JIMBO SLUSHER....very sad day

[BossJay]

Always remembered. Never forgotten. RIP Jimbo.

[The Colonel]

Jimbo and I started playing at Moffitt about the same time back in '96. I remember going to the Snow Farm with him and his son and ex back then, and then heading up to Austin to play Pease...throwing X-Clones & Cyclones & such. ha! We shared a lot of good times at Moffitt, the Brittmoore Ice & The Snow Farm, along with the other original Moffitt Rats...Mad Dog, Cowboy, Brew, Jay, Teri...back in those days. RIP, brother. I haven't seen much of you over the past few years, but I'm sure gonna miss ya.

He coined a few of my nicknames chubakon, chubacka, chuy! and the ol' Chuy I love ya!, but shut the heck up! I played doubles with Eric a couple of years at Texas States and remember challenging Jimbo one time at league! we had tied and I insisted on a throw off instead of counting birdies vs. bogies...

I remember visiting him in the hospital a few years back and bringing him fajitas! I walked into the hospital hallway and yelled PYMWYIMI as loud as I can as you would often hear Jimbo doing. It was great he loved the food and so did the nurses! I will try to be as good a person as Jimbo showed me how to be!

oh yeah! a few old schoolers remember the JImbo snapapop! throw. He threw it on 6, 10, 18, and out at the snow farm a lot! Anyone else remember that throw and care to describe it? It was weird and I hurt my shoulder trying it!

Yep...the Snow Farm events of PYMWYMI and TxSt Doubles won't be quite the same without him. He was always the last one to check in on Friday night... It's how I knew it was time to go to bed. I hope that we might be able to hold a little rememberance for him up there too. I'll be Waterloo and miss the one Teri mentioned...

Would any of you old rats like to play Saturday morning and just make it a little get together? Colonel,conrad,chum,where the heck is cowboy?

[The Colonel]

I'd love to do that, duff, but I have a bicycle ride in Lufkin Saturday morning. We should have some sort of Jimbo Slusher Memorial tournament, though, and give the procedes to Diane. As many of you know, The Snow Farm has a hole dedicated to Jim Mozola and Dave Tayloe with some of their ashes poured into the pole. When you play that hole, if you're drinking a beer, you pour a little into it. When you make a putt, you thank Jim & Dave. There should be such a hole at Moffitt now. If I would vote for anyone to be King Moffitt Rat, it would be Jimbo. We should decide on a hole, have a one day tournament, and a little service/dedication.

By the way, Randon is gonna have a service at PYMWYMI, and the back of the shirt will have "In Memory of Jimbo Slusher" on it.

[duffyskin]

I'm down for just about any date anytime for a memorial tourney. I hear Bimbos first ace was hole 8 on moffit so I'm thinking it could be such a dedicated hole. Eitherway I'm behind and supporting anything that is decided. Still gone a play saturday morn.

... Colonel how can I get hold of you?

[mattman]

matchu will be there on Sunday Duffyskin, what time? I can get there early and play all day! I am working on a painting to sell/auction off and the $ goes to where ever Diane chooses. I will post a pic of what it looks like now. I will and do have other art that can be bought and I will donate the money to Diane as well. Check out the group page for more of my art work. Louis has one piece spoken for already! right?

I am posting detailed enlarged photos. It is from my cell so the quality is poor. This is mixed media.. acrylic and pastel on a old electrical drawing from work. There is text from the notes hidden in the back ground and the texture is really cool as well.
