I love this idea! Let me talk to Rob and see what emojis we have that we can pick from. I'll get back to you asap.
Nyboy passed away!

Rest in Peace 1980-2020
Same here... I learned yesterday evening that an 18-month old nephew of mine got killed by lightning on Wednesday evening. Then I came here and learned about Alex's passing... I said to my son yesterday evening the Grim Reaper is busy this new year and he replied "God made two mistakes" 
A friend of mine said to me today when someone passes be happy for the good they brought to your life and hang onto that... Let's keep Alex's memory alive by remembering the wonderful stuff he brought to this forum and as a friend. There are so many stories he shared here that I remember, that made me laugh out loud, threads I followed to find out where is it going.... He was a joy to have around.

I have lost 3 male colleagues this year that I worked with for 35 years. All men in the early 60's who never took care of themselves....hhhmmm. So sorry Sumi. Too young. And what a fluke accident.

Sometimes when a prominent member on BYC passes away we change their title to a custom title to reflect that. Alex's title is the default "Garden Master" at the moment. I can change that to a short custom title if you all have something in mind. Have a think about it and let me know?

What a shock. Always enjoyed his posts. Certainly has left a hole. He will be greatly missed.

I just raced here to see if ya'll knew. I had his The Kennel and Pet Spa at Stonybrook post just pop up to the forefront of my FB feed.
I'm shocked. I'm deeply shocked and very very emotionally sad. I loved that man, and like many of you, didn't meet him. There is going to be a very gaping wide cavern in this forum without our Alex.

@catjac1975 , going to rescue almost always means that they will be placed in a good home. These are usually the places that pull them out of pounds and work with them (if they are difficult) to make them more adoptable.

Maybe start a separate thread for suggestions on that and then put the top choices into a poll?
My most frequent memory of Alex was not about gardening or even his pet grooming, but about his frequent forays onto Craig's List. I'd give him the title of King of Craig's List or Mr. Craig's List. His misadventures on CL seemed to garner the most laughs and they still give me a smile, just writing about it here.
