On behalf of the Delroys, The Spectre, The A.A.R.M.S band, The Decals, and Catty Wampus, thank you, Thatcher,( the coolest, most sarcastic nutjob I've ever had the privelege of drinking Smurf's Blood with...) for championing our causes. Every member of those bands remembers you, and misses you...ComFest wasn't the same this year...

A good friend that I will miss partying with. He is now on his last trip on the pineapple express... flying hi in the sky.

Hey Thatchy! I'll always miss your unorthodox sense of humor, easy smile, and good friendship. All of us who put together the Community Festival will be forever indebted for all you did, including your management of the Gazebo Stage. Oh, and lest I forget: save a cup of coffee for me when I see you some day... but not too soon :)

Thatcher was a fun friend that will be missed by his ComFest family and friends. I thought about him today while grinding my last coffee beans that I got from him before he passed. My best to his brothers Tim and Ted and his surviving family. Peace.

You will be missed my friend, I am sad that that the obit failed to mention the time you spent bringing smiles to the humble and huddled masses of Mama's. We See You and We will miss you!

Dear kind Thatcher, Wish to thank you for being there, for my daughter throughout her teenage years and adult years . You were a rock to her and I knew she had someone to turn to. It was good to have you visit us with your delicious coffee this spring, but knew you were not well, and was a great concern to Mary Ann. GOD BLESS YOU AND I KNOW YOU WILL Be WATCHING FROM A DISTANCE. Just a mother who knew you cared about her daughter.....Thank you Thatcher

Thatcher was a father-figure,mentor,bestfriend,ex-roommate of mine and he will be sadly missed.I remember him taking me to the Park of Roses and would point out all the beautiful flowers.That's what I'm going to miss the most about Thatcher.
