I know Loudy.
Would even call him my friend.

He looks like the "I see dead people" kid, all grown up.



Glad you're still kicking old dude.
Slice prays for you often.

That's really good news Gramps. I expect you'll be around plenty long enough to see Cruz serve two full terms as POTUS. :)

I had planned on waiting until mid January to make this post but thought I would go ahead and post before the year was over.

2015 has been the most nerve racking year of my life. The first half of the year was filled with with many highs and lows from a mental perspective.

I was told in the 2nd week of January 2015 that I have cancer and had maybe 6- 8 months to live. I think that is something no one can comprehend unless they are told this personally.

I started this thread at a very low point and did not plan to ever post on here again. Granny and I sat down and decided to get a second opinion then a third. I think we decided to go with a great oncologist with a fantastic support team.

Needless to say but it has been over 11 months and the ole man is still kicking and doing much better. I visited my oncologist last month and was told my tumor has shrunk about a third.

I of course am no longer attempting to work, sold my little business and sit home , read and study my Bible and play on Volnation. Over the years I have come to feel some of you guys are good friends that I only know through VN. I thank each and everyone of you for the support, kind words and prayers you have given me this year. I still have cancer but with the help of God I plan on beating this. Eleven months ago my hope of living was gone.

I don't know how much longer I have to live nor does anyone but I want to thank you all for putting up with me. May God bless you and your families. If you don't know God, I pray you meet him and let him into your life. It does make life easier, especially in trying times. It is also good to know when this life is over I am trading my little house for a mansion in heaven.

Keep me and Granny in your prayers, please.


Go Vols.

Take it from me. I beat cancer and you can too. I'm pulling for you old man. It's 90% mental and you have a great attitude. That's a huge battle won there.

Don't let the doctors put god in a box. They can't tell you you have x # of months to live. They're putting god in a box and saying he can't do something. You know better than that. It can be beat.

Keep your head up. Keep dating granny. Keep supporting your team and most of all keep yourself healthy. Take care ole boy.

Great news Gramps!! Listen to Kentucky sucks, everything he said is true.

I hope it's in a spot that can be removed surgically when it's small enough.

My father, Gramps made me promise him I would make this post for him in the event something should happen to him.
With great sorrow I must report that my dad is no longer with us. He fought a hard battle, in the end the cancer won.
My dad said he did not know anyone on this forum on a personal level but stated he had made some great friends here.
I ask that you please remember Granny and our family in your prayers.

He ask to to sign this post as:
Go Big Orange.
Gramps out.

Oh no. I'm very sorry for your loss. I think he was a good man who did his best to keep us in line and reminded us of God's words.

May he rest in peace.

Thoughts and prayers with the Gramps family today. This world is certainly a lesser place without him.

Mods....can we "sticky" this for a little while so it stays at the top of the thread?
Many have been asking about Gramps and will need to know that he is no longer in pain.

Gramps was a special man, so very strong in his faith. I'll miss his humor and compassion greatly. My condolences to his family.

First time in years I have shed a tear.

My heart breaks for you and your family. I enjoyed his input and the arguments we had, the world was a better place with him here.
