Good Bye, Farewell, So long, See Ya!

[mustang marty]

Hi Folks,

There is an old saying at Ford...."There comes time in every program where you have to shoot the engineer and start production" There are decisions one must make in life as we get older...Family matters, health etc. So with much weighing of my point in life, It is time for me to say good bye to the 5G forums and fade into the woodwork. I simply cannot at this juncture spend the time it takes to read every forum post and for those posts, where I can contribute, respond. My life requires refocusing on other priorities.

So I am saying good bye to all forum members and wish all of you the best, happy motoring and good luck! It has been a good ride for me, but time that I move on.

I will lurk on these forums for a while as time permits, but my participation will be limited.

Wishing you all the best Phil , you have helped so many of us.

Seeing this thread in latest posts all the time makes me sad. A very bitter sweet... I told my gf how I was surprised to see this and how it made me a little sad inside, she laughed and told me "how silly I am". She just doesn't get the kind of person Phil was

Phil, You'll be missed! I've loved reading your post, and most of all, the "back stories". Don't be a stranger, and pop in at times!

Wishing you the best!!

I'm late to this party, but I wanted to add my thanks to the pile of gratitude that has already been expressed. You are a very important part of this community, and I hope that if and when you have a few minutes to kill you'll be able to come back and say hi from time to time.

Wishing you and your family (including the turtle!) all the best.

Phil - God's Speed, fair winds, and following seas on your life's voyage. You've personally replied to a couple of questions I had as a newb Ranger owner which I very much appreciate and has helped me tremendously with my truck. Your sagely wisdom will be truly missed. May His Face Shine upon you and the peace of the Lord go with you!! Tom

Thanks Phil for the time you have spent sharing your wealth of knowledge. Take care of yourself and family. Safe travels.

Don't blame you. Social media can be such a time suck, and there are so many other things to do with your time.

Thanks for your participation and insight. I've appreciated it.

The F 150 forums have Ford reps posting I wish we'd get an official one.

 

[KJRR]

Well dang, I spend less time here and the guy whose posts you never failed to read is gone.
Appreciate all the time and stories you shared with us.
Never goodbye, always see you later.
