We meet a lot of great people through this fishkeeping hobby. Some just aquaintences, some that become life long friends & everything in between.
This afternoon we, as a community, have lost one of these great men... Terry Thornsberry, better known as Thorny, has left us.
Thorny, you were a warrior in and out. Gruff & tough as all hell, making your way through life, kicking it's ass.
Those of us who really knew you, knew you had a huge heart made of gold.
It's said that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when they say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon. So, Although you had been sick for a couple years now, your death has came as a big shock & left many of us, myself included, in tears.
I am truly honored to have met you, gotten to know you & been able to call you my friend.
