wow, very sad news to me....
one of my favorite memories of Panther was at the bash about 4 years ago, we had all hung out all weekend in the casino and sportsbook.....been eating at the buffet each morning, nice restaurants at night, the night before we had the RX bash, with prime rib on the buffett, open bar, etc....just living it up, with excess of everything...come sunday afternoon we're sitting in the sportsbook, and i said " i know this sounds crazy, but i'm craving something greasy and cheap, think i'm going down to mcd's for a sammich.....panther and a couple others at the table, said, damn, that sounds pretty good...and we head down Fremont to the mickey d's in the one casino....damn burgers tasted good that day....after all that fancy eating, we just needed something our stomachs were used to....LOL
Panther was a fun guy, and he loved to drink and gamble in the casino....so what's not to like?
RIP old friend, you will be missed..
