OT: Roo's Miracle...A TPB's Community Thread Of Unity and Support

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

My fair skinned, blond, blue eyed surfer daughter called me today and said she has skin cancer.

Said they caught it early and it's a good type to have if you have to have skin cancer. She has a procedure tomorrow where they scrap some off and test it, then scrape more if they have to. Do this until the test comes out no cancer. Can take 3-5 hours. It's on her forehead. I'm freaking out.

I hate that word.

I would like to ask for TPB mojo sent to her. Thanks

I've been through that, and most of the time the outcome is positive. The fact that there are no guarantees makes us feel horribly vulnerable, though.

Sending light her way, and yours, too. Peace be with you.

RIP Roo. You were such a light here for all of us. You always will be. Thank you for showing us what true caring about others looked like. You are such a huge role model to me. I look forward to meeting you personally in heaven one day.

Rest easy Terry(ROO)

A bit late in commenting here as I'm saddened to read about Roo's passing. I haven't been on here as much this offseason and I missed the news when it happened. Roo was the reason I joined CMB and then later TPB when I learned that he was posting here. Reading his posts about the earliest days of Chargers football and growing up during WW2 was a real treat. But the most enduring thing about the stories he shared was HOW he shared them, he shared them with grace, class, and just overall human decency. He was a good man, a god fearing man, and sitting behind a keyboard didn't change that one bit, it just emphasized it all the more. He set a tremendous positive example for the rest of us posting here to follow and he will be missed. RIP Roo

That's really good but I agree they left out his Charger devotion. But we know!

I would love to see the Chargers honor him some way. Even if its just a mention on the broadcast..

Wished the Chargers could have won a championship for him while he was still alive. Still crazy that I knew him since the old CMB back in 2005. Twenty years goes by quickly. RIP Roo 🙏

I'd like to thank the leadership of this board, and also the participants for their understanding and empathy on this accord. Glad to be here.

Isaac’s birthday is May 10th. The days leading up to it are very difficult.

I bet. We will honor him on that day. Please shoot me a pm as a reminder. I know the new Vbulletin update will give me a better calendar to use. But that wont happen until camp opens.

My prayers are with you, brother...we can't do it on our own strength...this is why we lean on the Lord every step of the way...

Sending light your way, brother.

Id like to suggest using this thread to mention your lost loved ones on the days of their passing. Their heavenly Bdays. I will then add them to the thread title for that day. This way we can honor them as a community.

Ive got my brother coming up.
