Just before midnight my big brother Gary Talbert (Uncle John) passed

[81n95]

Sad to hear this morning, WRD. He was a legend here and I’m sure in your family even more. Prayers for all of y’all.

[Shadrach]

Godspeed, UJD. You will be deeply missed.

[RockmartDawg]

I'm so sad to see this. UJD was and is a fixture within the lives of so many people, for several decades, through this community. Like many have said, never a mean word came from him. He left his mark here among us, and it will continue.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family remain in my prayers.

I am so sad to hear this news. Gary and me have been friends since 1954 when we met in the first grade at Westside elementary school in Warner Robins and later were classmates at UGA. We shared a common bond in our love for UGA and he was the biggest fan i have ever known. He will be missed 4sure and i will always treasure our friendship. Skip you and all of the family will be in my thoughts and prayers during the coming days. I am just happy that he is now without pain and suffering in Heaven.

So sorry to hear this news.  UJD was a friend to us all.  God bless your family.

[CDXX]

Wow. It’s hard to believe a man I never met has me tearing up. He set such a fine example of kind and humble communication with anyone that spends time on HOTD. Countless times ii have read his threads and thought that’s the kind of man we should all strive to be. So very sad but I like so many more fully believe he’s in peace and will be looking down smiling on Sanford stadium.
