Just a wild and crazy thought, but the next person to get in touch with him...ask him if he has his own phone.(I tried to call that # also...nothing)...and if he doesn't why don't "we" correct that.( Tom has his PayPal address from the Super Bowl contest this year) Crazy thought ?

His bookie must be making personal visits to him. (shoes mentioned him winning a wager) But yeah, I could go in on this also if it's something that makes life a little easier on him.

With his brother gone, do we know of any other relatives that we can reach out to?

I have been informed that he has been sent to
I just got an answer and the woman is taking my information to give to him….she will help him to call me if he has a phone in his room…. She was under the impression that maybe one of his sons was supposed to bring him one…..

I just had a long talk with Gene. He does have a phone(new one and adjusting to how it works) He is doing ok, at the Amarillo Center for Skilled Care. Sounded very upbeat and knows what he needs to do to get where he wants to be. He wanted to thank everyone for their concern and I suggested he sign in here(he lost his password...was having difficulty logging on)with another ID if it makes things easier. He is looking to get a laptop so he has easy access to the board. He sounded really good for someone dealing with what is going on. Again, wished everyone here be well, and we will be hearing from him as time permits. PS...he has not lost his sense of humor, compared the facility to a cross between Shutter Island and One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest

Hey pal--hope that u read this soon Actually went to watch your hero Roger Waters last night--definitely not your father's Pink Floyd from the early/mid 70s. A lot of posturing and prancing--he surely loves himself. A very good show--amazing sound and graphics/lights--ere is the beginning and more....

Spanky called me this morning. Despite having Covid, he sounded a little better. Won’t be online for a while, an up in the air as to where he will live.
Tough spot——-he has a phone for now, and can reach out if he chooses

So sorry for your loss Spanky. I know your brother helped keep you upbeat dealing with your own issues. Take care and know there's a community here that loves you and hopes you return soon.
Found this song, just a great rendition/combo that I hope helps your spirit

I tried to call the last number that someone had used to speak to Spanky… No answer….. I then called the last facility I knew he was in and of course the person who answered the phone informed me they could not give me any information…not even if he was there…. I told her I understood but asked if there were a way she could pass on a message if she would please let him know that the members of the forum are concerned about him and if he would to please reach out and let someone know how he is……

I got through to him (via the front desk) he called(in response to my message) and sounded VERY bad. We exchanged but a few words, then I lost him.....phone was still connected but nothing from his side. I waited 12 minutes(phones still connected) and nothing.(no responses) I think he is in real bad shape. I got a very bad feeling about his current condition.

It can’t be easy for him dealing with the loss of his brother and then going from a home environment to a facility….
