BUZZURRO

This morning I learned some terrible news. Blogger Nickie Goomba died in Italy.

I have never met Nickie Goomba in real life. I don’t know his real name, address or profession. In that respect he is more like a stranger, but I do know his mind… well some of it at least. He was the author of a wonderful blog. His humor and satire of world events made his blog special. Buzzurro and I looked forward to reading every new post, just as much as we looked forward to the humorous,witty comments he left on our blog.
We were so greatly honored when Nickie Goomba decided to include us in his ‘famiglia Goomba’ a group of select blogs that was prominent on his own blog. We were also so greatly honored when he nominated our blog of just a few months for the Weblog Awards, which was a thing we never heard about and could never even hope to earn a nomination for.
I didn’t even know Nickie was sick until 6 months ago when he stopped blogging. I knew he must have been seriously ill because I could tell by his posts that he really, really enjoyed blogging. I kept returning to his blog hoping for a recovery and a new post, but unfortunately God had other plans.
Good bye my friend, Nickie Goomba. Rest in peace. Riposa in Pace.

A tribute to Nickie Goomba
