Damn. Not really sure what else to say.

Question...gofundme apparently doesn't take PayPal. Anyone know a way around that?

He was one of my favorites here. A very sad day.

We will keep reminding the Planet to help out about the upcoming debt you will have.

Stick around yourself and talk some football and life when you feel like it in the future. :thumb:

My grandmother went through something like that last year before she passed of wernicke's encephalopathy (she wasn't an alcoholic). She didn't know who any of us were, which was really rough, only 16 and experiencing that.

Before cancer got my mom she had a few good "rallies" in the hospital. It hurt to say goodbye but was great to see her still fighting it. Cancer sucks so much ass. Praying for no pain for Dave and peace for you and his family.

Ahh damn. Tell BigmeatballDave we love him too.

Damn, what a bummer.

I'm all for honoring Dave by changing the name of the Lounge but I'd prefer to that his original user name, BigChiefDave, be used instead of his current name, which only came into being after his cancer diagnosis.

Yeah I agree. I think he became BigMeatballDave around the time where CP was discussing food... A lot. I think it was around the time Bugeater became Baconeater, PGM became Pasta Giant Meatball and Fire Me Boy became Fried Meatball. When I began posting, I believe his username was just, "Dave." I don't think I was around for the BigChiefDave username...but it's cool.

I lost my brother 2 years ago to GBM. He was 30, like Dave, way too young.

If I can help you with anything Nick, please reach out.

Sry to hear about your mom. Both my grandparents on my mom's side got Alzheimers and that was tough. I visited my grandma once in the hospital. She couldn't even speak. All she could do was look at me and smile. I don't even know if she recognized me at that point. That was the one and only time I could do that. She didn't last long in there anyway. My poor grandpa had to be put into a home for the last couple years. He would have flashbacks and think it was the 1950s again. I pray that God makes the transition for your mother easier.

I have been going through this with my grandmother for the last several years unfortunately. She'll be 94 this year and is otherwise in perfect health. Cancer took my grandfather years ago and Alzheimers took away my grandmother. I have trouble thinking of two worse diseases.

She lived in a nursing home for a couple of years before she passed and I visited her once after she moved in. I never went back. I felt a bit guilty about that afterwards, but to me, that was not my grandmother lying in that bed.
