Default Sad News - RIP Uncle Muncle

It is with great sadness that I must let the members of TOTV know about the passing of longtime poster Muncle. As many of you know, he has been battling lung cancer for well over a year. He lost his battle on Saturday, Nov 7 at 5:30am. His sister, who lives in the Villages, notified a former TOTV member with the news. He will be transported back to his native Kansas City for burial.

His humor, intellect, and heart will be missed. May he rest in Peace.

That's a real shocker!

RIP Muncle (with an "L") stay clear of the stocks.

Sad indeed......although I never met him I feel the loss. His humor and insight were always a special part of TOTV.

How sad. I will miss his humor and his intellectual posts (that I never understood) on TOTV.. I wrote to him last month, to ask him to please come to the luncheon but didn't get a response, now I know why. He did attend one lunch, last year, I believe, and it was a pleasure to meet him.

RIP, Muncle, you were the greatest!! I'll personally miss you. Kath

I am so sorry to hear this. It's almost like losing a family member. That's how close we feel to you members of Talk of The Villages.

Unhappy Rest in Peace.

My heart is heavy. Muncle liked to poke at me and I poked back, calling him Uncle Muncle. I loved his humor. I did meet him at that luncheon and the first thing he said was "I'm only coming in if Chelsea isn't carrying a gun." LOL He sure could be a nut.

My prayers are with his family. Well... there's one more bright star in Heaven.
Rest in peace, dear friend.

This is truly upsetting news. As others have stated already, his wit was a welcome read for TOTV. I loved it when he would chastise posters who called him "Muncie" instead of "Muncle."

RIP Muncle, you will be missed by many.

I am so sad, but relieved Muncle is now in a pain-free place. I know that we will all miss him. Rest In Peace Muncle.

This is truly sad.

I remember when he joined in 2007.
He was always a delight and he shall be missed but he will be a shining star.

Does anyone know to whom and where to write a sympathy note?
