Re: Rest In Peace
Just at such a loss for words about Bin other than I will miss him.

I would like to propose a moment of silence in his honor during the MnG.

I'm sorry for the loss of Bin and all here who had a chance to meet and know him.
May your memories of him bring a smile at some point during this difficult time.

I just saw the news about Bin. Fuck. Such a nice guy, and I didn't get to know him in person nearly as much as I would have liked.

Re: Rest In Peace
Bin's passing makes me want to tell you all how much you mean to me - everyday. You make my days more fun, more connected to the playa in the default world. Thank you.

I am sad. Bin was a good man, so kind. I felt honored to see him at the Hof.
He was gentle and kind.
I feel honored to have known him.

Re: Rest In Peace
it was so thoughtful of bin noddin to make the trek to the hof and to reno and paint on killbuck's bannerline project...and visit with us in reno...he was tired...but made the effort to make the rounds..for a last good bye and last memory. we were so lucky to have that gracious man touch our lives. xoxoxox
Re: Rest In Peace
When we were saying goodbye at the hof we both knew we wouldn't meet again. We were strangers that had shared some conversation the day before. He wished me such a sweet farewell. "You have a good time at the burn and in everything you do." He was smiling. A very nice man.

Re: Rest In Peace
I didn't know him but the way you all write about him makes me sure that he was a good one. To those of you that did know him - I offer my hugs and comfort, it's hard to lose a member of our community and while his passing makes me sad, I can't help but smile at the way you all have drawn together to remember him.

Re: Rest In Peace
Sry to hear about Ben
Also sad to hear my HS Art teacher passed on ;( He was the 1st person to buy one of my clay sculptures , it was a viking with the horned helmet . He payed 50.00 for it which was a mths rent back in 1971
Here he was showing us how to load the kiln .

Re: Rest In Peace
I reached out to Bin's brother, who broke the news on the bookfaces, about including him on next year's Remembrance Plaque (the last call for this year was July 20). After checking with Bin's son, he gave his approval, saying this in part:
It's bittersweet to know that the one year Bin camped with the Boobs was the one year I couldn't be there, but I remember the flag he made for us the year before that. TITWI, Piney, I hope you'll be bringing that flag out with you this year; I might even try and talk the CO into flying it from MASH's guard tower.I know Jonathan would be honored (though he would never admit it) to be remembered in such a way. Attending The Man was always a dream for him and he so enjoyed being there.

Anything purple is mine. Anything else can be dyed or painted.

So long, Bin. What a shame to lose you. Such a wonderful man whom I only had the pleasure of meeting a few times. All the love on here... damn leaky eyes...

I have a flag too, and pictures of him, and me, with it. All I need now is the cable to connect my camera to my computer...

Re: Rest In Peace
Rest in peace, bin. Alas that I never met you. It was truly my loss, seeing how much you are loved.
Let us all remember that some part of bin will remain alive within us as long as we hold the memory dear. Hugs all around.
