It’s not often that I don’t have the words, but this is one of those times. Today I received a message from Mrs Seclark that she asked me to share with all of you. It’s not an easy message to even type.
Sec passed away this morning after a battle with cancer and ALS.
We communicated semi regularly and it was always a pleasure. Scott was one of the best humans, who lived to love his family and friends. Never once did he complain about his challenges, he was always so positive…and usually more concerned with what was going on with me. I can’t do him justice in this message, but in some of our last texts, when I mentioned his illness, he said the following quote that defines the man for me:
“I haven’t tasted food in 3 months. But I Am Blessed! I have family and friends who love me and stay with me. I have elders and a pastor who visit me. My grandchildren are my pride and joy and they come and see me. That’s all I need in life”
He was a great, great guy and I’ll miss him on a personal level. A random poster on a message board became someone I consider one of my best pals in life. I hope I can become as good of a man as I considered him to be.
It is my hope that CP can honor him, and I will find an appropriate cause or fund that his family supports and ask those who considered him a friend, Like I did, to honor him that way.

I just saw this last night for the first time. I am so sorry to hear of your declining health and demise. You were always kind to me seclark and I never forgot it, whether in PM or on the board. You will be missed. I am sorry for all his loved ones he left behind for their loss. RIP seclark. [Reply]
Seen this a few days ago and was avoiding posting about sad.
CP needs to name something for Sec. RIP BFAM, buddy, and friend.
How about Nzones game room and Secs shitter or llama bar?
Secs 2 best stories.
1. The llama pissing on his laptop when he had to climb up a tower at a safari tech support call. He had it connected to whatever device was mounted on tower and climbed up to adjust something and a llama dumped a load of piss all over his laptop. By far, to me, the funniest thing I've read here.
2. Passing out on the shitter at thanksgiving (may be embellishment but funny) at the inlaws house.

Man I'm gonna miss Sec.
It's those kind of personal stories that make this place special.
