I hope they RIP.

I forgot about Icemaster.

He was a very cool guy. I cannot believe that 12 years have passed. RIP brother!

12 years ago we lost a dear friend. Still in remembrance. R.I.P. Bruce

Although Bruce didn't make it to 65 those who do and start Medicare will find the body scan for aneurysms is the first thing your PC will prescribe. The scan is quick and easy, get yours ASAP. I'm 100% clear, I hope everyone else is too.

This is very sad and sorry to read about Bruce. I feel a need to say something about this because a ruptured aortic aneurysm almost killed me in November of 2015. Aortic Aneurysms are a silent killer. There are no symptoms. You can be slim and fit or fat and unhealthy, a rupture of an aneurysm can happen to anyone.

Again, there are no symptoms. How do you know you have an aneurysm? Go get screened! Tell your doctor that you want to be screened via sonogram or CT. This silent killer sees no age or race. I was a 41 yo black woman. Only 2% of those that experience a ruptured aortic aneurysm survive.

My aneurysm was over 9 cm when it burst. I didn’t know I had an aneurysm growing inside of me. One day, I felt a little back pain. I thought I had pulled a muscle so I really didn’t think much about it. I drove to CVS to pick up a heating pad but felt dizzy walking through the store. Got home and laid down. Long story short… I had a strong need for water. I couldn’t get enough. My daughter ran my bath water… I fainted… woke up and went out again. Ambulance rushed me to the hospital. I was then airlifted to another hospital for surgery. 30 days later I returned home and have been recovering ever since.

Again, there are no symptoms. Get checked. If you have an growing aneurysm, your vascular doctor can repair it. The last thing you want is for it to rupture. Save your family & friends any heartbreak from a sudden death and schedule your appointment.

I was looking up a number in my cell phone and ran across Bruce's. Made me sad.

I had 1 opportunity to talk to Bruce on the phone and it was a treat for sure. RIP my friend.

Thanks for posting that Dave.
Such a young man and how tragic a loss I'm sure it was.
He's in a better place than we are for sure.

Wow his last post was in 2010 I remember seeing his avatar.
Says here he's 59 was that at the time of death or current ?

One hell of a guy and boy did we all have fun together! RIP Bruce!

Still in remembrance of Bruce aka ARPA. RIP my friend.

He spoke about you to me. Yes, it's been a long time but seems like yesterday.
