    :arrowblack Passing of a friend and fellow cave diver

    It is with great sadness that Tj and I I learned today of the passing of our friend Alan Percosky, known to his friends as "Buc".

    Buc was a regular in cave country, and a great guy with a big heart. He was killed in a vehicle accident.

    Our thoughts are with his wife.

    You will be greatly missed Buc.

    Oh no! His poor wife. Thanks for the update, Denise.

    I'll miss those late night phone calls from the road to talk diving.

    Here's the news article. A drunk driver, disgusting:

    A fatality accident on I-75 in Lamar County near the High Falls Rd. exit killed one and left traffic snarled for about nine hours Friday.


    A Chevy Cobalt allegedly cut in front of a tractor-trailer rig, colliding with it. Both vehicles overturned.

    The truck driver Alan Scott Percosky, 45 of Jacksonvile died at the scene. The Chevy driver, 29-year-old Paige Nicole Brown of Chattanooga, was charged with first degree vehicular homicide, DUI and other offenses.

    Brown was unhurt and is now housed in the Lamar County jail.

    The crash occurred at 3:30 a.m. Traffic was still being routed around the crash at noon.

    I'll remember his smile. He wore it more often than most people I know.

    I didn't know who we were talking about until I saw the photo, very sad indeed.

    And the drunk lives...go figure.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.
