I have been amazed at my reaction to losing ol' Sticks...Like most here I've never met him,but it's like losing a member of my Family.I hope I can emulate some of his class.....

Mr. Sticks was one of the best friends that I never met. I will remember him with fondness.

So sorry to here the news. My prayers are with you and all who knew him.
I look forward to meeting him someday beyond that great divide. Maybe he'll spin me a yarn or two.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner than this but this hit me to hard to reply have been praying and will continue to.

Oh, holy cow. I'm new here, and have been waiting for my login to be approved. I've spent a good deal of time enjoying his posts about hunting limb bacon. I'm sorry I'll not be able to enjoy any more yarnin'. I'll hoist one in his honor on opening day next year.

Kathryn, I just heard. I'm so sorry. I know the congregation must be devastated, as we here on the site are. It was so obvious when we visited that Terry was loved by all, from the littlest on up. I'm so glad we got to meet you, if only briefly; I will cherish the videos online of his sermons at the conference, and revisit the books often. He was a very special man, pastor, and friend. We pray for your family and your church. He blessed us all.

Thank you so much Windy. It was Terry's great pleasure meeting you and your lovely wife. We so much enjoyed getting to visit with you. I am doing well.... Being carried by our Lord. I know the hard part still is a head so keep us in your prayers. I have been overwhelmed at the response of people.... The comments on the Campfire site has been comforting. He was working on a re-write for a post or article the days before his passing. You take care and hope you all stay in touch.....

I too will miss 'Sticks very deeply. He and I never did meet face to face but we had many good conversations at this Campfire. Actually, this Campfire won't be quite the same without him. May he rest in peace. Mike

You're absolutely right,Mike,we're gonna have to do some heavy lifting to cover for him....I'll do what I can,but he was special....

Yeah, Mike, I felt like I should write a tall tale in his honor butt he was my best responder. It just wouldn't be the same...wait, a thought...

* silence,except for the sound of munching popcorn....*

BT, It could take a little time. The tale needs to be worthy of him...oh no, I couldn't possibly say that...could I...hmmmnnnnnn.

Volatpluvia,,if anyone could do it justice,,it would be you,,Mike

Back in 2004 my handle was treblig and after my first post, Fiddlesticks asked, "What's a treblig?" and I said, "That's my name spelled backwards." and Fiddlesticks answered, "Well the only critter I know that walks backwards is a crawdad, so your name is now Crawdad." I've used it ever since.

May God Bless him.

What a shock. May the Lord be with your family knowing that your Fiddlesticks is with the Lord.

Load fast and aim slow.

His passing tore the heart and soul out of this board. I surely do miss him.

Me too,and I didn't even have the chance to get to know him that well.....

My condolences, I have prayed for you for your loss. He was a favorite writer of mine.
