I just received a very sad phone call from a good friend who informed me that we have lost another great XJ man. He was known as Lion.

You will be missed by many my friend!

Re: Very Sad News Today....

oh NO!!! Lion (Kent) was a great guy! I wheeled with him in Moab and last saw him at Fiesta Island for SocalXJ. He was a former Chicagoan and a hardcore Cubs fan. I will miss him dearly. hope he's drinking a budweiser with Harry Caray now.

Anyone know his funeral services date and location?
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

I met him in Moab several years ago and my wife and I had the pleasure of having supper with with him at a Mexican food place. He was an individual.

Sad to hear of his passing.

Damn, can't believe it. :tear:

It's odd. Literally ten minutes ago, I was thinking about Mike O, who we lost two years ago. And now this.

Kent's posts were always a fun read because you never knew what he was talking about. :)

But he will be missed.
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

man what a nice guy he was. i met him at socal fest last year, he brought me a beer i had never heard of at 6am and told me to pop it open and join him in a drink :D

:cheers: heres one for you Kent, drink up.
 
Re: Very Sad News Today....

Re: Very Sad News Today....

ya know out of all of the socal folks my wife has met Lion is the only one I didnt have to remind her of who he is, when I told her the news she immediatly cried. I cant say we knew him well but damnit we were blessed to have known him.
