    Very sad news

    Our friend and brother VX enthusiast Handeeman is no longer with us. It had been a very long time since I had any contact with him so I started doing some searching. He passed away back in January. I knew that he'd been fighting kidney cancer last summer. His fighting spirit and good humor will be sorely missed - he was one of the good ones.

    God bless you Handito & give you a big hug from the VX family.

    Very sad news indeed. Things just haven't been/ won't be the sam around here without him. Handeeman will be sorely missed.

    It's always sad when we lose one of our own, and that applies to whatever "our" happens to be. Fellow enthusiasts, friends, team mates, neighbors, and especially family members.

    But now have a good thought for him and everyone whose lives will be less joyful without him, and celebrate the memories of our newest patron watching over our endeavors.

    Peace,

    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
    Good humor indeed.

    oh my, so sad to hear.

    Handee was a real joy to know, and a very funny guy. Some of us knew he was very sick but it still hurts to face it.

    Tom, I've got to share a joke he was planning on you.....
    About 2+ years ago, when I posted the pic of all my hotwheels/ VX models on a wooden log, there was a silver one that had a wheel come off.....and "crashed" falling off the log. We said that was Gussie's VX.

    Handee (Mike) had a really fun idea, he contacted me and wanted one of my Proton 1:43 VX, AND the loose wheel/tire from the silver one. So I got those shipped off to him......anybody see where this is going???

    He planned on gluing the wheel/tire to the back door of the Proton and sending it to Tom......

    Sadly, he got too sick to do it, but as I think back on that, I find he can still make me smile and laugh!
    Rest peacefully my friend and keep 'em laffin' up there!

    From a Handee post....

    One of my favorite things to do daily



    Thought I'd share one of my favorite things to do daily with my fellow VX'rs that are also animal lovers.
    To all animal lovers and friends:

    I checked Snopes.com, this is TRUE.
    Just make 2 clicks: one to go to the site, then click on the purple box
    http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/
    SPCA - Free and Quick -please do it
    The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.


    ======



    Jo
    VX.info...PLEASE SUPPORT THIS SITE WITH YOUR VOLUNTARY $20 DONATION...
    Absolutely the best $20 you'll spend per year on your VX.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. See you on the other side Handee...

    I always worry when one of the good members suddenly disappear.

    RIP Handee - your humour gave me more than one coffee through the nose moment.
