He had a good way about him, always positive vibes and fostered a good great forum that still goes on. The Greeks have a saying for those who passed...eternal be their memory...keep thinking about them as a way to pay respects. I know it's not the 11th of November in the parts of the world most of you guys live but it is here in Australia. The 11th was our glorious leader, Bruce "Shen" Tackett's birthday. I'm feeling very emotional about it which is unlike me especially over somebody that I never actually met. I can't really explain it, m8s. November 11 is also Armistice Day, the day the shooting stopped World War 1, (the war to end all wars). The shooting stopped on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918.

Tears aren't only for females and sissies. So have a sob or two, M8.

After years I returned to ask if Bruce still produces the cables, I wanted to order more because two of the smaller ones ripped after literally thousands of reps and I need more of the stronger (black colored) ones.
This thread immediately caught my attention and it deeply saddens me to find out that Bruce is grave ill and on his way out.
I love his training equipment and as I said I used it for years and still do. Always will remember Bruce for his great training equipment and simply for being a top person.

I am now sitting in a hospice facility with Stage 4 lung cancer in Cunningham, KS. Years ago I had bequeathed upon Bruv all of my Admin abilities to ban me. What awesome abilities to lay on the forum nazi! I am very weak, so I probably won't be reading any of your best wishes. Let it be known that you are each in my heart. Three days before his death Bruce gathered all of his remaining strength to log on and let the online community know that he reached his final chapter. Shows how much this community meant to him! Big heart. I'm late but I know you're at a better place now :')

That's very kind of you Steph. Don't want to be too forward, but my understanding is you owe Bruce money?

I am curious by nature, it would be great to see a photo of yourself with your fitness gadgets!
