I didn't know him from here, but I read his obituary.

It's impressive. RIP BCR.

Very sad news. Christmas time will never again be the same for his family. Prayer sent.

My cousin Joan also passed this morning. She and her husband owned a dairy farm for many years. Their daughter owns a farm supply store and livestock auction.

Damn
Sorry to hear this, he gave me stuff and wanted nothing in return, but had always thought I should find something for him.

Man I hate to hear this.

T, sorry to hear. The man was an unusual class act.

Phil

My prayers for BCR’s family.

RIP Boggy. You made this place better.

Spent a while yesterday chasing squirrels, and remembering old friends and hunting partners. Never met Boggy, but a few guys very like him were a part of that.

My loss that we never met. His presence here was a part of the spell of the place in the beginning years.

Wow. My thoughts and prayers go to BCR's family. Blood and otherwise.

Wow. Just crazy to think. He was a good guy here. Definitely will be missed.

Sad news. Boggy was one of the originals here, and a good man……

Terry, sorry to hear about BCR.

Please visit us on better occasions.
How are YOU doing ?

Sorry to hear of this terrible news. Prayers for his family, from us in N.C.

Yes, it is terrible news 😞

I am OK Mark, just don't have to energy I used to have for posting. Boggy and I were of an age.

Deepest sympathies to his friends and family.

My condolences to his family. RIP.

Very sad news. Rest in peace, sir.

God Bless the Great Warrior.

BCR was a good man, I enjoyed talking with him now and then. Glad it was a car wreck and not that damn cancer that got him.

Prayers for his family.

Bummer

condolences to family and friends

RIP to a fine man who contributed a lot to this forum.

Rip BCR. Prayers sent for the family and T Lee.

As the saying goes - “we are diminished “

My deepest condolences to James’ family. Keep on keeping’ on yourself, Terry.

RIP, never knew him but he had a heck of a run at life.

Boogy Creek Ranger had good and interesting post. I will be praying for his family.

I am glad that you are still around Terry.

RIP, he was going to come down and fish with us 11-12 yrs ago but had just found out about the cancer and didn't make it down.

RIP Boogy Creek Ranger. Prayer for your family and friends Sir

Friend Terry, I hope you and your family are doing well, wishing you a Merry Christmas.

Thanks for letting us know this sad news.

Praying for BCR's family.

Blessings your way Terry.

Thanks for the heads up Terry. Jim was a fine man.

RIP.

Sad news, tragic loss.

RIP Boggy Creed Ranger.

Godspeed, Boggy. Thoughts and prayers for those left behind; I am sure that he will be missed. He was one of the first to treat me well when I joined the 'fire.

Sorry to hear this Terry. I always enjoyed BCR's contributions to the forum.

I would have liked a chance to meet the cow man from Leon County.

The link did not work for me.

Richard, you can type in the address of the funeral home, or google "Walters funeral home Centerville, Texas"

Sad news, RIp BCR!

Thanks Dan.

AMEN! James, aka "Boggy Creek Ranger", aka "Gen Jubilation T. Cornpone", was a good man, a friend, and a bright spot in my life as well as others.

To get a glimpse of his character, see "The Great Texas Coon War" thread; LINK

He will be sorely missed.

Ed

Rest In Peace.
Boggy was a good man.

He was the best of the best, the cream of the crop. Why'd he have to go instead of some real culls? Life's not fair.

Sad news, crappy time of year.
Not that there is a good time.

Damn. Boggy was one of the great ones on here, and I’m proud to say that he was a friend. I talked to him many times over the phone, and always enjoyed our conversations.
His post always seemed to have a wisdom and a way of looking at things that I treasured.
He’s up there with Sonny and Ken Howle, and I’m sure he’s getting aquatinted with The Old Man and “Uncle Bud” and some other great people who I miss.
Hell, they maybe hunting rabbits together now.
I know there’s a quote by Washington, who recognized as it he got older, that “God was loosening the ties that bind us in this world, and tying them into the next.”
RIP , my friend. You have touched many of us.
Thanks, Terry, for filling us in.

Bad deal. I really liked the BCR!

Rip good sir

T LEE: May he rest in peace.
One never knows when their time is coming up.
Prayers for the family.

I regarded James as one of my best friends here at the ‘Fire, met him and his lovely wife here in San Antonio on a couple of occasions.

James was the genuine article, embodied much of what was great about Texas. A sad loss indeed. RIP James, and prayers for your family.

Spoke to his Misses a few minutes ago. She remembered me from our conversations, James was a little hard of hearing, and she often help us in talking about history and our families.
They’re doing okay, but it’s a tough time.
I told her how much her husbands friendship had meant to me, as well as many of us here.
I know we’re all richer having known him.
If you’re a praying person, please remember them

I always enjoyed his posts. He was a kind and gentle soul.

