May you and your family know peace and calm in this turbulent period. You are being the example that I wish I could emulate if and when the time comes. Prayers and thoughts with you and your loved ones.

Thank you gentlemen. Thanks for allowing me to participate in this experiment that was/is FDP/Moe’s over 20 years ago. It’s been great for me.

I would like to have the opportunity to meet you. Your grace and dignity at this time makes me hope I could come close to doing as well. I still hope to meet you -- but if not, you have shown me how to be a better person.
You made hundreds of interesting posts back on the other site -- I wish we could dig those up -- you gave us a lot to learn.

The B-29 restoration was (IMHO) one of the coolest threads from the old site. Thanks for sharing. Praying for you 🙏 and your family.

I own an ebike because of the thread you started. I've got about 850 miles on it, so you have helped me in ways you don't even know. I've gotten so much enjoyment out of that bike! I only wish you had gotten to enjoy yours more than you did.
Still praying for you!

It’s been a pleasure knowing you, jhawkr. There have been times when I’ve hung in your every word. It meant a lot to me. Your calmness and articulate nature are a rock in a turbulent world. Hope to see you on the other side, brother.

I was so nervous, but they gave me the confidence to go play. I enjoyed their company. Jim - hoping for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Update: October 30, 2021 The wife and I elected to go with Home Hospice due to the terminal stage 4 Cancer. Hospice moved in last night with a a wheel chair and other durable good goods. My hospital bed she be here Monday. My nurse will be out 3 times a week and facilities guy and nurses aid at least once a week. They filled up my medicine coffers and were ready. Plenty of anti-nausea meds, Morphine and Oxycodone. They will be training my wife to load my siringes and whatnot when one of the Hospice people isn’t near. The goal is preventing pain and discomfort. Hospice nurses are angels. May peace and comfort be with you on the road ahead.

Duncan, you were not the only one very nervous to play! I do remember that jam and you and I waited until the end before we played. It felt great!
I've gotten to attend several fdp jams with Jim. He's a very solid guitar player. Calm and professional. We all appreciate that. Thank you Jim!
Still and always praying for you!
Steve

I’ve enjoyed our discussions for many years. It feels like Family. We’ve known each other for a very long time and benefited form these discussions. It’s hard to say but I’m going to miss you, at my age I’m soon to be with you and many others I love and miss.

I'm really sorry, jhawkr. That's a very rough hand you've been dealt. I like what Roly said about us all being in the queue. I wish so much you had a better prognosis. Peace to you and your family, now, and later.
I have admired you for years from a distance. They great thing about good people, is the light they shine for all of us to see, so obviously.
Best to you and your family.
You will be missed!

Nah, not yet. You'll be pulling through, right?
If things should take a turn, this little song came to my mind. Not that you'd need it, from the way you've been standing tall all the way from the past that I've been reading you posts..

I'm not around like I used to be, and for some reason I missed the original post...but I just read through every one of them..I can't add anything other than what's been said... but this place has the most kind, loving, and thoughtful people....I feel so honored to be a part of it
Jhawker... you are a soldier..reading all of your posts, I'm so impressed with your positive attitude...I hope that when the time comes I can exhibit the same strength as you have shown here...
its a compliment to ones character to be held in such high regard, by so many... You are truly blessed...please get well...
thoughts and prayers to you and your family...

Mojo sent from Houston.
Always enjoyed the spirited Mustang discussions!
And as mentioned, the B-29 updates were awesome.
