This is so sad and tragic. I also read about this on the "other" site, and then here. I first met Jackhammer at an initial LA Hooboy dinner at the now defunct Numbers. This is where I first met Tomcal, Jackhammer and many other members. As I recall there was about 10-12 members. I had the pleasure of getting to know Jackhammer. First at some of these LA Hooboy gatherings, and then sometimes just the two of us would meet up for lunch or dinner at various venues around town. Also met up with him in Rio a couple of times as are paths crossed..........
He was one of the good guys. The last time I saw him (a few short years ago), we met at Canter's Deli in LA for lunch - he had just survived his initial bout of cancer, treatment, etc. Looked a little leaner, but good - and his prognosis seemed to be positive. I know thru his postings that he struggled off and on with his illness these past few years.
I am heartbroken to hear this news, and thinking long and hard on why we did not stay in touch these past few years. Rest In Peace.

I was with the muscled one you mentioned - this was maybe 4-5 years ago, and he was also working at 117. Very nice guy - totally versatile. I believe he went by the name of Junior (of course - Junior is the name of 20-30% of the boys in the saunas - lol!)

I have visited Curitiba and agree - it's a very nice city - clean and well run. Botanical Gardens are beautiful and worth a long afternoon to visit. Also took advantage of a Hop On / Hop Off self-guided bus tour around the city. Saunas were great - smaller than Rio or SP but very friendly and very good looking guys. Definitely worth a visit!
