Cappers Mall mourns one of our own and one of the orginal members - RIP

[Dr. Jack]

Hi everyone:

I wanted to let you all know that we have lost one of our own.

Rambler333 (Dan) was one of the original members here at Cappers Mall. He was a very nice guy whom many of us got to know on the board. Most of you know his long battle with Cancer and he never stopped battling but time finally ran out.

Rambler's son is also a member here (mudville) and Eric (mudville) could use a thought and a prayer.

Dan was one of my favorite members of all time. Many of you knew him as the Parlay Man. One thing I new for sure is he was a GOOD MAN in life.

Cappers Mall was a place where he could come and get away. I am glad he was able to do that at times.
