Krusin 0 #32 May 17, 2007 Connie and I share Mad John's sentiments. We hate to be the ones to post the bad news, but there it is. JP was a kind and caring individual, and will be surely missed. Some of you out there knew him only as Deuce Dad, but those of us who worked and played with him knew him as much more. He'd spent a couple days golfing with us recently, and was due to meet us at an A's game, when the incident occured. The facts of the incident in Mad John's post are correct. People may post and ask questions like; Couldn't we have known? or Why didn't someone try to help him? These are natural responses to a catastrophe such as this, but unhelpful. Those of us who were close to him knew something of the inner demons he battled, and helped him in the ways we could. The best any of us can do now is remember the man for the light he was in our lives, and keep his family in our prayers. Memorial services will be held at the Holy Rosary church in Antioch, CA at 10A.M. Thursday 24 May. I do not know the address but will post it when I do.

livendive 8 #36 May 17, 2007 That's enough!! I've had enough. Fuck! Peace could have been found in other ways. Now I just hope your girls can find some. Byron, your entire family weeps with you yet again. I wish I could fix every one of these. And the rest of you fuckers, quit fucking dying already, regardless of the how or why!

RkyMtnHigh 0 #38 May 17, 2007 Why does it seem like the universe is plucking our loved ones off one by one in mass amounts lately? I suppose that the more you get out there and meet people, the more you bond with and care for, and the more you know...still sucks really bad to say "goodbye" so frequently. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #43 May 17, 2007 This is so sad. I was just thinking of JP, earlier today. Fly free with Shannon, our beloved Deuce. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TallGuy 0 #44 May 17, 2007 I had a discussion with JP on the topic of suicide once (don't worry I'm quite content with life). He told me that it was a long term solution to a short term problem. It was a powerful statement and one that will stick with me. I hope it will stick with you. You were a leader of men JP. But why is it that leaders are so good at giving advice and so bad at taking it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gdmusumeci 0 #45 May 17, 2007 This... yeah. Blue skies JP. I'll miss you... and your sausage casing.... I somehow doubt I'll ever be able to dearch and not think of you, at least a little. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #47 May 17, 2007 I think skydiving and the community that JP found here helped keep him alive a lot longer than he would have been had he not found "us". Don't ask why nobody saw it coming.... why nobody did anything.... why you didn't do something..... You did. We did. This sport and this community filled his final years with a joy he would not have otherwise known. I want to thank you JP for not taking this to the drop zone. I know you love us. You know we love you. I know you held on as long as you could. I hope you are okay now. I hope you are at rest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Nightingale 0 #48 May 17, 2007 I have no idea what to say. I'm staring at my computer screen hoping someone will pop up and post "APRIL FOOLS!" even though it's not even April. JP was one of the people I was really looking forward to seeing at Byron this year. I feel angry with him for doing this, and then angry at myself for being angry. Damn, Deuce... You'll be missed.
