FlyHi Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I am stunned! This was so left field for me like so many others too. We have lost a truly remarkable young man from Dinarland. When I had Internet available I always zeroed in on SWFG posts to read first. He brought much to the table, but always impressed me with his diligent, courteous respectful replies to all who commented on his research. I loved that it was just his opinion, yet somehow his conviction and earnest belief in what he shared was likeable. A truly good kind guy. I also was eager to see what uncommon words he managed to incorporate into each of his epistles. I delighted in his vast use and command of the English language! I only wish like others that I had the chance to meet him F2F. Well that will wait until another place now! You will long be held in our memory and forever be held in our highest esteem! RIP SWFG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watercop Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I too checked in after an absence hoping to find good news only to find this. God be with his family and friends. Our prayers go out to all of the good people that will miss him. There will be many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezrapound Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Whether or not he realized it or that we who remain behind realize it, he gave us all a great lesson. That lesson is pure and simple and one which I trust we will all keep in the forefront of our minds. It is this: That hopes and dreams and information that are shared on a forum such as this CAN be done without sarcasm, bashing, negativity and in a very dignified and civilized manner. Not once did I ever see him lose his cool, even when there was no doubt his feathers were ruffled, he still replied with respect and courtesy. I think that is something we could ALL use more of. He set a fine example for us to follow not only in our personal lives, but in our interactions with others as well. Thanks for the class act Dan.

Rayzur Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm at a complete loss for words... had to get up and walk away a few times.. still don't have the words.... We were going to do lunch at one of our favorite BH restaurants Portabella, next time he was in town... hang out, do the town and trade stories... My brain doesn't wrap around this one very well....

RAGARCIA62 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Very sad news. He was definitely a very good researcher and writer.

cooked Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I keep looking and hoping someone will say this is a hoax and he is alive and well. It is so hard to accept. I admit it I am selfish and wish he were here for us/me. I don't want to believe this. I was so much looking forward to seeing him at one of the post rv parties. Now I must wait(hopefully for a while) to see him at the next step. I just wish someone would say this is just a bad dream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo322 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm not a poster but come here regularly to visit the News thread. I have always respected SWFG's input and certainly appreciate the time and effort he put into his posts. Thank You SWFG, for the education and insight you have shared with all of us. I will miss your contribution. Carello, since you have contact with his sister, please make sure his family see's how respected he was and how many lives he has touched here on D/V. I take comfort in knowing Dan is with God now and pray for his family and friends as they work through this time of grief. When I saw he was an AC/DC fan, this song came to mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZo12LIWqYw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadita Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 To SWFG family : our deepest sympathy for your loss. Even though a lot of us in this site don't know him personally but we grew to love him and respect what he got to say and recognize he was a fine young man, respectful and very intelligent. It's not only your loss but it's our loss too.. We have lost one fine young man that we are all proud to call him friend. There are a lot of questions that might not be answered right now but know that The Lord is there with you and your family. I pray God gives you strength, peace and cover you all with His grace abundantly. He is out of our sight but he lives in the hearts of the people whose life has been touched by him. To DV Family : I realize DV has become my family and friends that I frequent everyday. Either I am working or bored or just curious yes a lot of us have not seen each other face to face but the bond and the sense of community is here. We mourn through our loss and we miss their presence, we rejoice when a baby is born, new job, wedding, healing, we pray and lift up and encourage each other, not to forget the banter and ranting but yet when one is fallen, we can unite and reminisce. The cyber friendship that seems to be so strange and far fetched but yet is so entwined in our daily lives. We know each other through our usernames and yet, we manage to form friendship and we can miss a person. Some have conversation through phone calls, emails, etc. What started as an investment has led us to a deeper meaning such as friendship, love, sharing and caring. I hope and pray that none of us will forget how we get here because we congregate in this site or other sites not by mistake or chance but because God led us here.. one way or the other, someone, somewhere, somehow has met our needs when we need the little push, an ear to lend, a shoulder to cry, and just being there. So, I will leave you with this : LIVE WELL, LOVE MUCH and LAUGH OFTENLife is precious and a gift that we take for granted till we get a wake up call and realize how fragile life is, as it’s only a vapor…one minute we are breathing and the other minute could be the last breath we take, so enjoy it as you only live for today.Love is a word that used very often even for hamburgers and hot dogs.. but do we know the true meaning of love ? if we say, we love…do we truly mean it ? if we say we love, we should show it in a simple way, in an act of kindness as love is the greatest gift of all and everyone needs love… so, instead of saying love, show love It is said that laughter is the best medicine as it releases endorphins in your body, the chemical that makes you happy the more you laugh, the happier you are so don’t sweat the small stuff…find good in everything… chuckle at the things that bother you and soon enough it won’t bother you and you will be smiling and without you realizing, you will be laughing.. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergirl, I am with you.. I have no contact but would like to send flower arrangements. If we know where he lives, we probably could get an orbituary on the paper. I think he is going to have a military service.. I thought he was in navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand how you feel Supergirl, we are all at a lost. Its hard to stay focus no matter how many topics cross the board. It's hard to even chuckle at some. But we pray, and ask God to help us move on as well. We continue to send prayers to SWFGuy's family, they need our prayers. SWFGuy's words may now be silenced, but his memory that he left with so many of us will be embedded in our hearts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something deep within me wants to agree with you on this. Maybe its just that SWFG was so well loved here, or maybe we just don't want to let him go. But whatever it is this one thing I know, this is the internet," and they can't tell you a lie on the internet". lol I too will be holding out until this has been given some more factual evidence to its validity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
