I was going to type something but I don't know what to say . . . .
If you're a FB user, Bear is Michael F. Raczko. Several of us are friends with him, and the tracks will lead you to Kathy. I'm sure she would appreciate reading anything you'd care to type.

I can't imagine a world with out BUN. I hope and pray that things turn around.

I found you a new motto from a sign hanging on their wall…"Drink coffee: do stupid things faster and with more energy"
C'mon you big ol' Bruin, we're all pulling for you...

My thoughts are definitely with BUN and his family.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. -Martin Luther King Jr.
My prayers and thoughts are with Bear and his family today. Thanks Veloise for posting it last night to give everyone a heads up.

Wow. I'm actually quite emotional right now.
Kicking myself in the ass for never meeting up with BUN at a Stanfest. Stupid me.

Just heard he passed away a few minutes ago. RIP Bear.

Awful news. I recommend we rename a portion of Cyburbia after the Bear. I have no words...

I'm so sad. I feel like I just lost a member of my family.
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

This is very, very sad news!
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. -- John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961
RIP BUN - Cyburbia will miss you. DeNoc will live on in our hearts.

The beatings will continue until morale improves!
I am sorry I don't have any words beyond what has been said above.
most of all I had fun talking about De Noc, reading about Michigan - the UP and the Great Lakes, and his two winning submittals to to Banned Word List from LSSU.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
From Kelly's Heroes (1970)
Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)
So sorry to hear, was never able to meet BUN, but always enjoyed his posts.
This is incredibly sad. Bear contributed so much to our group. He was loved by all and will be missed.
Anyone want to adopt a dog?
Oh, no. I am truly sad. Rest in peace, Bear... Michael.
I never met him, yet I felt like I knew him, because he shared so much with us.
Having met Mike several times in person I am feeling his loss most keenly. Katie, if you are reading this please know our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor
This is very sad news indeed. Bear was/is part of our cyburb family. Not a planner, but a intregal part of this existence. I will be raising a couple of Rolling Rocks in his honor tonight. He and Katie are in our prayers. RIP brother Michael
Maybe the new title for the annual Random Thoughts could be called "The Bear Report" ... maybe not, just a thought.
