RIP Phred, you were truly loved by many.

[Scooter's Mom]

This is such a shock. Phred was always ... I don't know "bigger than life" from his messages.

Many prayers have been said and they will be continued.

I just realized/remembered that it was about this time 8 years ago that Phred's mom, Alice, passed away. (She passed 12/19/02.) I can't find the post but I remember her favorite song being, "His Eye is on the Sparrow."

Edit: Found it.
GranMom is wiffa Angels now...

Can you imagine the reunion?

[boomersooner]

I really didn't know him like many of you did, but I enjoyed reading his posts because he had such a wonderful sense of humor. It touches my heart that he touched the hearts of so many of you. Yes, he is being given a million kisses right now from his beloved Rainbow Bridge pets. Rest in peace....

[shais_mom]

I just had a thought that warms my heart.
Can you just IMAGINE the Rainbow Bridge right now? All PET TALK pets and many many others I'm sure rushed him when he arrived.

Staci, you just made me laugh out loud. Thank you for the visual

[Queen of Poop]

I imagine the reunion at the Bridge today would be quite something to behold. I am so sad that he's left us. No one could write a posting like Phred. Dear sir you've been in my thoughts daily and I'm so sad that you're gone.

[beeniesmom]

Awfully sad right now.

[Pinot's Mom]

I am stunned. Phred, your voice on PT will be so greatly missed; the prayer pups line (I know-not spelled the same, please forgive) was an enormous comfort to so many, myself included, when they were so low. I will hold in my heart the vision of you at the Bridge with all the PT pets who, with their families you held dear in times of passing, as well as the PT members who have gone before us. Godspeed dear man; there is undoubtedly a special place held for you. Peace.

I just saw this on fb, and came right over. Major LES, we've lost a very special dear man, he was truly one of a kind. He did so much for everyone. I will miss his calls every time he sees we've have a minor catastrophe over here.

Staci, what a great thought! oh my gosh, it must have been a mob scene when he arrived - kind of like at the gate of the Findlay Dog Park at picnics! and just think - they are ALL happy & healthy! Peanut butter biscuits for all!

[Cookiebaker]

I'm not very good with words in situations like this....but I wanted to come and pay some last respects to a kind, caring and compassionate man. Phred was one of the very first people that drew me into pettalk. I remember stalking his threads with amusement. He always cared about other people and always looked to show that in practical ways. My heart is aching tonight....life is so short. Rest in peace, Phred!

[Bengalz]

Godspeed Dear Phred.

Your have left a legacy for all of us - your kindness, compassion, generosity, a wonderful sense of humour and an intuitive instinct for all things furry as well as a natural sense of how to help us in our most vulnerable moments. You were a precious friend to so many and will be dearly missed.

There must be an amazing gathering up there at the RB tonight full of tears and the biggest smiles. Enjoy dear man - you have earned your wings

Big, big hugs and snuggles to Cinder, Smokey and Heidi

[Fett]

RIP Phred. He was one of the very first PTers I'd met, and has always been the backbone of the Findlay events I'd gone to. He called me when I was in the hospital 6 years ago having surgery a few times, he spoke kind words to me a little when Kim and I split up, and I will miss him a lot.

[delidog]

I can not express how deeply saddened I am to hear of Phreds' (Jon) passing...He was such a Gentle,Kind Soul...I never met him..I spoke with him on the phone..I of course followed all The Adventures of Cinder,Smoke and Boots Da Kat....and who can forget The Great Rescue?? The story of Phred (Unselfishly) driving to West Virginia to rescue Zippys' beloved Bowser...and Keep him...Happy and Healthy till it was his time to go to The Bridge...
There was not a selfish bone in Phreds' body...His love for Animals and People was Larger Than Life...and That is How I Will Always Remember Phred.(Jon)
Along with His Beloved Cinder,Smoke..and R.B. Pets Bowser and Boots Da Kat

Rest in Peace Dearest Phred..

Oh no.... RIP Phred.
