RIP
 

This is unfathomable...

Haven't been on here for a while, been taking care of other issues also.

There are no words that can truly express my remorse for this loss, not just for SOCNET but for everyone whom he touched with his wit, wisdom, wrath, and above all else just being SOTB.

My most sincere and profound condolences to all.

RIP Andy

SOCNET shall never be the same...

Honored to have known you.

RIP, Andy.

R.I.P. Warrior

May he rest in peace....my thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends.

Rest in Peace.

I was in an airport when I read the post. I struck me how a man I never met passing affected me. I would scroll through treads when I became bored with the topic and would always stop when SOTB replied. I glad his picture posted it was nice to put a face to his name.

RIP

RIP... I always thought highly of his postings and insight in various discussions - I didn't always agree, but his postings were always interesting and well worth reading.

Always learned something from his post

His logic and reasoning were near flawless.

Fuck...
Like many, life has kept me away. But to come back and see this... I have no words.

I had the good fortune to get to know him, and develop as much of a friendship as one can via phone and email. He took an more of an interest where he had no obligation.

He was a special soul, and even now, one that is, and always will be, very unique.

RIP Andy.
You are missed.

RIP. Hero , This is a shock to me and a great loss to this site.

RIP we will miss your wisdom and wit.

Haven't been here for awhile.

Rest in peace SOTB, I always enjoyed reading your posts.

Damn... Death takes another Warrior...

SOTB, I greatly enjoyed reading your comments.

Blue skies to you and prayers to your family.

Goodbye, Andy. I hope you were wrong about Last Things. I would like to think of you residing in love unimaginable.

Diety. I miss him here on SOCNET. I had a few PM's over the years with him. He was cool as fuck as a Mod. back in the day. One time I asked him to keep something between us regarding child abuse. He said he would. For fucking sure I believed him. Goddamn if he did not challenge you to search within for the absolute truth. I am lesser for not knowing him.:(

Rest In Peace, Marine. When I started here, day one, recognizing SOTB happened. I thank you. God Speed

RIP Marine. You will be missed

Fair winds and following seas, brother.

Rest Easy Brother, The World is just a little more shitty now that your gone.

I was thinking about Andy yesterday, when this caught my eye. We sure do miss you around here brother.

Wish you were here, SOTB. You'd have some insightful comments to put things in the right perspective.

WWSOTBS? = What would SOTB say?

I still miss my friend.

I wish SOTB could have seen this.

I've been absent from the forum for a little over a year and this is a shock to hear. My condolences to his family and all of you that knew him as a friend. Judging by what all of you who knew him have said, he left this world a better place for his having been in it. As a fellow atheist (or at best agnostic) I would think he would've been happy about that. Rest in Peace, Mr. Potts.

IMHO... he has but I'm one of those flying spaghetti monster there's something after believers. ;) Wish he was still here. I would love to read his thoughts on the Election AAR.

HBD Marine, RIP and fuck cancer!

RIP Andy prayers for your wife and daugther!

You will be missed but not forgotten.

Girlfriend's mother is an AML leukemia survivor, so we did MD Anderson's "give cancer the boot" walk today. We walked with her mother, and a group of survivors and their families. All donations went straight to MD Anderson, no BS skimming off the top.

Saw a really really fat cop at the starting line that would have made Andy giggle, then realized where I was, and got a bit choked up. Strange for a dude I'd never met, but hit me nonetheless.

Just made me think of the dude, thought I'd share.

Visit often. Very rarely post. I always enjoyed reading his posts -- even when I disagreed. Some of what he has said has influenced how I go about my day job.

RIP -- Marine.

Condolences to his family and those who could call him friend.

Please forgive my absence and how long it took me to write this.

A good friend and member here told me of this when it happened and it broke my fucking heart. I've lost a lot of friends over the years and it never gets easier, but Andy was always a little different. When I went through a very difficult time a few years ago, SOCNET members came together and quite literally saved my life. I could afford treatment for a cancer diagnosis that I was terrified to speak of and embarrassed about. It was a diagnosis that Andy himself had been through, which resulted in his "symmetry". During the whole ordeal, Andy was a friend and confidant who was my backbone when I needed a kick in the ass.

If I could have picked someone to be my father, to be the grandfather of my daughters, I would have been blessed to have Andy in that role. I'm still blessed to have been able to call him my friend and for the way he opened up to me and showed me such kindness and compassion. I never got to tell him that. I regret that I'll never get the chance. But I say it now so that others might see a side of Andy that most people would not have known. Andy was always a true warrior, but there was so much more to him.

Rest Easy my friend. I hope every day that your family is well and know that those who knew you will keep your memory alive. If I could be half the man you were I would have lived a good life.

RIP SOTB, sorry we never met in person. Always enjoyed your posts.

Happy Birthday, Andy. It sucks that you are not around.

HBD Brother. Semper Fidelis.

Happy Birthday, my Brother! You are sincerely missed!

Happy Birthday, Andy...!

We miss you down here. I hope the birthday cake delicious up there and you got a Halo gaming marathon with other buddies ready for today!

Semper Fi.

Happy birthday SOTB, I hope there's no shortage of peanut butter up there.
