I truly miss BOAZ

I miss Charlie Johns' his humor, his stories, his dedication, and our visits and phone calls!

I agree on all points. I wish some talented member would take over the stories about the Black Mule Ranch, Rangers, and early Texas history and lifestyle. It would take a special kind of person like Boaz was. He grew up there, and probably didn't have to do too much research.

Me too Paul. I thank God for the time Charlie was with us and the blessing of knowing him.

Yep! He was a big help and a great example to a lot of people.

He was a humble gentleman, I thoroughly enjoyed working with him to get the first Tumbleweed saga on track. His willingness to trust a new moderator to open and cleanup the thread so it had continuity as a story was amazing. Giving me that much trust went a long way in cementing my deep regard for Charlie. RIP my friend.

Charlie was one of a kind and was a wealth of knowledge.

I was new to THE CHAPEL and I had been PM'ing Charlie....and 4 or 5 months later a great friend in our little community had to move to Wichita Falls and since Charlie lived there I thought he might be a good friend for John. But I wanted to meet Charlie face to face and broach the subject before I flung him into John's lap. So I told John that I was coming his way for a visit but I swung by to meet and visit with Charlie first.....When I got to actually meet face to face with Charlie I could only see in instant true friend and a humble man. While I was visiting with Charlie and man came into his tire shop with some real problems and his tires were on the last thread and he had to make it to Ft. Worth to the doctor.....Charlie called one of his workers in and they took care of this man without taking any money! Charlie was a glad heart and a true Christian....I will forever cherish the few years we were friends! Needless to say after that meeting and asking Charlie if he would mind watching out for John he agreed and they became stead fast friends until John passed. Now God has Charlie and John and they no doubt are swapping some great stories around the campfire!

i am glad he and becky got through that ruff patch and that he got to see her wedding.

He used to tease me about that silly anvil he had in his front yard and how I could ship it up here to alaska. We always joked about him being a Killer of worms. He would always buy night crawlers with the intent of going fishing, and never get around to actually going. The worms would die in his fridge.

He was a brother for sure.
