I had no idea at all , and it breaks my heart to find it out now.
I go through spans of inactivity on here from time to time and evidently he passed while I was MiA.

We had a blast test driving and comparing lots of various battery powered chainsaws and weed-eaters a while back on here. Doubt I would have gotten involved with them if he had not shared his info about them with us.
Then I got hooked on them too.

Hopefully TJ gets a notification about posts to this thread.
We used to always congratulate Don on having such an outstanding Wife.
Now I want to congratulate TJ on having had such an outstanding Husband.
Very genuine and down to earth guy , and about the size of a mountain.
I remember nicknaming him the Amos Moses of eBay after a couple of his deals got sideways or bent.
He straightened them out.

His participation on here will be missed.
Sad that he had to move onward and upward.
Wishing continual strength and peace for you TJ

Don was so cool. It’s funny I knew him from other website (not even a Pontiac site) under a different name for a while before I knew who he was on here .
I wonder how TJ is doing sometimes because I feel like I know her just from his posts or PMs. He was a really good guy w a love for Pontiacs like I’ve rarely ever seen and especially stock and super stock Pontiacs which we had in common. His dedication ran far deeper than even mine though. I was really hoping he’d get better and we could talk again

I rarely post about race Pontiacs and not think about him and what he’d have thought about the topic! That’s how cool he and his posts were.
