He would stand around the fire at night & wobble & people would say "Ya better watch him, looks like he's about to fall" we would answer "Naw that's out Webble, He Wobbles but never falls down". Well, he fell down. But as someone put it, he'll get back up in Vanner Heaven & keep on wobbleing.

As much of a hard time we use to give each other - I miss that little guy already!

There is a big hole in our hearts right now. Myron, although we never called him that, was a very nice vanner. A little crabby at times but who isn't. He was always a friend to me and Suzie. We could sit and talk about nothin' for hours. His sense of humor was always in gear, and he typically had a smile for you as well. He was a constant, in an otherwise changing world. We'll miss him greatly.

With Much Sadness,
Steve and Suzie

...and he will miss this year's Van Jam, and if there is to be and Institution as well.

Buggie--you were always one of the sweetest guys to me, and we had such a good time together--even if we were doing nothing but sitting on 'our side' of the table!! We didn't no help did we!!! hee hee "Their loss" as you would tell me!

Vannin' in this part of the world sure is going to be different this year--and I may cry a time or 5! So just bear with me kids--I'll snap out of it!

And, isn't that Kelly standing next to Myron in that pic?!? How freaky is that Dee Jaye--I miss her too, especially since I fill some of her duties with the Vanners! And I think I see a Bad Girl there as well--fuzzy pic--but only a few of us have 'duct tape' bracelets!

Sorry--beer wasting today! It helps, but I so miss our friend....Cherish them every one you have!! Cherish them!
Tell them you love them and I don't care how freakin' macho they think they are--everyone needs to say it and everyone needs to hear it!

I love you!
(see--didn't that feel good!?!)

Thanks to all for your condolences & yes Suzi that is Kelly (another loss from SOVC)
standing beside Bugman. It was the only good pic I had of him with his club coat on.
All others were from the back.


The others in the pick are Bev, Pirate Boy,Woodstock & if you tell by the duct tape on the arm - BGFNY Sandy

Bugman Update:

He's wishes are to be cremated, taken to Florida & have his ashes spread over his favorite fishing spot.

We have been with his sisters from Florida all day cleaning out his apartment and sharing Bugman vanning stories. Hopefully we will be finished by Thursday as they are going back to Florida Friday.

They didn't know what to do with all his vannin stuff so they left that to us. He didn't want a fuss made of his passing but we will do a memorial at Van Jam. We will have his vannin t-shirts, loose patches & dash plaques. I'm not sure if we are selling or giving them away (need to talk more to his sister concerning this).

Bugman will be with us in spirt (Free Spirit) at Van Jam.
