Morning folks, coffee, tea and DC. No breakfast, it's 1:55 am.
I really don't remember much of Friday, just after eating, my left side started thumping. At the Cafe, they helped Sheri Lynn get me up off the floor and we made it home. Second seizure was on my porch, 911 was called. I woke up Sat. late. Hair is mostly gone. Still very unbalanced, picked up a sore throat and minor heartburn every time I swallow. One Dr. screwed up and didn't read the orders and we waited 8 hours to get out of the hospital.
Too many new meds to list.
Saw the Cancer Doc, got my first Chemo treatment late, so skipped yesterday. Today and tomorrow the a few days off.
I may be mostly housebound for a while, except for Doc visits.
PLEASE DON'T MAIL CARDS, HERE IS GOOD FOR ME.
Wishing all a great day.

Hospitals are the worst place when you're sick, you get no rest and it's noisy all the time. It's always good to be home; it's what we know and are comfortable with.
Get some rest, don't be a stranger, keep us up to date.

For years this site was my first stop on Monday mornings just to see how Bruce had spent his week end and enjoy all the great photo's he took of the people he had met while enjoying his week end. I never had the pleasure of meeting the man but it was clear to me that he enjoyed life to the fullest and was willing to share it with us all. So for one last time, Thanks Grumpy!

Thanks for all your pictures and comments.

Darn it, I just read this and I am very sad to hear about Bruce.
I meet Grumpy in Florida about four years ago and we had a beer together along with my wife.
He was sort of a laid back guy, seemingly taking things as they came along.
Although the visit was short, he was the kind of man you didn't forget.
His armchair tours every Sunday night was always a refresher to start the new week.
May you rest in peace Bruce, I will miss your tours and the bikinis.
God bless on your new journey. :sad: :sad:
Don
:sad:
Like most, never met him, but feel that in a way I knew him by reading his posts and am very sorry to hear this. Condolences to his family and friends, rest in peace Grumpy.
RIP, Bruce. We will remember you forever. Have a great time with Samuel and Luther. Say hello to ChopperBob66. You guys ride safe up there.
RIP Grumpy, will miss all your weekly posts...prayers to the family and friends to help remember the good and cope with such a tragedy... may you find peace on your new journey Grumpy...

He will be missed, that is for sure.
Gods speed Grump.
This says it all about his courage...From his last blog: "See ya, next time. G : ("
my Sunday's will never be the same,he made me smile on winter days with the sunny florida pictures.Grumpy will be truly be missed by us all.
And another hole is punched in my heart. Loved his posts, his spirit, and his outlook on life. Damn pollen, screwing with my eyes again. RIP Bruce, hope that I do get to see you down the road sometime! :sad:
I was fortunate enough to meet G at one of the last OFOPOS's Chili Burns in Newcomerstown Ohio some years ago.
As was said he was a genuinely warm person and I enjoyed my time there even more because of him.
I'm both shocked and saddened to hear he's gone, I had always been hoping he would regain his health as I'm sure the rest of us were.
Goodbye my friend, thanks for the smiles.
Mike
I don't even know what to say after reading this news a few minutes ago. Seems like so much death around lately. I literally just got in the door from the funeral of Laurie's mother, and thought I'd lurk around here a bit. So sorry to read of Grumpy's passing. I will miss his pics and posts. I always enjoyed those. It sounds shallow that those pics and posts are what I will miss, but I unfortunately never got the chance to meet him. Definitely my loss from what I've read from those that did get to meet him. God bless him, his family and all of his friends.
Paul
I don't know what to say.
I am SO very tired of burying the folks in my life.Last year, my sister, 2 weeks ago, a good friend's son. He was on a bike and rear ended by a semi)
I met, rode with, and even wrenched on Grumpy's bike once.
Truck, Pic brings back a LOT of memories. Can it really have been 12 years ago? Does OFOPOS still get together?
I met Bruce at the Horse one Sunday last fall, like everyone says he was warm and friendly guy. He insisted on taking my picture and darned if it didn't show up on one of his Sunday posts!
RIP Bruce :sad: you will be missed by all of us here on HTT .
lonerider2, Ralph
I've got a lot of good old biker friends where you are Grumpy. They'll see that you get a good start there.
REST IN PEACE GRUMPY :sad:
I'm very sad to hear this news. I was lucky enough to have met grumpy in person on a couple of occasions, and he was a super nice guy. RIP Bruce. :sad:
I too, just am reading this, and its very sad. I had been looking daily for updates, and was wondering how things were going. I hope he is at peace now, and just think of all the bikinis he gets to chase now! They say when you get there, you go to the best your body was, so just think of them all! Rest in peace, Grumpy, tought and prayers for you and your loved ones. :sad:
Just sat down to enjoy the evening and this appears. Very sad news.
I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. RIP! :sad: I feel fortunate to have meet him and had a beer with him at the Legion once. Thank you for your service Grumpy!!! :up: :up: Prayers and condolences for his family.

