Only seemed appropriate for the US Navy Band version. I know you’re finally at rest, brother. …… Now y’all carry on!

[texastweeter]

Amen.

[texastweeter]

I'd vote for a burger cook. I am one of the few folks here to have eatin he's cooking, and he could kill it on the griddle just out Pittsburg TX back in the day.

Bless his soul. The kindest fellow in the land.

So sad to hear... I missed this when I was away. RIP Mr. Bones , you are missed.

I can't even begin to say how every time I see a post come up where Mr. Bones commented that my heart doesn't hurt. I do wish my heart could heal, but it just doesn't seem to be able to heal. RIP Mr. Bones, you are still missed.

I think of him almost every time I read this forum…and often hear his words in what I think he may reply.

What a awful month February can be first with the passing of Dan Johnston and later Terry Morris aka Mr. Bones.
While Terry passed on the 22nd, today the 21st is his birthday.
Happy birthday Mr. Bones. There are ribs on the cooker and beans simmering on the stove in your honor.
You are missed.

Happy Birthday in memoriam to a long lost cousin! Mr. Bones aka Terrance Morris and I often speculated we were long lost cousins, since I have some family tree evidence that some Morris's left eastern Tennessee and headed west to Missouri and Kansas territory at some point in the late 1800's.

I'll do my best to kick the bucket later in the year (not this year mind you!)

[hoovarmin]

I am raising a glass to him tonight. And to Dan, and to EdF.

[Steve B]

YES EdF as well.

[Elton's BBQ]

Indeed!

I wish we could all be together in one large pit with fire burning, meat cooking, toast raisin, and remembering our lost Pit brothers

[DaveD]

I am glad we are commemorating the day he came into this world, not the awful day he left it and us, even though they are but one day apart. I always advocate for remembering the dearly departed on their birthdays, not their death days (except for the first year anniv, those are always major). Celebrate his life.

[texastweeter]

Well spoken.

[Andrrr]

I love the sentiment. My birthday is May 9th in case you're planning something 😉

Mr Bones my brother from another mother. Or father. We never did figure it out. And Dan - I didn't know him as well as Bonsey, but he always entertained

[hoovarmin]

He did have a special way of connecting with us that made it feel like family.

[RichieB]

How about this. At 900 pm east giving our west coast members time to be settling in from work we all raise our glass to all our Pitmasters who we memorialize. Finally, share pictures of the glass and yes you too. A virtual toast. I know that it doesn't work for all but who can might want to participate. No matter the concensus, I'm posting.

[Andrrr]

Well look at that, I had a glass to him at the time and didn't even know it. I never knew him quite as well as many others here but I really miss his wit and always kind words.

[klflowers]

I missed this post, but at 9 tonight I'll raise one

[klflowers]

I was asleep on the couch at 9. Oh well, Bonsey would understand lol

[RichieB]

Well here it is, not pretty. I added the graphic he generously shared with us. It is on my porch and it is a reminder of Mr. Bones. Rest well sir.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

oh look I'm still awake (thanks terrible heart burn), so also joining you in raising a glass to a legend!

[HawkerXP]

To Mr. B

[Clawbear57]

Missed the thread but here's to Mr. Bones and all other Pit Masters gone to soon.
