I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news,but one of my friends and I am sure one of yours, Bumper, has passed away. I am not sure if you all on the Blunder Board have heard about it. I know he had at one time been active here,but not sure how recent. He was a good man. I will post more info if you want. We miss him more than we could have imagined. Thank you..

We haven,t seen Bumper in some time,I,ve wondered as I,m sure others have of where he is,how he is etc.So sorry to hear this,
Rest in peace Bump...

R.I.P. Bumper. We had some fun times here though we never met in person.

And yes, please post more info .

Rest well, Bumper. We did have some good times!

Thank you, Redbeard, for letting us know.

We'll miss you, Dave, a.k.a. Bumper--Group W Bench's own Sarah'n'Diputy, Black Irish, Libran, caregiving, artistic, selectively oblivious vagabond.

There may be a later one, but this is the last post of his that I could find, from November 2005, and I think it's kind of fitting here:

Very cool, Pitts Joe, I've always related to Dylan's, "it takes a lot to laugh, it Takes a Train to Cry" especially Leon Russel's version/cover.
For those w/ looong memories, Larry & Nathen & I, back in 2002, i think, invented the religion of "Selective Obliviosity', The art of identifying what part of what you don't know, is unknowable, so you can get on with what you do know and learn of what you don't and can't...ya know...???
At this moment, I don't know what that has to do with anything, so, I guess I'm practicing it..need more coffee...

Bumper visited with us for a couple of days on one of the Florida-to-California trips. And what a trip he was! Besides Sarah Lee, he had a passion for Montserrat and if there's anything left of us when we die, that part of him is probably there now.

We've often wondered where he was and if he was OK. Thank you Redbeard, for your time and trouble in letting us know.

i knew it was just a little too sunny and bright a day today... needed to be extra bright to tuck in a little darkness that's come our way I guess.

so long bumper.

heh heh... now he's gotta talk to todd! hmmmm... somehow I'm jealous!

sorry to hear about this...
but thanks for letting us know.

Now I remember him from some of his postings; nice work, Larry. Sorry to hear of his passing. Selective Obliviousity doesn't work when the grim reaper's around, I guess.


mikey

So long, Bumper! May you be forever surrounded by your butterscotch babes!

Awww, this is sad. So sorry to hear about him. I had been wondering what had happened to him & some others, like Deb, Pat, Sherry, Pat Rainey & others. Is he the one that liked British Mini Cooper cars? Every time I saw one it would remind me of him for some reason. Thanks for letting us know. Rip...

RIP, Bumper......

Sorry to hear about this, he sounds like a great person.

So long it's been good to know ya. Say hi to Todd and my mom if you see them.

Bye Bumper! You'll be missed!

RIP Bumper. I guess that proves the good die young. I don't believe he was that old a guy...?//? Anyhow any Blunderite that bites the dust, will be sadly missed. I remember bump was a great friend of Starchild.... I'm sure she is certainly saddaned by this news.....

Off to a bigger and better blunder my friend.
