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

[Todd]

Rest in peace to a legend. Never be another UJD. ?

I didn't register here at the new site, mainly cause I feel guilty being a commie freeloader, but I had to log back in to say how sorry I am to hear of Unk's passing.

The last 4 years of my working career, I had to be at work at 5:00am.  That usually put me in the parking lot around 4:50.  Of course, most mornings before I got out of my truck, I'd come to HOTD, and say good morning to Uncle John.

I took pride in being the first one to reply as soon as he made his 4:52 post.  (TRD beat me a few mornings).

Unk was the definition of a Damn Good Dawg, and will be sorely missed.

So sorry WRD, Prayers for you and your loved ones.

Great guy and DGD.

I am terribly sorry to hear this. UJD was one of the HOTD that I have met in person and he was an absolutely wonderful person. The world is a lesser place without him.

Prayers for strength sent for you and your family.

[Top Row Dawg]

Feel like I lost my real Uncle.

[Law]

Prayers for your family

I'm very sorry to hear.  I really hope the Dogs of Georgia can make the legend proud in 2024!

[DawgWood]

Prayers for Peace. UJD WAS the HOTD.

A DGD and a person a never I met but as soon as I saw this news I shed a few tears. I first class man from the years I have interacted with him on here.

[Concourse E]

Well, crap, that sucks. I will miss his online friendship. Praying for all his family.

[FeralDawg]

Godspeed you home, Uncle. May your soul rest on the other side of Jordan and may the angel band be electric.

[Punkin14]

For a man I never met he was always the true north of this board..Praying for him and his family..he will be mist.

[ToothDawg]

As you know he had been in ICU and we were able to be with him a little earlier. Sorry for the news but y’all and the old Chat meant so much to him. Gary and I were as close as brothers could be and I loved him so much. I’ll keep you posted, just upset right now..

Skip, I am so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. I know you will miss him. UJD was a special person. I am so happy he was able to witness the Back To Back National Championships. You and your family are in our prayers.

Dude, please  come in here every now and then to keep this Good Morning going. Its hard and heavy without him and you.

[SS from LaGrange]

So very sad to hear this. He was and is a true gentleman. I will miss him on here.

[musiccitydawg]

Sorry to hear. Uncle John was one of the best people on this board. I am sorry I never got to meet him in person.

He's in a better place now, perfectly healed.

[Bean Counter]

Absolutely heartbreaking. Dude was a legend. I know he lived a good life and had a bank vault full of people who cared for him. I’m truly sorry for your loss. 4:52 FOREVER!!
