Gene Hurst lost his brother, Lou, Tuesday. If you have ever spoken with Lou, you would know him as a fine gentleman. The two brothers lived together. Spanky is crushed at this time, and is struggling with his own health conditions. Good chance that he won't be online for a while, so if you can contact him as a friend, or with condolences, it might be an excellent time to do so..... RIP Lou

Very sad to hear this news. I knew Spanky and his brother were very close and this will be a devastating loss for him. My deepest sympathies go out to Lou’s family and friends.
Thanks for posting Steve 😢

A brother is someone who shares your childhood memories and lifelong dreams. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Spanky, we are all thinking about you. Your love was obvious by the many references that you made about Lou.

Not many bonds are tighter than those of siblings.
Gene, Jackie and I send our deepest sympathies during this difficult time.
R.I.P. Mr. Lou.

Lou was a wonderful man and a friend to everyone he met. He told great stories and my goodness he was funny! We shared Thanksgiving dinner together in Amarillo. Lou was warm and kind and he loved his brother.
I've spoken with Spanky a couple times in the last few days. I read him the thread and reminded him how much he is loved.

Gene did a few days in hospital, then he was going to be moving
to an assisted living apartment. Ponygirl & I have called... no word.
The last time I spoke with him he was supposed to be released that day. He said it might take him a few days to get settled in. He hoped to be back at the computer as soon as he could. He wanted me to tell everybody thank you for the love and friendship.

Still Working on connecting with him ….. I have reached out to Lou’s daughter Monica and she is going to try and get me information… I sent her the link to this thread and she commented to me ”I loved reading all the sweet messages. Please let everyone know Lou’s daughter truly appreciates all the kind words” Hopefully we will have an update soon…

Hello all…. Speaking to Spanky as I type this….. He is in a rehab facility situation….he says “ Think One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest” He is doing okay….after some rehabilitation to gain some strength he will be moved to an apartment type space…. He is glad to know he is missed…. His number at the moment is 806-418-4854… He would be more than happy to hear from anyone who would like to call….. He will hopefully be back online soon…..

Spank called me this morning. Doesn't sound particularly good, and probably needs care/rehab before placed in some type of assisted living. A big life-changer his way. hopefully for the better eventually. He is grateful for the friends and kind thoughts from uic. He doesn't have a phone yet, and not sure he will have internet access any time soon. His own health being the primary concern. Please keep him in your thoughts......

I spoke with Spanky last night...
it's going to take some time before he can get back online. I know he would appreciate phone calls until he gets his computer set-up. If you have a moment to make a quick call to say hello - he'd love to hear from you!

I'll echo the above. I just talked with him for a few minutes and he was very appreciative. He made $400 on Cam Smith so the cooler effect was definitely thwarted this week. Our talk was cut a little short as they were just bringing him his dinner of a hamburg and fries!

Just got off the phone with him, he was happy to hear from me. Sounded a little tired and we agreed that a call earlier in the day might be a better idea. Told me it's 106 in Amarillo today. Ring him up just to say hi.

When he called me last, he mentioned that he was using his nurse’s phone. He might not have one of his own. Hopefully things are improving And he gets settled in at a nice place……..
