Roadman

I think Mark lived life as he chose & after his stroke he wouldn't have been able to do that....   I know we grieve & he will be missed but I also honestly believe he wouldn't have like living with the restrictions he would have had after his stroke.....   
I think many of us likely feel the same way... I know I do....
He enjoyed helping others but I'm guessing he never wanted to feel like he was a burden, no matter that any of us would have happily been there for him, he wouldn't have wanted that.... I could be wrong... But somehow I don't think I am....

If someone thinks this is inappropriate say the word, I'll delete it.... 

I think you are right on. When I was down there in January he would lightly grumble a bit about his health issues at that time and that was well before his stroke. At the same time it was hard to tell he was dealing with some troubles. He wore it well and like you say, he didn't want to be a burden.

I agree. He and I had talked about this many times. Better to go quickly than sitting around waiting helplessly for it to happen.

I don't know who you two are calling old but they're likely not going to be too happy with you if they find out!

Your probably spot on. Even though I didn't know Mark I feel the same way as you described.
I've come to have some medical issues over the past couple years, COPD,High blood pressure occasional dizzy spells. Part of getting older.
And no I wouldn't want to be a burden on my family or friends either or live the rest of my life not being able to do for myself what I want.

"To live in minds we leave behind is not to die" is very appropriate. Celebrate his life.

Got to know Roadman over the phone.  He went out of his way to look at a Cuda for me.  Saved me from a few bad purchases. 

Rest in peace brother.

Like the quote "To live in minds we leave behind is not to die"
An appropriate tribute to the man.
We of course all get old eventually (still cant't believe I am in my mid 60's.)
I put my car away in 1984 and just took it out of storage to work on it three years ago.

Take the best care of yourself as possible and do what you enjoy for as long as you can!
Time is fleeting

I still think about Roadman a lot and sure do miss that guy.
