=1)

I still carry Gerry with me, in some ways. I added him in iChat, so whenever I sync my cell phone--successive ones, at that--he gets added in again in my contact list. It just doesn't seem right to change that.

Cheers.

miss him much

It's amazing how fast a year has gone by.

I think something like this cannot be expressed in words alone, so I too raise a glass for Gerry.

*Cheers to Gerry*
RtC

I had a bottle of 15 year old Glendfiddich scotch given to me at my wedding, after dinner tonight I will pour a glass of scotch, raise it and drink to Gerry Macnutt's memory.

Laterz :)

It's amazing how fast a year has gone by.


I was just thinking the same thing... I can't believe it's been a year already. Cheers Gerry!

Raising my glass.

To Gerry.

Scotch.

Obviously.




Cheers mate.

Scotch will be my drink of choice in Gerry's honour when I finish my driving for the day.

Rest well dear friend.

Salute!

in memory of Him Post Drinks today

Gerry will always be remembered as a much valued friend of the ehMac community.

Cheers Gerry, you are missed.

Cheers, Gerry. Hope you're having a blast, where ever you may be.

Raises a glass to Gerry.

Cheers

It certainly was a sad day and I truly miss the guy.

Dave

It is unfortunate when someone's life ends too soon. I never really knew Macnutt, but I do know he helped make the ehMac community. Good on him.

I don't have any Scotch in the house but I do have a wee bit of Drambuie.... here's to you Gerry!

We miss ya!

Cheers!

Cheers Gerry! We all miss you!

Sorry MacNutt. It's just good 'ol Molson Canadian for ya tonight.

What it lacks in quality, I'll make up in quantity for you. ;) :D

Like the others, it doesn't feel like a year has gone by.
A toast for Gerry,

Just going over some old MacNutt posts like this one (http://www.ehmac.ca/anything-mac/34-what-has-ehmac-done-meant-you-2.html#post451) on a thread about "What Has ehMac Done / Meant To You?"

Let me see here... I seem to remember seeing some mention of ehMac in "As The Apple Turns" which I was addicted to when it was being regularly broadcast. I'm pretty sure that the ATAT article mentioned, or had something to do with, CubaMark.

Once I got here, I looked in and didn't contribute for a while. Then I had a question or two and posted my first topics. The replies were thoughtful, helpful and frequently entertaining, as well. :cool:

I was hooked....big time. :D

Nowadays it's my favorite forum! I'm here more often than anywhere else. I honestly think that you people are some of the most intelligent and interesting human beings that I have had the good fortune to converse with.

This is from a guy who has lived and worked in nine countries on three continents.

Besides....where else could I find another group of otherwise intelligent people who would put up with my wretched excesses on a daily basis? :rolleyes:

:)

I think it says a lot about the man that he is cared enough about to inspire this group to contemplate on his absence after a year.
It reflects well on all of you as well.

Cheers Gerry.

It was almost unbelievable to learn about Gerry's passing and to echo others, I can't believe that it has been a year already. I think the quote from Ottawaman above summarizes nicely the online community that MacNutt helped build.

Raising a glass,

spudmac

I didn't know Gerry as I joined this site not too long ago but he sounds like wonderful guy. From what I'm reading he will be missed greatly.

S.

True he is likely racing a tricked out bike. :clap:

*raises glass*

Gerry, Gerry, Gerry...

I can't even salute you with any of the good stuff, as I'm on meds. That's OK, later this week I'll have two. For now, water will have to suffice, out of the tap, yet! ;)

Have a buddy who is going to give me a hand to put that Weber 40mm IDF downdraft on the Sportster this summer, the one we talked about. He's got 48's on his 84" Shovel, we'll just jet this one a bit leaner. Can't find a manifold, we'll have to build one ourselves out of 1-5/8" ID mandrel and some 1" aluminum plate adapted to an S&S twin throat manifold. Should look good, as long as we get the offset close to the tank. Want to be able to use the highway pegs.

I miss you, old friend.

Maintain.

*raises glass to Gerry*

I don't have anything new to add, but, for the record:

- that was a fast year
- any thread he posted on became much more interesting
- I don't drink
- I'm sorry he's gone.

I'm just home from my night shift, and can now raise a glass to you Gerry. Things seem different in your absence. Miss ya man.

I didn't post here the other day but I read through the thread. I couldn't think
of anything to say at the time and the thread made me sad all over again.
It is still ehmac - but it isn't ehmac here now.

He is missed.