It might have been Boggy that gave me some good advice when I first posted on the place. "This place is like eating chicken wings, you have to know when to spit out the bones."

Nuts. BCR made this place, and I suggest the world as a whole, better.

My loss for never taking the time to meet him.

All the strength and healing to his family.

Sad news T LEE. Thanks for letting us know.

Terry

He was one of the last of the true gentlemen here on 24HR.

RIP,
He'll of a way to go

RIP

RIP, my dad was born and raised just North West of Leona in Jewett.

Bummer

Spent much time talking to BCR and will miss him greatly!

Doggone Boggy I wish I had tried harder to get down there to see ya..... Boggy was one of the originals here when the site started, along with a few of us old timers now. Always had wise words to say and nary a cross word for anyone... I told him when my daughter and her husband moved to Austin I would get down there to see him while I was visiting but time was just too short and I coudn't make it.. now I wish I had made the time somehow and my kids moved from Austin shortly after...
We had great conversations at times in emails, PMs, and occasionally on the phone.. and he always had some great stories to tell or wisdom to impart... him and Sonny used to be an interesting pair .... wish he had stuck around the fire a little longer so we could talk again.... good night old friend...

Sad news for sure, Terry. BCR was a good man. Prayers for the family.

Terry, hope you're doing ok.

I am sorry to hear this - you and his family have my condolences. BCR must have been at the Campfire from back near the beginning, and was very kind and helpful to me in my early times here.. RIP Boggy.

This is a real drag. Am sorry to hear about this loss to many of you! BCR certainly fit the mold for a salt of the earth Texan!

The world would be a better place with more like him. RIP.

Sorry to hear this tragic news.......my condolences, TLee

Sad news. He was one of the people here that I wanted to meet in person. Sadly I did not get to do so. RIP Boggy. miles

RIP

Good morning Maj. Malfunction,

Thanks for the link, thought I would take a look to at it get an idea of the man, Funny Stuff! Ended up reading all 9 pages covering the Coon Wars.

The battle is outlined by the Coons in their War History book titled: History of the Coon Wars, written by Gen. Coon Lee, chapter 8, "Battle at the Bird Feeders, The dismal Leadership of Gen. Direction".

My condolences to you as well as to Gen. Confusion and Cpl. Punishment and platoon!

Kind regards,

Always enjoyed reading Boggy's posts. Another good one gone.

R.I.P. Boggy Creek Ranger.

I liked BCR and he was missed here, as are you, Terry. I'm sorry to read of his passing.

That is a real loss to us all. Thanks for posting that. E

So sorry. Prayers for the family. Rest in Peace.

May he rest in peace. He will be sorely missed. I will be praying for his wife and loved ones.

Jim

One of the originals and one of the best. Condolences.

Sad to hear this. Never a good time for a tragedy but seems magnified during the season . RIP BCR.

So sorry to hear this.

Terry, thanks for sharing.

Well Jeff and to all my old and newer friends a sincere wish for a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.

I'm now just starting my fifth year of battling this devil of cancer and so they tell me I'm doing amazingly well, considering.

One thing this stuff does is force you to re-evaluate your dreams and goals, I reckon that is good.

You discover what is really important and what isn't. I've found out things don't matter, people do. Cherish what ever good memories and relationships you have. That's all that really matters in the end so let the rest slide.

They say you are never really gone until no body remembers your name any more. So, friends and neighbors, with a warm and friendly embrace remember me as I do you.

All the best in life to you all.

James

Amen.ya the old boy will be campaigning to mount a coon quorinteen group to keep them under control. that is a great thread and shows the light hearted ness and fun that can be enjoyed on here. R I P , BCR

Norm

and another campfire member leaves us....we are lessened once more...

condolences and blessings to his family during this difficult time.

RIP Boggy....

How very sad, We all go soon enough, but sudden death like this makes it particularly tragic. RIP, Boggy.

I can't say enough how much I hate to read this. I truly enjoyed BCR's posts. I remember his struggles to recover after falling out of a tree stand, and later, a struggle with cancer. I regret I never got to shake his hand. Rest in peace, sir.

Its amazing he lasted as long as he did with the type of cancer he had, my mom had the same, and it's not curable they only buy you time my mom made it 7 yrs after being diagnosed, 10yrs is considered really long. Boggy made it 11 so he beat the odds and cancer didn't take him.

Sad news. Too many of the good guys that got me following along at the fire are passing. Thanks for the notice T Lee. He is missed.

The changing of the guard is in progress.

They say you are never really gone until no body remembers your name any more. So, friends and neighbors, with a warm and friendly embrace remember me as I do you.
