Arthur (Snusgetter) Godfrey Memorial Thread

[JPono]

Haven't been here in ages, but heard about Snusgetter and had to pass by. My condolences. Snusgetter was one of the first to welcome me to the snus family and always made me feel most welcome. He will be missed!

It's good to know how Snusgetter helped and was a friend to so many people. I remember how he told me about his custom snus creations. Like Kahlua and Bailey's. He even sent me some samples. They were a real treat I enjoyed them.

I'll bet you a roll of snus that Snusgetter is buzy prescreening applicants for Saint Peter before the souls are allowed into heaven.

Maybe he's doing it to get St. Peter to force V-2 to make more coffee/vanilla!!

In all seriousness, it does seem he touched the lives of many of us around here. Kudos to the mods for making this section.

If you're a sheepskin boot, or viagra salesman you've had it.

The news is still a shock. Rest in peace brother.

Snusgetter was kind to welcome me to this forum a couple of months back. Best wishes to his family, and may he rest in peace.

Today's snusgetter's memorial service. You get busy with life and routine activities, and sometimes forget for a bit, but I still quietly sigh when I run across one of your posts. Farewell friend, and safe journey.

The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast.
The branches bare like a banjo played
To the winds that listened best.

<sigh> RIP Snusgetter buddy, we already miss you

I know it's been a while since I've posted around here and last time I did I was an ass for really no reason but I'd like to take this opportunity to let it be known I will miss Snusgetter. A genuinely good guy who I never saw post one bad word towards anybody. He brought a ton of life, personality, and class to the forums.

I was shocked when I heard the news. Art was one of the earliest supporters of The Ephemeris and I always looked forward to reading his posts here on Snuson. God bless him and his family.

Rip Snusgetter brother, we will miss you around here. :'^(

Memorial signed.

A man's true legacy....is his children. Snusgetter will live on through them, and in our hearts. RIP brother.

Rest in peace. A highly-respected individual who will be missed.

Everytime I come to Snuson, I tear up. It's hard for me to post because I know my dad won't be able to reply. My inbox still has the last PM he sent to me a few days before his heart attack. The last email I sent to him, about 3 hours before his heart attack, was the list of Snus I wanted. He was planning on mailing it to me the next day. I told him to hold off on sending it (because I was planning to come home for Thanksgiving.) But he insisted that he box it up and mail it. I didn't want to let him in on me coming home so I agreed.

When I finally made it home, the day he died, I went to his house and where the EMT's found him, was the open box that he was in the process of packing. It's kind of hard to think that he had his heart attack while he was getting it ready for me.

It's been a few months and I still can't get over that he's gone. I still get the urge to call him and ask a question. Since he still had a huge loan out on his house, I had to sign the property over to the bank he had the loan with. The bank was helpful and gave me a couple of months to clean up and take all of contents. I'm still in Massachusetts trying to finalize up things here before I can go back to Minnesota. He wasn't a big spender (aside from snus) so he didn't have much debt. It was all cleared up within a few days of me being here. So now I just have to wait for the government to finalize up all of his death benefits before I can head home.

It was a hard holiday season for my family. Not that it was horrible, just that my dad was the key to all of our holiday gatherings. He was the life of the party. So we just sat around reminiscing on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have yet to open any of the Christmas presents my family got me because it just didn't feel right to.

He had a military funeral with the flag folding ceremony and was burried at his parents plot. My uncle Roger, one of my dad's brothers, was so moved by the ceremony that he asked to have the same for him as he also served in the Army. He said he wanted the trumpeter to play "Taps" just because he knows it will make everyone cry. lol, nice thought.

Anyway, gotta get back to real life and get back to my web design. Which is funny, because my dad taught me everything I know about web design. So I like to think that he'll live on in my coding

Nice post mate. I know how it sucks to lose someone that is so close to you. I would speculate that there are several members here that, once in a while, tear up when they come accross your dads posts. Hang in there. His spirit is with us.
