I got a text from Rich's daughter last night. It's been 2 years (today) since we lost our great friend.

She said that she was watching the NFL Draft last week and she noticed that Denver drafted a Tight End named Jake Butts. She laughed out loud, and then said the 1st thing she wanted to do was tell Rich... because she knew he would laugh his ass off too. She misses him so much.

I really miss him too. Send some positive vibes to Rich and his family today. I know Rich is keeping up with our crazy asses... he'll appreciate it.

Rich was one of the first guys to welcome me here at ROD, he was such a cool dude, he's still with us right here.

I'll drink a beer in your honour tonight Thordaddy and send positive thoughts to your family, who must be missing you like crazy.

Can't believe it's been two years man. So glad we all got to do the game together in St. Louis.

RIP brother.

Two years.... Wow. He really made an impact didn't he. It's a shame all the new members who will never know that crazy man.

The game we did was great. Meeting his family and each other. People traveled from all over the country. We all ate, drank and got to put faces with names... He did that for us. I remember when his name kept coming across the banner monitor they had. It was pretty damn sweet.

Awesome guy! Even more awesome how a forum that we come to with a common interest can allow us to meet people we would otherwise never know!

A toast to Rich's memory and peace to his family.

I have to thank Thordaddy for my mere presence on ROD. Thordaddy emailed me and spoke of a Rams site where fans discussed All things Rams without getting personal. Thordaddy didn't mince words. They broke the mold when Thordaddy left us. Oh, and he introduced me to several great bands. The man rocks!:rimshot:


Sending prayers and good vibrations to Rich's family and friends.

Here's a shot of a bunch of us who went down on the field after the game. There were a bunch more of us... but not everyone stayed after the game and came down with us.

I had a great time meeting everybody! So glad that we came together like this for our Brudda Rich.


LOTS of members pictured here btw.

I used to live about 30 minutes from Thordaddy for many years. Unfortunately, I didn't know this... until I moved away and met him on a Rams forum. How weird is that?

Anyway... a few years ago I get a PM from Thordaddy;

"Hey, just want to let you know your White Castles (restaurant) burned down".

:LOL::LOL:

That particular restaurant was in the town when I lived next to him. Lol.

I miss Rich.

Rich was one of a kind, his whimsical responses combined with knowledgeable posts were truly second to none...Rich had an uncanny ability to take a sad song and make it better...God Bless Thordaddy!
