    RIP Uncle Bunky

    I have no idea who this cat is, but I think I woulda liked him. Surely someone here knows him. Also, what an obit!

    Nice tribute. Sounds like a cool guy.

    Reminds me of this obituary: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/se...&pid=183074559 particularly the bit abut his last joke,

    Well, still had a decent head of hair. Should have used a little face lotion every now and then, though.

    Hell of an Obit. Can’t wait to see the tombstone.

    I still call it The Jake.

    Surely the telluride tgr clan knows this guy.
    Legendary.

    I tip my hat to a life fully lived.

    65 seems a bit young, but I think he lived a lot more than most.
    Cheers bunky. I hope to make some turns in your honor.

    You misunderstand the Karen thing.

    This dude lit things up!

    This is ski stoke. In telluride, this guy was a legend I’m sure.

    RIP uncle bunky.
    Wishing you overhead pow in Valhalla.

    Uncle Bunky is Uncle Brent to me. Cut from the same mold.

    Just shed some tears of joy reading that. Thinking about the stupid shit my Uncle Brent would teach me. Fuck was he a train wreck, I was drawn to him like a moth to a lamp. Always had time to insult me in a vulgar way up to the end. Learned alot about not giving a shit about instructions, just go figure it out and fix it. Master mechanic at short term fixes on top of short term fixes. Still remember him and his buddy passing through weekend of Super Bowl 79. Took all the beer cans from drinking during the game, duct tape, and self tap screws to "fix" the exhaust to get back to WI. My job was to grab them beers all weekend. I got first "sip" to make sure no foam.

    I'm sure both would appreciate we all have a cold beer tonight and a gentle thought of "Fuck you too Uncle B"