I hate hearing this but saw it coming. Have lost two uncles, both WWII vets to cancer. One hit Omaha beach and marched into Berlin; the other served in the Pacific theater. Tough to watch strapping, strong men whither away to nothing. I did not know Grumpy but looked forward to his photos and sense of humor; I will miss him. :sad:

This from Grumpy's daughter.
As I mentioned before, the memorial/funeral (will be Saturday the 23rd) That is all I have planned, at this time. I will try for mid-afternoon, so that even those overseas can be there in spirit. It has been suggested a video of it, do a live feed, and a planned moment of silence. I believe there may be a ofopos memorial patch in the works, as well.
I am well aware of the worldwide impact, my father's death has had. I always knew he had friends all over the world. It has been overwhelming seeing the outpouring. I haven't been able to read through more than a few without crying, yet it warms my heart too.
I will do my best to do somethings to honor the man who was my daddy, even as an adult woman. Who was a father, brother, uncle, ex-husband , friend, biker, lover, photographer, chronicler, secret poet, warrior, veteran, hero, philanthropist, and life long scholar of life.
I will likely post an event on here for the moment of silence. Not sure, yet, about video or live feed. I am meeting with funeral director, today. I am planning a final weekly, but it may not be Sunday, as I am sure you realize I am quite busy getting his affairs in order.
I also will be memorializing his Facebook page, when I am ready to let it go, because once it's memorialized, it's locked. I will be asking everyone to send me dates and photos of his various excursions around the world, so that I can chronicle them on his profile. You'll have seen, above, I set up a Dropbox folder to collect and share pictures of him and his travels. I set up an email Grumpys_LittleStinker@yahoo.com (if you've seen the tattoo, you'll understand) to send pics and more in-depth details on the whens and where's of his travels. Also, all of the clubs, websites, blogs etc he belonged to.
Once again, a profound and whole-heated thank you to all who have sent their love, prayers and condolences. It is beyond possible to 'like' or comment and each and every one. ~ Sheri Lynn
R.I.P. Grumpy Really liked hanging out at the meet and greets and riding around Daytona area with you. (http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab353/Bocevil/DSCF0347.jpg) (http://s879.photobucket.com/user/Bocevil/media/DSCF0347.jpg.html)

rip grumpy I think we will all miss u
Thanks for making the winters warm and sunny. RIP Grumpy.
Grumpy was a nice interesting person that reached out to people. He was genuinely interested other people. We were fortunate to have met Grumpy and are deeply touched by his passing. On our meet and greet we met at a nice place for his favorite meal breakfast and bought him a$250,000 lotto scratch off ticket, (Was $5.00) but told Grumpy "If you win you buy breakfast". We enjoyed his warmth, And truly respect him because he lived by the rule that you are only a stranger but once !

Never had the pleasure in person but I have found myself making a point of looking for his weekly posts ever Sunday evening. He touched more lives than he knew, I'm sure. Godspeed, Grumpy. I'm sure the roads up there are fantastic, the scenery beautiful, and the weather is always perfect.
Can someone tell me if there are TWO Memorial services planned for Grumpy?? on this , friends gone but not forgotten it says Saturday the 23th, a posting over in the General posting it says Sunday the 24th. Just wondering, can't get to the Horse on Sat. the 23rd but could make it Sunday the 24th. :scratch:

Just guessing but I think the Saturday memorial was what Grumpy's daughter had in mind at the time and after some planning it turned into Sunday.
RIP Grumpy! Really enjoyed your thoughts and photos. :sad:
oh no.....this is sad.....can't imagine how those close to him must be feeling. Very sorry for Bruce's family and friends, Sheri Lynn, Randy, Steve, Lisa, ofopos, htt buds and other forums. Wow, since the msn days, about 15 years of pics.....and crook for the last few. All that downloading, organising, uploading and commentary......huge effort on his part....appreciated by many, many people. Going to miss getting around with Grumpy. A lot.
RIP my friend
:sad: :sad:
This is very sad news..Grumpy and his wonderful pictures helped get me through the Milwaukee Winters.thoughts and prayers for his Family and Friends
Sad indeed. Always enjoyed his pics and commentary. May he rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Grumpy, you will be missed. :sad:
RIP Bruce. :sad:
The first I met Grumpy was at his meet and greet at the Legion. I made it to 4 of his meet and greets and he and I went out to lunch a couple of times. He was a very easy guy to get along with and helpful to many people. I know he will be missed for his Sunday pictures here at HTT and his friends in Florida that he helped.
