I was sitting at work tonight and it just hit me how much I miss this guy, and what an enormous role he played in shaping the way I look at things, and how much he encouraged me to let go and fall far outside the lines.

"2 an hour on the Hour until we see em"
Damn straight, Thank you for that.

It's worth the risk

Your greatest works were the lives you changed around you, as I think you wanted it to be. You stomped the terra, my friend, and will be missed.

I LOVE YOU YOUR LITTLE SISTER SUSU

Just checkin in here. I know if you had internet there you would add to it. However, I doubt you even look this way any longer as I am sure there are better things to do there. I want you to know, you are on my mind often. More than I can sometimes bare. But then I remember something off the wall and I am able to get on with it by laughing at that something. My outlet has become writing to you in hopes you can read my words if you can't hear. I wish I would have made the time, hindsight 20/20 and all. I know you knew me well enough to "get it" so I don't dwell. But man how I miss the stoopit stuff. Its AMAZING what you miss when you no longer have it readily available. I am glad you were who you were brother. I miss you.

Today I pause to honor your wisdom and creative genius. I will miss you my friend, my accomplice, but your inspiration will be with me forever. I truly was blessed just to know you. You can be sure that whenever I hear your voice saying "Deborah Jane" I will take notice. Garden of the Gods was alive with your magic on Friday, as it will alway be now.
Please say Hi to all my kitties...

Today in the Garden of he God's in your's and Nick's place, your sister and 2 nephews set loose 12 balloons for you before giving you back to the earth. You will forever fly among the mountains you so loved, they made sure of that. In Tn we let go 5 more balloons at the exact same moment. I am sure you too are shocked at the number of people you touched in your life. Many here in his place will miss you my brother. Go on now and get on with it. I'll see you again at the next stop. Be watching for me so I don't get lost.

jimmy, my old fiend

.....finally a free bird!
Peace be with you. Go with God.
I'll see you in the morning.

For that which you love most in him may become clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain."

Controlmechanism aka
James M. Coghill Jr.
Son and Brother.
Passed away in his apartment all alone and with a brother (me) who has been such a scumbag as not to check on him lately. James, I know you are lookin' and I want you to know I am sorry. I loved ou regardless of what I say. He will understand this (inside joke): "Hey Bozo! - I ain't Bozo! I wish I wuz though, that mans a freakin genious!"

ANNOUNCEMENT********
By my name you know who I am, only you don't know that this guy is youve seen into is my brother James. While we have been rather disconnected, it did not ease any pain today when we learned of his death. What bothers me most was that he was all alone. Knowing he waned it that way "so he would say" makes it no easier.
