Today is his birthday but, no, that's not the reason to post a header dedicated to him. I think it's time to give you some information about him: Some months ago he told Gazza and I that he was very sick by cancer, we have been trying to contact him when we noticed his absence from the board and got no answer.

To be honest I think he already passed away, if not surely he still very sick as you know... cancer sucks

Happy birthday Mr. Motels wherever you are, please now rise your hands and let us know if you're alive, I cannot ask if you're dead or alive but if you're alive please let us know

Steve (Motels) told us last July that he'd been diagnosed with lung cancer and that it was untreatable. He did however say that it was a long-term thing and that he'd been told that it wasnt advanced - yet.

In case anyone's wondering why it hadnt been mentioned until now, its simply because he asked us not to and we felt it best to respect his privacy. He said he'd 'gradually disappear' from the board and didnt want to 'announce' it.

However, he hasnt logged in since October and even though I've mailed him a couple of times since then to see if he's ok, I never got a response.

It doesn't sound too positive, to be honest, but we can only hope that he's ok - and if he's not, that it was as peaceful for him as can be hoped.

Best wishes to him on his birthday. God bless ya, mate.

Sad to hear.
I know he had mentioned health issues in the past, and howe could you not notice his absence.
I thought of him this week, and wondered if he was okay.
Wishing you the best, TTM, wherever you are.....

a genuinely friendly poster and a true gentleman - never rude or aggressive (even when provoked)...for sure some of his posts and/or ideas were  bit "out there" and, i suspect, beer influenced - but that's what made him so much fun

as has been said - the board is not the same without him and he will not be forgotten

How sad to read this, I hope you're at peace and entirely painfree, wherever you are. Personally, I really enjoyed most of your posts, often I learned new stuff or found out something interesting long before I read it in the newspapers. Always regarded you a bit as the RO "Librarian", so thanks again for all those posts!!!!

It's a bummer when you reach the age where you get more invites to funerals than weddings, I've been to five this year so far (and it's not even Easter!) One was actually a "double-bill", how depressing......

Zack: don't go on a guilt-trip, I really think he enjoyed your flak.

No guilt trip here.  It was all a big game.  The internet's not real, but lung cancer sure is.

Here, here. I think we've all posted things we've regretted over the years here on Rocks Off and elsewhere. I'm sure TTM gave Starbuck hell, as well! I remember JB being a complete arse - he seemed that way to me, anyway - when he first started posting around '02, but it all worked out in the end.

as zack said, the internet isn't real...but the problems we face in life certainly are. no one can deny motsie went overboard on many an occasion, but obviously the guy had a lot on his mind that no one knew about.

i was able to search legacy.com's listings for maine obituaries for the past year. no passages for anyone with TTM's name. that, at least, is a positive sign. i did find one for someone with his name in north adams, MA...but that person was 59 and had kids and grandkids...and was also a noted cat lover. doesn't sound like him.

god bless our zappa loving stones fan. he smoked, i do wish we did have his commentary on that. i'm glad i stopped, maybe i get a few extra days to play with my kids, post a little and enjoy some god awful rock n roll...

if we really need to get info, and the mods want to, i have family in law enforcemnt, who can probably find out for sure, get a hold of family, if he's still around... maybe we can do something for him before the end... let him know we are thinknig about him. Just a thought.

I remember that TTM loves the movie The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and he quoted the line "This is the west, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend" several times. I've seen the movie a couple times since he mentioned it here and love it too.  

He was a Couchie also and was given the business over there as well.  He seemed to enjoy the back and forth and surely knew he was going to get it with some of his posts.  He is obviously well liked by everyone.

Print the Legend Brother!!

I disagree with Zack and Starbuck when they say the Internet is not real! It IS real, people read it, get into it, and things we write and post do have an effect on other peoples lives, even if we never meet them in real life. It becomes a part of your life, and thats real. And to take it a step further, many great friendships have been made through the Internet, hook-ups, even marriages. Its definitely real, it isnt our imagination! So realize when you post something harsh to another poster, they sometimes take it very seriously, and it bothers them in real life. Or vise-versa, if you post something sweet, it can make someone happy in real life. It's not pretending. It's real. IMO.

Nice sentiments, but I cannot help but feel that it was TTM's wish that we don't find out. Gazza stated as much in his earlier post and whilst I would like to know what has happened, I think it is best left alone. Who knows, perhaps soon a family relation or friend will come forward and tell all. I am sure he didn't keep this board a secret from those close to him.

Any time he pm'd me (which he sometimes would as he'd be concerned about whether he was posting too much 'fluff' - I told him I didnt mind), I always got the impression he just took all the banter in good spirits.

So, I wouldnt get too hung up about it. I never interpreted any of that stuff that went back and forth as being malicious and I honestly don't believe he did either.

if we really need to get info, and the mods want to, i have family in law enforcemnt, who can probably find out for sure, get a hold of family, if he's still around... maybe we can do something for him before the end... let him know we are thinknig about him. Just a thought.



Nice sentiments, but I cannot help but feel that it was TTM's wish that we don't find out. Gazza stated as much in his earlier post and whilst I would like to know what has happened, I think it is best left alone. Who knows, perhaps soon a family relation or friend will come forward and tell all. I am sure he didn't keep this board a secret from those close to him.



Well, he didnt want a fuss made of his ILLNESS which is why he chose to leave quietly. Thats maybe not necessarily the same as not wanting people to figure out what became of him if he has indeed passed away.

I disagree with Zack and Starbuck when they say the Internet is not real! It IS real, people read it, get into it, and things we write and post do have an effect on other peoples lives, even if we never meet them in real life. It becomes a part of your life, and thats real. And to take it a step further, many great friendships have been made through the Internet, hook-ups, even marriages. Its definitely real, it isnt our imagination! So realize when you post something harsh to another poster, they sometimes take it very seriously, and it bothers them in real life. Or vise-versa, if you post something sweet, it can make someone happy in real life. It's not pretending. It's real. IMO.


True!

I'll second that, bitch. Furthermore, your posts "last" forever, scary thought....

So, People, watch what you say in cyberspace, it's just like Herpes, it will never go away.....

I can already imagine someone in 10000 years who is a professional "cyberspace-anthropologist" unearthing the Obama thread, shudder!....

Absolutely, and about this there are many psychology and sociology studies and researches, this is so real that there are people commiting suicide because of the Internet life

Just got back from a weekend out of town and found this. So sad.

I remember, seemed like just a few months ago, TTM telling me that someone wanted him to move down here around me in southern Louisiana and work.
Seems like very few people knew what TTM is going through.

Best wishes, TTM.

Today is his birthday but, no, that's not the reason to post a header dedicated to him. I think it's time to give you some information about him: Some months ago he told Gazza and I that he was very sick by cancer, we have been trying to contact him when we noticed his absence from the board and got no answer.

To be honest I think he already passed away, if not surely he still very sick as you know... cancer sucks

Happy birthday Mr. Motels wherever you are, please now rise your hands and let us know if you're alive, I cannot ask if you're dead or alive but if you're alive please let us know


             Yeah, Happy Birthday Mr.Motels wherever you are....but I so hope you are alive

One of the funniest TTM threads http://rocksoff.org/messageboard/YaBB.pl?num=1209657321


And Sirmoonie's response was priceless:

"Hope it works, Motorola.  Its been years now, and you're still posting like a half-price Bundt cake from BagelWorld."

I miss them both.
