TrentonMakes Posted January 3, 2022 Share #57 Posted January 3, 2022 Shocking news, and very sad to hear it. I didn't really "know" him well either but I know many of you did, and I agree that the forum will not be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very glad I got Cheese's take on it before he passed. Especially since my Dad was a big fan too. But my dad liked the more conventional and understandable gags whereas Cheese was a big fan of the more surreal Green Acres-like stuff like The Garbage Ape, helmets, and floating away with bubbles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wolfpack Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Share #62 Posted January 3, 2022 I can't fucking believe this. son of a bitch Cycling across country with Airwick and Agape. Never remarried, we sorta "dated" for a bit and he was a tremendous help to me when my Dad had dementia/Alzheimer's and he was living in an assisted living in Greenville. Hank & my Dad were like 2 peas in a pod. He never mentioned to me that he had remarried, but if he did, I'm so sorry for his wife's loss. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.

Popular Post Zephyr Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Share #67 Posted January 3, 2022 I am in shock. I knew he was sick but not this sick. He was unique in a world of sameness. Those of you who knew him best were the lucky ones. I am not are how old he was, but I am 56 and he referred to me as an 'older brother' not too long ago. I will say it again, Cheese is one of the most interesting people I have never met. 2 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
