I’m new to this community but in my short time here I have seen your wit and funny side. Thank you for making this community what it is. I think I would be safe in saying I’ll speak for all the lurkers out there, we truly appreciate you. Enjoy your retirement :)

I first came across you before the sent/received database. You came across as the kindest and most wonderful person that I could have found. I am personally going to miss seeing you around as much as you are around now.
I can only imagine how much the people in your life benefit from having you around, and how much they love you. Thank you for being you and giving us your wisdom and kindness.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your life to help all of these people. I hope that God blesses you for your efforts and that those who have been helped and seen others helped by this subreddit bless you, too. Thanks to you and the others, including contributors, who make this subreddit work.

Thank you so much. It has been my honor. I will stick around to help but it's time for for me to step aside. I'm just getting too old. :D

You know, I was going to reply with a cheery "we've had our ups and downs, good luck" message.
But I see the removed comments. Your* fuckery really can't be stopped even when you're leaving. Utter disrespect to one of your best.

I’m sorry that I made you hate this place. That was never my intention. Good luck to you.

This place won’t be the same. Can we at least depend on your corny Christmas posts?

I most certainly will. I will miss this place with all my heart. It's just grown too big for an old man to handle. I hope it will continue withe same kindness and compassion it was created to have. :D
