Tribute to Chuck Keiser (cckeiser)

[Masked Dude]

I also don't agree with canonization.

For me I want to make a solo bowling pin with his name on it. (Maybe a black one with white stripe. Maybe a pin with a cloth over it.) In life we're like the pins. Life keeps knocking us down, and we just need to keep getting back up.

But there's that one day. One day your pin stays down.

I've asked cc's nephew for some photos and maybe a short bio so that we can put up a tribute page for him on the site to honor his legacy and also the Do No Harm philosophy he birthed which dovetailed so nicely with Dudeism.

Cool, good idea.

[BikerDude]

Might I suggest that some Dudeist form of canonization might be considered.


Canonization (in American English and Oxford spelling) or canonisation (in majority British English) is the act by which the Catholic Church or Eastern Orthodox Church declares a deceased person to be a saint, upon which declaration the person is included in the canon, or list, of recognized saints.

I have to be honest, this just strikes me of copying the christians. I have always been against the christianisation of dudeism.

I have no problem with making him a great Dude in history, but lets not start "canonising" people, it's too like we are trying to be another christianity.

IMHDO.

Well, there isn't a literal connection Dude.

bit, from your own post? I don't think you could get any more literal than that.

And again I think you are missing the point. Why would we have saints? We have great dudes in history we don't need anything else.

That is well put Masked Dude!  And I definitely consider him a Great Dude in History.  I am new here so don't feel like I've really formed my voice yet but I really think that should be made "Official".  The way I see it there is still plenty to be learned and understood from his posts and articles here!  His Dudeness will certainly live on!

Hey Dudes,

If I may introduce myself..
I am Chuck's (C.C. Keiser's) younger Bro, from his mothers 2nd marriage.
I want to first thank you all for this Tribute to him.
Sadly, In his latter days, I wasn't as close with him as I wished I could have been, so to me, I feel a great sorrow and I mourn loosing him.
I am grateful though,  that his suffering is ended and he can now rest in dudeist peace.

This may or may not be Dude like, but when I read this post I couldn't help but shed some tears.
dudeism.com/smf/your-dirty-undies/this-is-not-dude!/msg45897/

With regards to the Idea of canonisation,  I think I can safely say the C.C. Keiser would tell you this idea is NOT DUDE.

As meekon5 stated, making him a great Dude in history, or perhaps even a bit more elite than that,  a Classification such as "greatest Dudes in history" is most certainly More DUDE like.

Myself,  I was not part of the Dudeist aspect of C.C. Keiser's life.
So I am only now reflecting back on all that he is to all of the Dudes here.

C.C. Keiser was a prolific writer.  I'm sure he may have shared some of his stories with some of the Dudes here.
I and the rest of the Family are trying to collect as many of his stories as we can.

If anyone has been bestowed with some of his stories, please contact me so that I may add them to the family's collection.

Thanks,

Rest in Dudeist Peace my Bro

please.... Do No Harm

It would be nice to give him a little page in the corner of the forum.

Awesome idea, M5. Let's do it.

Hey dudes, in honor of our recently passed away fellow Dude, Chuck Keiser (cckeiser), I started this thread as a place to post material you enjoyed that Chuck had posted, and a place to comment on Chuck's material, contributions to Dudeism, and what have you.



As Chuck once remarked; "I'm just sitting here enjoying my coffee dudes....enjoying my coffee! 8)"

I'm also new here but have read many posts by CC. I didn't like seeing him go but he did make dudeism better - more strikes and less gutters thanks to CC. Best dudely wishes to all who knew him.
