To the memory of Bluegill Boogieman

[Jen Nayfly]

A year ago we lost a treasured member on this sight. His name was Joseph Parker known here as Bluegill Boogieman. Everyone please say a prayer for the friends and family he left behind. I for one have missed him greatly and all that he contributed to this sight.

Oh my goodness, I'd forgotten about the "pink pole". Thanks for the smile tonight.

Boogieman is truly missed on this site!!!!! My favorite was the day he discovered the leaderboard!!!! http://bigbluegill.com/forum/topics/if-you-are-on-the-leaderboard?i...

He was on the computer before I went to bed, and was on it the next morning!!!!! It was a hoot!!!! He watched what you said and if it was wrong he would correct you quick!!! Kept me in line sort of!!!!!

Boogie, Wherever you are I hope that the Sun lights your path!!! Wind is softly at you back, with Bama quill and crickets going under!!!! And you are catching BLUEGILL on YOUR PINK POLE!!!!!!! It is still PINK!!!!!!!!

It is because of those statements "he would be where he could read our posts, and that he will be back, maybe after some of us are gone" that I sometimes think this is all a joke of his. Maybe he is still alive and will be back. He never seemed depressed to me.

  Boogieman was always stiring thing up on this site ,keeping it interesting. He took teasing as good as he could dish it out, He finally became a Quill Master after I sent him some Boogieman Specials porcupine quills with his favorite team BAMA painted on them. He also started the NO CONTEST ,CONTEST, which I'm already working on for this Christmas. He was a friend to all,and "would not be ignored" . My last conversation with him , He told me me was going on  trip and ask me to replace him  in the HoneyHole, I told him " I could fill in for him during his absence ,but no one could replace the Boogieman"  ,He said  Thanks, and he would be where he  could read our post from time to time , so if you can read this , "We all miss you"
