This post is just plain and simple, I miss Nostamj. Period.

[anarchy1999]

RIP, dear Jeff, I miss you so. DU is not the same without you and your spirit. We all miss you, lots. I have no toons to post, my heart just breaks missing you and what you contributed.

Thank you and once again, you are so missed.

1. I do too.

He elevated DU in his way. Fortunately, there other people here whose contributions really give this place an edge politically, intellectually, and artistically. Still, Nostamj was one of the best and I really do miss his presence here.

2. Me too... every time I see political cartoons posted... Khephra too!

I'd sure like to think that they are partying together and hopefully sending us some direction from wherever they are.

We truly are better for having known you both, guys--even if it was a cyber relation.

7. I miss him too

Amazing how his personality came out through this medium.

His toon page was something I looked forward to every week.

RIP, Jeff.

8. I miss him too...

and I barely knew him.

9. We need to keep posting TOONS in his honor

One group TOON post per week. Everyone could contribute one or two?

[Robbien]

10. Me too. I find myself noticing he is not here

I miss his opinions and wit in the threads. Its not the same without him.

Peace.

11. COL, what happened to him? I haven't been here for a few days.

He and Kef both in the same year..that seems so wrong,,goddammit.

[linazelle]

12. I miss him too. I'm reminded everytime I see political 'toons. n/t

[foreigncorrespondent]

13. I do too!

I try not to think about his passing when I am at work, but I just can't help it, and ultimately end up in tears.

DU really isn't the same without our dear nostamj!

[Blue Diadem]

14. Me too,

We miss you Jeff.

[Dem2theMax]

15. Same here.

I keep looking for Nostamjs name and the TOONS thread. Sigh. I think I'll be doing that for a long time to come. He gave us so much of himself. What a wonderful man.

[derby378]

16. I miss him, too - new TOONs page tomorrow morning

I'll keep up the tradition as long as I'm able - just one more day until the next batch, guys.

17. If we had a DU Hall of Fame ??

nostamj and Khephra would be the first two inductees.

[anarchy1999]

25. Maybe it is time. Sorry to think so, but just maybe. Thanks Kentuck for

the idea.

Skinner, where are you? A DU Hall of Fame? Hmmmm....

[wicket]

26. amen to that

:kick:

[CatWoman]

19. same here, Anarchy

I just can't believe that he's gone :cry:

I adored/adore Jeff.

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. Me too.

He was such a kindhearted soul.

[Plaid Adder]

21. I miss him too. It's weird, but I keep sort of waiting for the chance

to say goodbye to him. Which I will never get, of course.

Dangit,

The Plaid Adder

22. I surfed over to cagle.com ...

Saw a bunch of good ones, automatically thought, "I'll bet that Nostamj will pick these for sure!" -- then remembered.

RIP, Jeff.

23. Derby and JHB are doing a great job of continuing the "Toons" thread.

I don't think any of us will ever get over missing Nostamj, but we do have to go on and Derby and JHB are helping us to do that. Sometimes though it hurts, through time I believe it will stop hurting so much, maybe.

RIP, Jeff and Kephra.

Thank you, Derby and JHB for continuing. Derby, you did a wonderful job this am.

24. I miss him too

I was cleaning the other day and found the shirt I bought off his site and it really hit me. Such a nice, talented man taken from us much too soon :(

[BeachBuckeye]

27. The "New York Bureau" will remain open....but

In Jeff's honor we will never name a new bureau chief to take his place.
Jeff's voice is sadly missed.

[anarchy1999]

28. Thank you, Guy. We all apparently are still in mourning and hurting from

losing Jeff so unexpectedly. Thank you for keeping New York open forever more. Who possibly could ever take his place?
