Rest in Peace, Bones

**Heather** · 11-20-2006

It's with a heavy heart that I report that our friend and Playa character "Bones" passed away yesterday unexpectedly of a heart attack. When I heard the sad news, I was happy that the last time I saw Bones, he was extremely happy and playing the harmonica in front of a large group of people at Captain Dave's on 10th. He did what he loved all the time and always had a smile on his face. Playa just got a little less colorful.

Sheesh, Heather... Sarah just told me. I can't believe I hadn't heard it in Paamul. He was one of the good guys. So sad.

It's very sad. Such a sweet guy.

Babaloo · 11-20-2006

this makes me sad

I was working with him Saturday on his place in Paamul.
Susie and I talked at length with him this past weekend about helping us with the new palapa.

I didn't know him long
but he was one of the good guys

That is sad news, I'd met him too awhile back, and he was quite the character.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Bones since before he moved to Mexico. Although my family and I are deeply saddened by his passing, it pleases me to know that he got to live his dream and died in a place he loved surrounded by his friends. Not everyone is as fortunate. He will be missed by many.

**Shammy** · 11-20-2006

I didn't know him personally but my condolences to all those that did. Sounds like he will be greatly missed.

Via con Dios, Amigo. Thanks for the help, thanks for the smiles.

It looks like I will miss him by a week. I believe he was from Minnesota - at one time. "Larry Lawrence." He was a great guy.

It takes a special person to leave a lasting memory. Bones is one of those "good guys" that always was ready to help unconditionally. Bones will be fondly remembered. Murray & Heather

May he rest in peace.

rob mackay · 11-20-2006

Well, that was my good buddy, One of the main reasons I was going back was to see him and have a beer with him, i lived in the palapa right next him last year in dec, we were always having a few beers. I remember he told me that he had heart problem last year, but he smoked like a trooper. I remember he was at one of the bars playing, i think it was a little british bar in playa last winter , he was alot of laughs. now I regret picking him up cigarettes.... It wasnt his first heart attack....
miss you buddy, From rob mackay

Wow what bad news...

The last time I saw Bones was at the fund raiser for DJ at the TB. He rushed off and came back with several holiday makers to help raise money (by paying the cover charge).

Gone but not forgotten.

**Susie Q Roo** · 11-20-2006

His friends/neighbors down here are having a tough time finding a contact for family members. Can anyone help?
