I don’t post here much anymore, even though I pop in a couple of times a week.
But I thought that the old gang from the
mid-to-late 2000’s would want to know that, sadly one of our buddies, (

I enjoyed chatting with him back in the day, I remember him as a very funny chap, and even though it’s been a number of years I’m still sad that he’s gone.
Rest in peace, buddy.

Oh man. :( I never really knew Turtle or have any kind of a "connection" with the guy, I sort of didn't even realise that it's been such a long time since he was a regular in here. However, I still associate the word "turtle" with him, despite of not even knowing him personally, so he must have left some kind of an impression with me! It's always sad to see a fellow TTLGer pass away, especially at such a young age. So long, Turtle.

I didn't know him well either, but he was one of the crew and 44 is way too early. RIP Turtle.

Well sonofabitch. I liked turtle. This is truly the most shitty year on record. All I can recall of him is that he had daughters, liked Sangria, and was a fan of Clutch, all of which puts him aces in my book. I hope his family weathers this okay. It's always a blow when a good guy like him leaves us and double so if he is kin. Do you know what got him David? Not that it matters. Shit this sucks. Thanks for letting us know though. That was decent of you.

Turtle was cool, and 44 is too young.
Looking at his Facebook page, it's pretty clear he was well liked by everyone. That's a telling sign of someone's good character.
@Tocky, on his Facebook page, someone explained in a public way that it was complications from diabetes.

Rest in peace, Turtle.

I don't know what to say, I'm pretty stunned by this. I saw it on Facebook and sort of didn't believe it until I checked here. I never interacted a whole lot with anyone here, but I've been hanging around for twenty years, and I remember Turtle well.
RIP dude. :(

I never met Turtle here but I send my condolences to all of you and to his family. That is too young to go.
