Remembering SnoreDog

Post by scrapper » Tue Feb 08, 2011 10:07 pm

I just researched something and came across an old post of SnoreDog's.............I had forgotten how funny the guy could be! So I'm remembering SnoreDog, and missing his wonderfully funny contributions to this forum!

I know. I really miss that I don't have anyone to call a crochety ole fart any more. And no one could pick on me the way SnoreDog could. He could make me chuckle even as he rattled my chain - and I always did my best to get back at him. *sigh*

About 2 days ago, I was looking at my old posts (not sure what lead me there...) and ended up following several of SnoreDog's responses.

He made a certain difference in my early therapy days......

Rest well....

At times I became frustrated with his caustic answers -- but then again it was in the form of tough love many times.

He was very beneficial in my learning curve and he is greatly missed. I hope he is looking down with a smile on his face reading how much we miss him!!

I liked his junkyard dog/rip-your-face-off approach to
spammers, trolls and idiots.

He was one of a kind for sure. You wanted to be very certain of your facts and have a lot of material to back them up if you questioned anything he posted The man came by his knowledge the hard way, and he used that knowledge to help an awful lot of people.

He's probably laughin' at us

I have been away for a while and just read this post. I am saddened to hear that he is no longer with us. Snoredog convinced me to try the Soyala Mask and he was right on the money!!! He was so knowledgable and was so quick to help. Thank you Snoredog for all you gave here on CPAPTALK.

Surely he is breathing freely and keeping an eye on us.

Sometimes the Zen comes on the gentle breeze....

...and sometimes it comes w/a 2X4 upside the head.

.....it's all good.