Even though I don't know who Macnutt was till now, I still raise a glass of fresh chocolate milk to the guy who died, whom I never knew.

MacNutt's posts would really be welcome now.

I just found this sticky, and I'm already sad. This apparently happened about a half hour's drive south of where I live. This is very sad.

On this beautiful spring morning I am reminded again of the tragic loss of Gerry two years ago. Tonite I shall hoist a wee dram and celebrate to his memory.

RIP, old friend.

I too will join you in a salute to that ornery Scot. I still miss him. RIP Gerry.

To absent friends...

cheers to you MacNutt.

I am up late tonight (on vacation) and had some fond memories of Gerry on ehMac.
Miss ya brother. You were unique.

Yeah Howie, those late night tirades of his used to get to me. Hell, I even miss those late night phone calls when he was all excited about some new thing he had discovered. He was one of a kind. :D

We just re-elected our prime minister.
Americans are about to change history (fingers crossed while knocking on wood) by electing a black man named Hussein to be president.
The world economy is crap going to yit.
And i will admit i don't read most of the posts regarding these issues, i just quickly browse and maybe post some clip or superficial opinion (like liberals winning),....but i read ALL of Jerry's posts and looked for them.
i miss him!

There are many of us who still miss Gerry, gb.

Gerry would be having an absolute hay day posting here with all that's going on in the world today.

"Gerry would be having an absolute hay day posting here with all that's going on in the world today." Amen to that, Warren. Paix, mon ami.

He'd be tearing a strip off Obama by now, that's for sure!

A small friggin world.

I just met someone I haven't seen for 15 years. And through just yakkin' about anything and everything she mentioned she lived on SS for a while, I said I'd never been there and mentioned how this guy 'Gerry' on this Mac forum used to paint a pretty good picture of the place. She looks at me and says Gerry MacNutt? I was like "yes..."

Turns out her and her son lived with Gerry for a while, in his house when she first moved out to BC a number of years ago. Needless to say I was kinda stunned, to say the least. She went on about him, told some stories.... It was kinda neat, made me think of 'those' days on here, those were some 'interesting and fun' threads.

... :D

Good afternoon folks.

I was out and about visiting some of my relatives final resting places today, and since Gerry is buried not 10 metres from my aunt, I thought I'd share this with you:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3396/3477689602_99c24a8317_b.jpg

Not the best photo I've ever taken (yay for point and shoot), but you get the idea.

Thanks for the pic, PB.

Nearly three years already ... ?!

I like that carving of the bike!!!

Thx, PB. 'Preciate the consideration.

Doug, I was thinking the same thing...

PB - Thanks for the picture.

Thanks PB for that shot. It's a fitting headstone for Gerry, kind of unique, like he was.

Well, Gerry, SINC, a buddy of his and I threw one back for ya the other night in the river valley of the Oldman just downstream of the train bridge in Lethbridge.

Just wanted to let ya know that on the third anniversary of you taking your last ride we're still thinking of you.

Maintain, old friend.

Mr. Mayor, the memorial thread for Gerry was a great idea. Not sure why it is a closed thread, but it was a fine gesture on your part. Paix, mon ami.

Just closed that any new posts would be posted here. Trust Me. :) ;)

As I do every year, I will have a cold one for Gerry tonight and do some reminiscing (http://www.ehmac.ca/search.php?searchid=783629).

Gone, but not forgotten.

Yep, FeXL and I did indeed toss back a double for ya Gerry!

Will every year I'm around too.

Mr. Mayor, your link above leads nowhere???

Yep, FeXL and I did indeed toss back a double for ya Gerry!

Will every year I'm around too.

Mr. Mayor, your link above leads nowhere???

Search results must expire or something. Was a link to search results for all of MacNutt's posts.

I still fondly remember the memorial held in MacNutt's honor with FeXL and the lads.

TR, remember the discussion we had to engage in just to go outside & toss a shot of Lagavulin over our shoulder for him? Gerry would have laughed his butt off over that one... :D

Well, old friend, it's been 4 years now.

I still think of you and go over our correspondence. These boards are not the same without your fire.

Rest well.

I only overlapped MacNutt's tenure for a short time, but his posts were one of the the attractions for joining up with discussions. I miss seeing him wipe the floor with people before they realized they had been transformed into mops! I'm always taken aback when an old thread is revived and I see one of MacNutt's fine posts.

Lol...

We always say "East of HOPE BC, you will NEED a block heater!"

West of Hope BC, you don't.

