It is with a sad and heavy heart that I inform you that my dear friend Charlie, Chuck as I called him, has passed on to glory. He went peacefully in his sleep I'm told. I've known Chuck since the aol board days...his screen name there, was Charlie. When the boards dwindled I invited him to try first the dash site, then here as we all made the transition from one home to the next. Well, our Charlie decided to cut out completely and wait for us on the other side. He was my friend, my love, my confidante, my all around go to guy most times, and as dominating and hard headed as he was loving and kind and sweet and compassionate. Idk if y'all got to know him...but he was hard working, talented, trustworthy,, smart and funny...he was a photographer, artist, poet and writer...he taught me to trust my talents and to never forget I was beautiful....he made me believe I could do anything, challenged me without ever saying a word. Chuckie is gone but never forgotten....and I will miss him.

Services are planned for next week.

I put this announcement in this section because I wasn't sure where to put it and Chuck was a believer. Not a constant or consistent believer, but a believer in God, none the less. He, like all of us at some point, thought that God didn't and couldn't love him because of his lifestyle and we had long talks, debates and some knock

I am so sorry to hear that. We talked many times in chat. What a nice guy.

Such sad news.

We had this little thing. When I would first see him in chat, I'd do a *tap tap twirl* as if to the song "Tea for Two and Two for Tea." Silly, but it was fun and seemed to delight him.

I just hate to hear this.

So sorry to hear this. I don't get on the site as much as I used to, but had asked about T the last time I was in chat. I knew he had serious health issues but didn't know the full extent of it.
I am deeply moved by learning of his passing. Thank you Canela for a wonderful tribute to a great guy.

T4 told me once hy wanted me to attend hys funeral and speak about hym because hy believed I would capture hys essence.

We would often sit in the attic and tease each other, trying to see who could get under the other's skin a little first. T4 had a naughty streak like that. Hy was also incredibly witty. Hy happened to love Adam's spices and got me into them because hy was concerned that I was spending too much at Watkins. Hy had a dog that hy loved very much, and an ex that hy had managed to transcend any negativity with and move into a wonderful supportive friendship, which isn't surprising if you knew hym.

We spoke several times about hys health and possible early passing. Hy was brave and stoic. Hy endured many battles health wise and it's very fitting that hy passed peacefully in the night. Hy deserved that.

Hy was a kind and good and decent person and I'll miss hym very much.

May the road rise to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.


You are missed, T$.

Good Bye Ol' Friend, you will be missed....


Then Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death."

And he said:

You would know the secret of death.

But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?

The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.

If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;

And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.

Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?

Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.


Catch you later Cowboy :fastdraq:

Rest in Peace my dear friend. My heart is heavy knowing that you and I shall not be able to talking, text, or chat again in this life time, but my soul is light knowing you are now at rest. No more pain, or struggles to breath, or exhaustion from a short walk. Now you can chase the ladies freely, drive your dream truck, and do all the things you enjoy as you once did.

I will think of you fondly and smile....but know my heart will miss you terribly.

It speaks to our own mortality when we see our dearly beloved BF folks pass on. First it was Sweet Calico, then Mike, now T4.The chat room has lost some of its sparkle, but I am thankful for all the teasing and wisdom of T4. He helped me through break-ups, teased me about BDSM issues, and was a solid butch who I will always remember.

Sorry for your loss Canela. But, also, for the rest of us on the Planet. He was a keeper.

I am without words. When we talked a little while ago, I thought you were on the mend, doing better, in great spirits :) I had never considered. I hope you have the peace and painfree that you so deserve!

I've never posted anything in the forums before, and I haven't spent time on this site since meeting Charlie, but I had a feeling one of the folks on her list to call was a member here and might post the news. I see I was right.

I met Charlie last summer, first on this site, and later in person. I never thought I would meet someone from the internet--gasp!--but lo and behold...

These last six months have been alternately hellacious and beautiful. Hellacious because not much is worse than watching someone you love lie in a hospital bed, having pain, then getting a little bit better, then falling down again. But beautiful too in that I was blessed to spend almost every day by her side.

This last week was transformative. I sat by her bedside, holding her hand like she asked me to do, as she faded from this world. I can tell you she died in peace and was made comfortable in her final days. She lost consciousness Tuesday night and her heart stopped beating on Thursday.

She was precious. She was loved. By me, by many of you I see. I wish I had known her longer, but I feel I couldn't have known her better. Our time was profound, our conversations varied and deep. We had fun. We went places and did things. We laughed. We cried. We argued and made up. She was many things to me, but at the end of the day, at the heart of it all, she was my friend. My very dear friend. Canela, I hope to meet you at the service. I, along with her friend of 35 years, spent yesterday making the arrangements. Charlie had asked that in lieu of flowers, anyone who can should make a donation to the kidney disease or cancer charity of your choice.

Please message me if you'd like more details about the service. Once we have the obituary posted online, I will try to put the link here (if that's possible).

My heart is full, if not broken. I was lucky in that I left nothing unsaid, and as far as I know, neither did she. Charlie made me know how much she loved me, right up to the end. What an honor, a blessing, and a gift to be there, to know her, to love her. I will miss her. Something terrible. And I will always, always hold her dear.

I met Charlie in person, when I visited her in the hospital, a while ago. She was a good friend. At least she is no longer in pain, and can move freely now. Take care, Charlie, we're going to miss you.

I'm so very glad to see you here. And I'm so happy that we will finally have a chance to meet. He loved you very much. You made him very happy. You were exactly the angel he'd been waiting for. I look forward to meeting you and M and others who loved him. Bless you, love. Canela

~Sigh~ Brings to mind that life is short, friends are important, and that we need to say I love you much more often and louder...
My heart weeps for Canela and Charlies family and friends. But my heart also assures my mind that Charlie is now in a much better place. Gone is the aches and pains, the regrets and the wonder of validations... My friend, your free now, you can run, you can ride, you can fly...
Charlie mentioned many times of this moment, but I don't think we truly are ever ready for it when it comes. For now I say Aloha, and farewell.... You never liked the G**d *ye's, Just a strong Hug and a crossed arm hand shake and that was your joy... Keep them laughing and fill heavens bookshelves with all your wisdom...

This made me sad but also happy. Sad that we've lost T4. Happy to see how many lives touched. I chatted with T4 a time or two in chat. Seemed like a lovely human being.

Candles lit for those left behind. I doubt T4 needs one. I think the way will be clear.
