BMMS?

Post by greygoose1 »

I haven't been around these parts in a bit, and for that, I'm sorry. Ijust got a text from an ME area code telling me that BMMS passed away about a year ago. Is this true? I would have posted this in the appropriate forum but I just don't care.

I have no clue. I have no contact info for him. Met him at the last Mass conish thing that Slushfund hosted. Helluva nice guy.

There hasn't been anything posted on the boards to that effect. If anyone has any info, I hope they would let us know because that would be a major loss if it were true.

I got a couple of calls from ME, but figured they were Spam and sent them to voicemail. The caller hung up. Don't know if it's related or not.

Sarge had my number (which I've had since '98 *coughcough*) WAY back in the day, but I don't think I knew anyone else up that way.

Born, bred, lived in Maine most of my life, still have the same number, but i don't know yours. Unless I was completely wrecked and somehow mis-combobulated.

There is a hazy awakened moment of clarity during a blackout when I found myself calling folks to sell them non-mercury lightbulbs for cheap, just needed a clean spark plug, but that may be hearsay.

Good to see you about again. *Chug*

I got a message from Sarge saying that he passed about a year ago. I will raise a glass in his honor this evening, he was one of the good ones.
I just wish there were some actual drunkards around here who can handle themselves like adults while still acting like retards - liquor&poker

Damn....he was a super nice guy. We had many conversations around football and such. Too many friends have passed on....too many....Tomorrow I'll have a Brass Monkey in his honor. I know that fucker is smiling down on that gesture. Peace BMMS!

DD'ed with him quite a bit after Slushfund's Mass Con or whatever the fuck we called it - I had called him a while ago and didn't hear back. I'll call tomorrow and let everybody know what I find out.

I thought I got his number when we were up there. Guess I didn't.

Alrighty. Had a pleasant text conversation with a fella who now has BMMS's cell #. He said he wasn't him, but thought Beer Makes Me Smart was a funny board name. I advised I'd spread the word that's no longer BMMS's #, but that he'd probably get some funny DDs from people who put the D in DD. He was fine with it - seemed to be lookin' forward to it!

Anyway. I'm still diggin' a little, but I don't know how far I'll get. Can't get a death certificate without cause. I know he and his brother and sister were enormous shitbirds to him over the care of his sick - and now deceased - Dad. He bore the brunt of the care - and Dad didn't make it easy for him. So far I haven't found an obituary - either I just haven't found it yet or his brother and sister's final act of shitbirdedness was to not so much as publish an obit for the guy.

I'll keep lookin'.

It is with sadness I inform you that our buddy, BeerMakesMeSmart, John to those of us who had the pleasure of meeting him outside the board, passed away on September 13th, 2017.

Cheers, Slainte and Rest In Peace, pal.

Thank you most sincerely, my Martini teacher NYD.