Of course it goes without saying that anything EAST of Hope is....wait for it...

"Beyond Hope"

(arf arf arf arf arf arf)

RIP Gerry.

To Gerry. Cheers my friend.

Sorry to ask but who is this guy? Sounds like he was a great guy.

He was an awesome guy who had a lot of wit and charm. He added a lot to ehmac. I wish I had known him better, but I am lucky to have known him on here for a few years. RIP Macnutt.

Sorry to ask but who is this guy? Sounds like he was a great guy.

You can start here. (http://www.ehmac.ca/search.php?searchid=1204695)

Just reading through some of these brought back memories.

I can't believe that in a couple of months, it will be 5 years already.

In a nutshell, Macnutt was a very outspoken member of ehMac, especially in regards to politics and other topics, but he almost always kept it friendly, and had well thought out posts. He was also a very kind fellow, sending me and other ehMac members some gifts and neat items... just because he was a friendly guy. Just don't ever make fun of his name MacNutt. Had nothing to do with being a "Mac Nut", it was his real last name, which he took great pride in.

He had a phrase he always used... which was "Trust Me". :)

As you can gather from the beginning of this thread, tragically he died much to soon in a freak accident.

He will always be remembered on ehMac.

^ ^ ^

Nice post ehMax! I still miss Gerry and your post brought back those old memories. :(

Just a heads up everyone....

In 2 days, on May 25th, 2011 at 3:05 am, it will be the 5th anniversary of our friend MacNutt's last post (http://www.ehmac.ca/everything-else-eh/40878-do-i-need-block-heater-4.html#post404437) on ehMac.ca. :-(

I think it'd be fitting to do something in his honour and I've been meaning to find a more special way to remember Gerry.

I know when I was in high school, they had an annual athletic award the was named in honour and memoriam of someone who was a very prominent figure to the school and the community.

I was thinking of something similar, like an annual Gerry MacNutt award given to a valuable member of the community each year or something like that, but I'm open to ideas.

The important thing is a remembrance of Gerry.

.

I just checked to see if Gerry's fotopage is still there - yes indeed it is (http://gwmacnutt.fotopages.com/). He joined the site at about the same time I did way back when. I stopped using the site a few years ago. Nice memories though.

Thanks, TD. It's nice to be able to put a face to the personality.

As I go through these pages this morning, the wound is opened afresh.

It's been 5 years, old friend.

Still thinking of you...

Hello, old friend. It's been another year.

All week it's been overcast & rainy. This morning the sun rose to a clear blue sky. Did you have anything to do with that? ;)

Haven't heard any Skynyrd on the radio yet, I'll break out a CD later.

I sat on the step with a beer and a shot an hour back, thinking of you & our correspondence, the laughs we had, at both ours & others' expense. You wouldn't like where the place is headed...

Last weekend I had a great ride, dodging the rain clouds, negotiating the twistys, soaking up the mountain scenery. The new cams & gear drive work well. I often wonder what sort of riding company you would have made. I'm thinking it would have been most enjoyable.

Take care, mi amigo. We'll talk again next year.

Was driving thru the Maritimes and noticed a sign for Salt Springs and thought of MacNutt... told my wife a few stories about the man and thought it was amazing...
RtC

Haven't been around much but every once in a while I think of Gerry. Best way to remember him ... is to remember him. So, a post to keep it all alive, because Gerry deserves it.

Well said gordguide, he certainly does.

I found one of MacNutt's posts by accident the other day while searching for something else. I think he would still enjoy posting in our Third (but probably not final) Official, Authoritative GHG Thread.

Good on ya Gord. I agree. :cool:

[I found one of MacNutt's posts by accident the other day while searching for something else. I think he would still enjoy posting in our Third (but probably not final) Official, Authoritative GHG Thread.

Without a doubt.

MacNutt's post seems to show up in the darnedest places while searching. Always a pleasant experience.

This thread is a wonderful tribute to a great guy who left us far to soon and in a tragic way, I'll continue to remember.

As keeper of the Guest Book for Gerald William "Gerry" MacNutt at the Victoria Times Columnist, I thought some might like to see the latest post added to the book:

Thx for the update, SINC. I'm hoisting one for him now...

Thanks Sinc.

Hard to believe that Gerry's last post was on May 25th, 2006 ........ nearly 7 years ago. :(

I was thinking the same thing. A lot has happened in that time, but I'm still glad that Don has reminded us. Thanks Don, and, RIP Gerry.
