Joe *Pegleg Smith* Sykes............for those of you that knew him, RIP

[Texas-Tech]

I never knew him but am very sorry for his loss, you have lost a friend and an honorable man. PTSD is very real and impossible for some to deal with and I am fortunate not to have suffered from it myself.

I remember him freakin out a few times on certain sites.

RIP

Every site.

I thought he was great! He flipped out on me on many occasions, and made a few grown men cry! LOL

But, behind the curtain he was kind. I know when I was going into the hospital or something was going wrong he was always there saying "good luck H2, hang in there".

He also showed me how to make the great "Peg Leg Peppers" they are awesome! I posted about the peppers a little while ago asking a question and he didn't respond...thought that was a little odd.

I am deeply saddened by this news, I didn't know Joe as well as most. I met Joe a few times around the nieghborhood, he was an excellent refrigeration mechanic and knew his way around!





RIP Joe

I remember Pegleg, he was one of the first people to ever talk to me on the internet. He said my needle was a wee bit bent. Guess we both were. My condolences for our loss.

Yeah... we all miss him.

It had been so long ago I thought I'd seen a picture of Joe. Here it is and his buddy was Druid. I made that post on another forum.

Good times and memories live for ever!

I must have been after his time. But it's always sad when one of our brothers pass, especially one who left such a positive legacy.

R.I.P. our HVAC brother.
