Amen to everything that everyone has posted about Flander. We shared some corresspondence before he got sick.

I never knew what his favorite watering hole might have been, but it occurs to me that a $5 contribution from those that knew him even briefly could purchase a nice plaque to be erected there in his memory.

I'm in, how about some response from our brothers.

Pura vida,

Ye Old Man

I think that's a great idea and have a picture that could be used for a plaque.

Count me in.

It is nice to see the posts honoring Flander.

As for the memorial/marker I am not sure. The information forwarded to me was that there would be no service, memorial, or flowers.

I am sure that Flander is pleased with the posts and as King Costa pointed out Flander would be tipping a Johnny Walker Red and water and sharing stories with all at happy hour.

I agree with Willy P....... I think we could have a nice little party honoring Flander. He was a really special person.

I just received an email that Flander one of our elder members has passed away. He battled an illness that was very painful and the one consolation is that his pain is now gone.

He was to have met me in February and was also planning to return in May, but his heath wouldn’t allow it.

It was my privilege to have met Flander in May of last year. HungLo and King Costa were there as well. Flander and I met up with Vegas Bob and made a date to go to Princess Marana for dinner with some ladies we had met. Having made friends at breakfast at the Presidente we continued to correspond. He enjoyed the time spent with Vegas Bob playing black jack as well as the others that he had met. Thanks to CRT I was able to make his acquaintance. He bought Lands End shirts and had CRT and Costa Rica Ticas embroidered on them so people would recognize him. He enjoyed CRT and the people he met from the board. We shared a lot of stories and laughs over that week we met and the time in between trips.

Then in October King Costa, Philly Rookie, Flander and I spent time together in Tamarendo. This was a fantastic time away from the gulch and an opportunity to get to know one another. We stayed at a house that King Costa has there. During that time we listened to Flander tell jokes and stories from his past.

He would bring us flavored condoms of the day at breakfast which he had brought from home. He would pass out a different flavor each day.

If you didn’t have the honor to have met Flander you missed something. Flander enjoyed life and lived it to its fullest.

I will miss my friend very much.




We will definitely lift our glasses (as well as a few skirts) in honor of Flander at the Chicagoland Meeting tomorrow night.....

I never met the man, either.
But he was a brother.

That he was a CRT member tells me he was man that went
his own way, and enjoyed himself to the end!

Mi-Amor; I will have a drink in his honor also!

RUFFNUTZ- that is a great tribute!


I have not known Flander or even read any of his post being a Newbie, but the tribute you brothers have put here in your posts brought tears to my eyes. Sounds like a wonderful "southern gentelman" to me.
My thoughts and prayers to his family and all his brothers of this great site. May we have the right to ALL meet at that great cantina in the sky!
My glass to is raised high!
