Friends Murdered last week.

I took the week off after my heart episode week before last.

Got back to work this past Mon.

Did not see one of my friends for a couple days. Asked "What's up with Hippy?"

Everyone got quiet.

Turns out he and his Wife had been murdered (12 GA.) by his Brother-in-Law the previous Sunday.

Perpetrator drove back over to my County, and offed himself.

Another friend went over to check on him after Hippy "no show, no called," at work for two days, and found them.

Still kinda in shock about the whole thing. Super nice guy.

Cremated and taken back to Alabama without a local service of any kind.

You can never tell how long you have left. Live every day,


RIP Hippy.

    So true....very sad.

    A State Trooper was killed in Richmond yesterday, I doubt he thought that would be his last day on earth.

    Maybe you can spread the word and see if a few of you would like to get together and have your own sort of service for him.

    Very sorry to hear of this happening in your life Bravo!

    Sad enough to hear about these sort of life ending events happening to strangers, but when the drama hits home it can really bring more to one's plate than we ever realize.

    Prayers for you and your co-workers from me.

    Thank you all.

    "Hippy," (long hair and a long beard) was a great guy.

    Kind, friendly, caring, always there if you needed him.

    Definitely did not deserve to go out like that.

    (Not that anyone does.)

    He and his Wife will be (and are,) missed.

    Very sad.

    Fought back some memories.

    Losing a friend to a murderer isn't easy.

    Not a lot to say on this other than I understand your feelings.

    If you read the original post, his Brother-in-Law murdered them.

    He did not do drugs.


    Have a nice day.

    Brother in Laws do dope. Every Hippy I ever met did dope. Maybe he wanted the brother in law price? Had to be a reason.

    You presume too much.

    As usual.


    Have a good day, and evening Sir.

    god bless hippy
    Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    Sorry to hear about your friend. I always watch the Tri-City news and I believe I remember hearing the story.
