First thing that came out of my mouth when I read the newsletter and spotter the mention of this was.. Oh, wow. It was a shock to see.. I never talked to him much, but I do know who he was...

May your soul find peace in the next life brother.. |sad|

When I saw this thread my first thought was "passed away" must have socond meaning... but I quickly realized it doesn't :(
Shocking and sad news :(
RIP

These are so sad news :(
Life sucks sometimes, you see him posting and giving advices to newbies like everything's ok and next day you hear he's dead.

R.I.P.

When I saw the topic I thought the same thing, that this has to mean something else. Unfortunately not....sad day :(

I didn't get a chance to meet FinnBear in person, but he was one of the sweetest, most helpful webmasters I've chatted with on the boards. I'll miss his face around here. :(

wow i just read this in the newsletter..

So Sad!! and i always loved his little notes about life in Finnland, his non-auto adventures.. etc.

Hopefully he's running thru a flowered field in constant sunshine.

with a flask at his side and a song in his heart.

Sad news. RIP Finnbear...

.

So sorry to hear the bad news... I always enjoyed his posts too - he was always eager to help others out, and always had something worthwhile to contribute to a conversation. He will definitely be missed.

I think it's awesome that people are working to help his wife benefit from his sites - hats off to all involved.

That really is sad news.

He always made me smile when I read his posts, seemed like a genuine sweet man with a fun loving personality.

And I did also wonder if he was on vacation as he was one of my regular submitters.

My thoughts too are with his family.

I just heard about FinnBear. I had not had more than a few words with him but identified with his appreciation for music and the tastes of life. He obviously eminated his good nature as much as showed it in his work as is evident here. My thoughts go out to his family.

|sad| RIP Finnbear |sad|

Oh! |sad|
God likes good people and call them early. RIP Finnbear.

GG & Cleo, nice to see that you have decided to keep his sites. It might certainly help his family.

Neo

|buddy| I will sure miss him...
he had such a zest for life... I enjoyed sharing recipes with him...

Tara hang in there - you are on my prayer list...

if someone has some of his sites / tgps/ or free sites and wants to put them into a money bar and slap it up somewhere - tell me where so I can go snag the source code and also put it up on some of
my pages to get his sites some traffic/joins...

if you do it - to be sure I get the URL here's my eMail:

thanks....

If anyone is interested, here is the link he had in his sig for a list of his free sites.

I'm like Useless Warrior... First thing I thought of when I read the link in the newsletter this morning was his avatar. What a warm and friendly picture it was, and what a nice guy he seemed like.

This is very sad news. GiGi please give his wife, family and friends all my best at this time.

That's is horrible. Sad to hear that.

Wow... that's a real shocker! I remember Finnbear ever since he came here, and like the others, as soon as I heard the name you can immediatly picture his avatar. I guess that really goes to show you just never know, so enjoy every minute while you can! RIP Finnbear... you will be missed!!!

|sad|
I know him like just 2 months or so but it was enough to see how good he was |sad|

Rest in peace Finnbear

Oh my goodness! That is terrible news! After seeing his avatar, I remember who he is now. He helped me with a few threads of mine and he always had kind words to say.

Please give my sympathies to his family. And leave his links up, after an expensive hospital stay and funeral expenses I'm sure they could use the money.

My heart is broken. That's too bad. :(

Holy fuckin' shit.

:(



Man, ya never know when the last day on this earth will be.

|buddy| be with you, Finnbear!

Wow...hard to believe. :(

This really SUX.

Finnbear was always offering to help - he was like my free site building Dad.


I have been coming to this board for almost a year now. Mostly in the beginning I would hover alot and read dialogue between webmasters and often I would wonder about things I did not understand.

Aside from the usual suspects that offer help (GG, Cleo, Fonz, Surf'n, XXXJay, DareUTwo, etc. this list is long people so don't feel slighted if I left you off!) without any strings attached, Finnbear was another of those guys that offered help.

At first I didn't appreciate his input, thinking to myself, "who is this guy", and "who does he think he is" so on and so forth. i grew from that first bit of advice from him - often times I never had the chance to thank him because I didn't want to forget what he had taught me...

I lost a brother several years ago to cancer (15 to be exact) and people lose someone special all the time.

I feel that we, as a board, lost a great "brother."

R.I.P.

|goodnight

Very sad to hear this news, and my condolodences to his family.

Thanks for the list of his free sites Useless Warrior, I'm adding his 4women site to Ms Naughty.

Wow, he was one of the good guys around. Always had useful and nice things to say.

That is so sad! RIP Finnbear

|sad| this is sad to hear.. I don't post much but I do read almost all of them, and as everyone has said.. his were always positive.

Thank you for posting a list of his free sites, I'll add them in to my linklist.
