I'll be there, I'll be there, I will be there.....

Boxx was a wine aficionado I believe … not sure what his favorite bottle was. If Tigerman stops by, he can answer that -- he and Boxx talked about wine often. I just dropped a hint on RTM to show up here.

Thanks for the likes guys. Trying to keep it light, as Boxx would want.

Since I'm drinking a dark beer & reading the toasts to Boxx. Considering his avatar & screen-name I wonder if the XX may have something to do w/ another dark beer?

I suspect we’d get along Carl…just the other day i was visiting relatives. They were all hanging out on the back porch talking. I went out there and every single one of them got up and went inside. I stood there and LOUDLY complimented myself on still being able to clear a room. I had a dachshund who could do that. There's nothing worse than a Cat w/ gas. The food smells bad going in!

I'll drink to that!

I'm not sure how this thread works. But that said, I've got my favorite 'local' beer in it's official glass ready to toast in tribute to Boxx. “Salute” “Cent’ Anni”

Very nice. Donation sent via PayPal.

Dear Alex & Family, I'd like to extend my deepest condolences to you & the family on the sudden passing of Boxx. As a relative newcomer to the forum & my all too briefly developed online rapport w/ Boxx. I could only surmise that he was a man of the highest caliber, who epitomized the definition of a class act. Thanks to your fond anecdotes & recollections of your Dad. It verified that judgement of his character. His passion for art, music & insight into nameless other subjects was an inspiration. And is something to which we all could aspire to emulate. He will be sorely missed, but his memory will live on in all the hearts of those he touched. I feel privileged to have known him via his online persona & can only share a portion of the sense of loss. Compared to that which those who knew him intimately must be feeling. My sincerest sympathies & prayers are with you all. BobPezz
