Remembering Andrew

dcarver · Nov 10, 2009

We lost Andrew today, 2 years back?

This is my remembrance of Andrew, through Tim, the Forum, and myself, of OrangevaleFJR, Andrew.

His posts, eloquent, his photos, exquisite.

I do miss my friend O'vale.

Oh, **** the stupid emoticons, I can't see them anyways.

My fellow forum family members...
It is with heavy heart and teared eyes that I bring you absolutely devastating news. My friend, my buddy, loving husband to Sherri, Andrew (Orangevale) is no longer with us. I just got a call from his best friend, Pat with the terrible news. I don't have all the details and I don't know that I can get any more tonight or tomorrow.

Friends, please put Andrew and his family in your thoughts. He is and will be forever in mine.

Rest in peace, my friend. You will be truly and dearly missed.

-Tim

Andrew

1966 - 2007

I remember you, my friend,

and your great soul

and promise of mind

So sad to see you go

tears

and why? tell me again, WHY?

You had so much to offer

and gave so much too

for your life to be given

for another who didn't love you

We rode some great roads together

I saw you sweep the bends

keeping up on corners

you had never been

and now you are gone

is it really only two years?

Goodbye again my friend, Andrew

I miss you with tears

May you be riding

with TWN and his peers

I will see you soon

hopefully not

I have lots of roads

yet to cross

I really miss my buddy. :****:

Hugs N Kisses, you fucker, I'm going to JimmyKick you hard in the balls when we meet up again..

Just sayin'

good night Andrew,

good night.

Can't believe that two years have passed since we read that terrible news. I never had the pleasure of meeting Andrew but we often talked via PM. He was going to bring home made salsa to the December campout at KahunaJawdge's place.

RIP Orangevale.

Me too!

How funny that I was just thinking of the dual sport ride ANdrew and I took through the foothills and met JB and Silent @ Murphys. While his ride reports were wonderful, the man, his outlook and ability to see life from different perspectives was a marvelous to enjoy.

Riding across the Continental Divide and over the high mesa of Colorado and on to Golden with Tim will always be a memorable ride. The dinner with @ Crested Butte and watching the lovely sunset with Tim and Joe on Joe's balcony was spectacular and special.

Dang....I miss them both. RIP, both of yuz.

GalaxyBlue · Nov 11, 2009

Wow...

I remember all this like it was yesterday.

Thanks for the reminder Don.

Miss you guys!

Better pick somebody else Tyler, word is the ex got his jewels in the divorce.

I never met Orangevale, but loved his posts. A lot of great pictures and good advice.

Tim I met at Golden and I will never forget his keeping my NAFO6 shirt for me. He not only held it because I had surgery and missed the meet, but schlepped it to Golden to personally hand it to me. I wore that shirt yesterday; every time I put it on I think of him. No man has ever made me laugh harder or more often. I miss both those SOB's.
