Another veteran has started the trek down the road to Fiddler's Green.

I can't say I knew fellow mil-blogger, retired Zoomie and veteran and anxious father of a deployed warrior Mike Reed (better known as Bunker) well, but we were emailers and commenters. While Bunker now has the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question, our thoughts rest with his family as they rearrange their lives around the huge hole that has suddenly appeared in it.

Get those hearts checked, guys and gals. Bunker was only 52.

Keep 'em cold for us, Bunker, down at Fiddler's Green.

Now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance: In Memoriam.

The Castle is not the only place in the Milblog/Golf world to note Mike's passing:

Barb at Righty in a Lefty State.
Sara at Trying to Grok
Wallace at Streams.
Major Dad at Cursed with a Classical Education.
David Clary at DLC's 2005 Golf Diary.
Matt at Blackfive.
Bob at CrosSwords (top right sidebar)
Armageddon Project.
Little Bit Tired, Little Bit Worn.
Better Living Through Blogging.
Texas Trifles
Southern Conservative
The Fire Ant Gazette

The tagline to Mike's blog is:

“Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” ~Mark Twain

Based on the links above, I think you met the standard, Mike. I for one am sorry that I didn't say something like that before you went. But isn't it ever thus?

Now I think I'll call my father.
