Incredible Tribute from nikki for Animal I hope nobody takes this the wrong way. Watching the finale of SYTYCD tonight, they revisited all of the "best of" dances for this summer season. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for my favorite of this season .... and finally toward the end of the show they did. This was my favorite of the season from the beginning of the show, but tonight, with the passing of Animal, it had an even stronger impact on me. Everyone can interpret it the way they will, but for me, personally, I want to make this my tribute to him, someone who, while gone way too soon, seemed to live life to the fullest and true to his spirit and soul.

Wifey and I will be traveling to Arizona for Animal's Memorial, it's hard for me to believe he was only 55, I figured he was older.

Wow!
What an incredible tribute!
I want stories when you all return!
I am sure you will all bring a smile the Animal's face!
Turk, if it feels right - give Karen a hug for me and let her know it is from Dolphie.

I have been off visiting friends and family for the last week and a half without being around any computers. I am in shock and greatly saddened about the news of Animal! He was a great influence to this blog. I consider myself fortunate to have met him in person once as well as having known him on this blog. As others stated, he lived life straight up and spoke his mind directly. He left no doubt as to where he stood and what he believed. I have known many people like him and no better friends can be found, they will always have your back! The next time I hear thunder I will think of Animal taking a ride! Rest in Peace Animal

If you look like your avatar I'll find you. But for sure I would like to meet you. My wife will not be making the trip, I'll drive or fly not sure yet.

My avatar is pretty close, though I have more hair and a goatee. I'll try and message you a photo of Wifey and me.

Y'all should give each other your cell phone numbers (in private of course) so you can connect, etc. And I mean it - I want stories. I would also like you guys to give Karen a big hug for me - I am sure she could use some gentle strength.

After checking air fares $320.00 was the cheapest non-stop flight and considering driving to the airport, arriving 1.5 hours before take-off, flying time, obtaining a rental car there’s about 30 minute difference from flying and driving. I’ll be driving Saturday, leaving here about 10:00 a.m. returning Sunday.
cemilne, I’ll call you Saturday.
Rocket, PM me with contact info and let’s meet Saturday.
