CAMELEYE Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Remember the movie "Mars Attacks"? It was his Indian Love Call that made their heads explode. Adios, Slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Could this be related to onewilyfool's recent post? Seems a bit suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah, Slim is gone. RIP! I'd once heard Grandpa Jones say that Whitman didn't have a jealous bone in his body. This article kind of goes along with that. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/19/slim-whitman-dead_n_3465762.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy 2 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 RIP Slim , you were a nice guy . FWIW , Slim was a local here for about the last 50 years or more. He lived in Middleburg which is about 25 miles south of Jacksonville. I never actually met Slim but, most people around here knew who he was . He lived in a very normal house out in the country. When you drove by , you would have thought it belonged to the local hardware dealer . His reputation in the area was as a very normal, humble, unpretentious man. He cut his own yard , did his own maintenance , was a loyal and loving husband and parent. He wanted to be remembered as "a nice guy" . Pretty simple request, and pretty hard for some people to achieve. Slim , evidently you were a "nice guy" ,and from everything I hear , "a good man ". That says alot. RIP , Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliasphobias Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I met him about 15 years ago. He seemed to be amazed that I recognized him. I spent maybe 10 minutes talking to him and he spoke to me like we were best friends. Very unassuming! There aren't enough people like that in the world and now there is one less. Rest in peace Slim.
