This will be an encore Sunday Post, from July, 2007. I learned yesterday, from Lois Lane, that Old Hoss (Gene Maudlin) passed away. I went looking here for times that I’d linked to him, and I thought this one would be as fitting a tribute as I could find. Rest any way you choose, Hoss:

Oh, and I just remembered something I wanted to share with you. This past week, as I was out visiting, I came across Old Hoss, making perfect sense (I know; I couldn’t believe it either!). Worth reading.
What Was I Thinking? 
This was a wonderful tribute, Susie.
I never really followed Hoss’ blog but I liked seeing him around, commenting on other blogs.
Sad.
Go Hoss! May we all attain the simple wisdom that he possessed. I’m happy for him.
we have lost a great one. Thanks Susie for letting me know.
Hiya, Susie!
Good to see you have a Sunday post here, even if the news is sad.
Thanks for passing the word about Old Horsetail Snake.
Like someone mentioned before, I was not a regular for reading at his place, but I do like the comments he leaves for others.
And the Guthrie quote handed over some much needed comfort for me today.
Gonna go take a nap. The clock change has me all out of sorts now.
~~love and Huggs, Diane
Sorry to hear of it.
I remember him as a commenter more than a blogger, too.
Sorry to know that he has passed, but it is to a better place.

Thank you for sharing this with us, Susie. I didn’t read Hoss regularly, and I had missed this one. It’s a good one. Real good.
((Hugs))
RIP Hoss!
