3. Don't go making us all sad.

:hug:

Three damn years and just now realizing how I don't think I'll ever find such a great late night phone companion.

6. It would sure be nice to have him around here again.

We are after all, about to enter into the twilight zone of our democracy-- it's getting near election time as we all know. I'm sure he's watching exactly what is going on right now from wherever he is. He wouldn't miss this election. Not a chance.

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. So do I. Every day.

I'd love to hear what he thinks about the upcoming election.

[helderheid]

10. You

:hug:

Thanks for keeping us all updated during his struggle. You are a Godsend to him and us.

12. He was one of the best friends I have had.

That last Christmas that he shared with my family was wonderful. They all thought he was so great, so full of fire. Even the Republican members.

:hug:

[helderheid]

14. Do you ever hear from Ted or Ballot?

:hug:

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. Every Christmas.

Ted has a second dog now, named Rudy.

Oops, edited to fix typo.

[helderheid]

18. That's wonderful.

11. It's tough knowing we are going to the polls in a presidential year without him looking out for us n

[helderheid]

13. maybe he is.

oh foo. I hate getting sentimental. I really miss him though. What an amazing spirit.

[GardeningGal]

19. I think he's doing everything he can to look out for us.

IMHO, his energy is still around us and trying to keep things honest.

:hug:

21. I noticed Cindy Sheehan hit the headlines just at the point where Andy

Had been gone a short while.

I sometimes think of her as his revenge on the Powers that Be. If a person can pull political strings on the other side, I see that as one string he'd enjoy pulling.

15. i miss him too--didn't know him personally

but got caught up with his threads--i remember him posting about the nebraska larry king story that i obsessed over for about 12 hours one day/night!

i was one of many who donated--tried to be of help--wanted him to be alright.
i think of him now and then....
i miss him too.

[helderheid]

17. I didn't know him well, but we wrote from time to time and I supported his work 110%

I'll always remember the night his skin broke out and he was so scared he was dying. I'll also never forget the night he passed.

[johnaries]

23. I only knew him through DU, but I felt like I knew him personally.

He was a friend to all of us here. He was a friend to Democracy. I miss him too, but at least his legacy lives on.

20. Andy called me once while he and Termite were in Baltimore

and we talked for half an hour about the brass fixtures at the HomeDepot there.

There's nothing like sharing hardware with good friends.

lol

:hi:

[LWolf]

22. So do I.

I also miss nostamj.

And Kephra.
