Dead Dave Rennie

 Dave, I can't remember whether you were Army or Marines??? Duh.....
BFRDMR: I know but it works for me or it use to
BFRDMR: army lrrpS

 

 it necessary to stay inside cos I'm afraid I'll kill someone
 
BFRDMR  SAME HERE nEVER  TALKED TO ANYONE WITH SAME PROBLEM

 that's a good reason

I feel I have to protect other people from me.

BFRDMR  out in 84 to go back to school  took out a prof talking about the NAM

 

BFRDMR  Have a VA shrink Ive been working with for the past 5 years
BFRDMR  She comes to me
BFRDMR  I go absolutly nowhere
..
BFRDMR  took over twenty years of VA bullshit and me hurting someone for it
to happen

 

BFRDMR  Eagle ever since you mentioned MS last week Ive been messed up

same here

sorry to hear that dave

BFRDMR  Grandfather had it  Died at 60 Father had it died at 60  mulipule amputations IRINIC
BFRDMR  IRONIC
 
BFRDMR  tell me possible
BFRDMR  Ive got enough problems without the leg and all srew that
BFRDMR  I ignore them
BFRDMR  there it is
BFRDMR  iceing on the cake Jamie never called

 

You want me to send you the log from last night when I talked with Bev?

Or I think it was Dave pretending to be Bev
I'm just not going to "baby" him anymore
 I think really we have a wannabe

 I'm almost believing that too

 Same Same

 

 
 Scary, Dave.  How did you handle it?
BFRDMR  It was a standoff me ; my 12 Gauge 1 45 cal and lots of cops
BFRDMR  I freaked one Para medic told the cops to back off and came in
BFRDMR  once he was sure I was cool he left
BFRDMR   that was my first night   fun

    you traveling with guns?
BFRDMR  long story short Jamie decided she wants to stay in NY with her FATHER  (STEP)  but still at grandfathers

How old is Jamie, Dave?

BFRDMR  called uncles ,aunts cousins   left messages none returned
BFRDMR  15
BFRDMR  I called her tonight
 
BFRDMR  they still think im dead
BFRDMR  probably right

 Why do they think you're dead?

BFRDMR  Jamie told me she was confused when we spoke tonight

 That is understandable.  Confused about what?
BFRDMR  she blames me for leaving her 14 years ago

 Hmm.  Dave, it is hard to try to explain that to a kid her age. Really hard.

BFRDMR  her mother told her I gave her drugs when she was a baby   bullshit
 
BFRDMR  we never talked about anyof thisw
BFRDMR  mother also told her I left  SHE LEFTME AND JAMIE alone for 6 months
 

BFRDMR  jamie doesnt know this

    He tried to call his shrink that is Fee basis with VA and Dave told her he had 45 and was suicidal
 
BFRDMR  even shrnk pushed me awaw
 Suicidal
 Shrink told Dave to make sure he did it right
 Dave then called me

 

 Right now, you couldn't take care of her anyway
 When she's a little older, she might come to you of her own accord
BFRDMR: Ive thought it out from every angle it still doesnt stop the hurting
Dave, I know it's painful for you.
But you did all you could for now

BFRDMR: it dont mean nothing

 

He's as nice as can be on the phone
.
 would almost expect him to attempt it again in the very nearfuture......

 He told me he had driven his car into a brick wall, but it didn't work

 talked in note about fear of death.... talked again on line about he may die....may get

killed and wasnt afraid.....

Well, no use in staying if he's gone--and he might get killed
Now is not a good time for all of us....and his other shit dont help.

 if te kids been thrown out..mom doesnt want her, stepdad threw her out...where's the threat?

My point was that off all people  Dave didnt and doesnt need to be harrassed
by anyone for his and our service to this nation . He has recently spent alot
of time in the Hospital and as too proud to tell how those whi attacked hin
upset him man . I Knowyou""dont care about me being a nam vet"" but I have
great concern for vets . I was there as wee manu other and irs time to help
those like Dave live what time they have lefr in pace . While in the VA when
the doctors were messing with whats left of his legs { Not Much Vet66A} .
Thet did a routine physical and found shadows in Dav's Chest cavity two were
large and some smaller ones also one on his brain . They ran test on him 
catscan and many others and at this point it doest kook good . The VA
suggested Chemo be started immiediatly but Dave said no . He has simply given
up . My letter was not for ME hell Om fine it was ment to let you know one
hell of a man is dying piece by piiece and is looking for someone to talk
with . I am not that person Vet I cant talk about the Nam thets my problem as
I stated Im fine . . I live a very solitary life alone and dont need a thing 
 "it dont mean nothing "  but I met Dave by happenestance and have foundhim
to be agressive at times as a result ofhis pain but the man loves his warrior
brothers and is alone . Thankyou for writing back I know theres little any of
can do but I see no reason to let Dave die alone .. Do you ??  Nice talking
with you even if you dont care about my being a nam veteran . Your right why
should you care .

Dear friends........
     Our good friend and brother, Dave Rennie (BFRDMR), lost the good fight on Wednesday, September 13th.
     His wishes were no funeral, no cards, no flowers...therefore the 2 week wait for notification to everyone.  He was a wonderful man, and helped a lot of people, online and in person.  He loved all of you very much, but suffered a lot the last few months, and was not afraid to face the next Great Adventure.  I like to think...he is not only walking now....he is not only running now.....but he is FLYING now.
