Morning Folks!!
I wrote this Saturday Night just minutes after we learned that Bandit had passed. Mike and Judy are obviously devestated but the support of the domainer community during tough times is always quite striking.......
Very sad night for Mike and Judy Berkens on the passing of Bandit. Known by most domainers from his appearance at many industry events. Bandit was 13.
Alina and I along with Freddy are just without words and know this is a really tough time for the Berkens.
I will remember Bandit the most as a Ladies Man as pictured below. A 'Bandit' that can tame even the toughest 'TRAFFIC Cops'
Bandit at TRAFFIC 2011 just 4 weeks ago. Still with the ladies.

I don't know what to say or how to say it. Our hearts are broken too.
Bandit really did steal all of our hearts.

There is no Love as pure, as enduring, as devoted, as unconditional, in life as the Love we experience and cherish forever in our souls with our dogs. It is truly magical and eternal.
Rest in peace Bandit.

Great post Rick!
In addition to spending numerous events/holidays/conferences/happy hours with Bandit, I was lucky enough to spend some one-on-one time with him for an entire weekend in San Francisco in late October. We had a blast! :) He will always be remembered and loved by all!
My thoughts/prayers/sympathy go out to Mike & Judi
