Funny the timing on these things. I was just cleaning out my inbox yesterday and came across some old Diplomacy correspondence with Shining Path. Good guy.
For real.Yeah, that would be hilarious.How does one know if someone has passed away ?
Would be amusing to have a set length of time between posts (say 6 months) and then you get put on the " presumed dead " list.WTF?
That is awesome. Wish more could be done for suicide prevention and depression. Not many want to talk about it.Shining Path

ThanksAnother FBG who has passed away is Gandalas (several weeks ago).
While this thread seems kind of macabre, IMO it would be worse it seems to me if nobody knew/missed/or acknowledged someone's passing.
Your post implies SP committed suicide. RIPThat is awesome. Wish more could be done for suicide prevention and depression. Not many want to talk about it.Shining Path

HIs wife came on in April 2009 to tell the news: http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=466003&p=10247856Smack Tripper said:how and when did Afro Samurai go???? I had no idea
She said it had been about 3 months at that point.
That's who I was thinking of, but for some reason I didn't remember that being his user name. RIP.Kestrel was given an in memoriam member #273 on this board, but he died in the yellow board days.I don't have any FBG links, but here is my notebook on this subject:
dprugby - David Pfaff was his name, he passed away from a rare form of cancer in July, 2013. Someone who knew him IRL updated the PS3 draft thread around that time. Sorry, I don't have a link to that thread.
Kestrel - Danny Lamers was his name. I think it was his brother (a FBG) posted about it. As Grateful Zed said above, not sure if that was ol' yeller or not.

I didn't know he passed either. I know he basically signed off after all the Penn State stuff, but I didn't know he died. RIP.Sea Bass died? Always liked his posts, had no idea he was that old. RIP to all.
WHAT? He was a mainstay in the Shining Path's Cup league. :supersadbanana:Another FBG who has passed away is Gandalas (several weeks ago).
I'm not sure how many here might remember him, he wasn't active much in the FFA but did visit the Shark Pool and was fairly active in the IDP forum.
I didn't know him personally and don't know the details of his passing, other than that he was fairly young (late 30's I believe).
As to how I know this-he was the commish of a league I'm in and his passing was announced to our league by another league member who presumably knew him IRL.

:(:(it makes me wonder who we don't know about. That's probably a much bigger number :(
The wife is well aware of her responsibilities in this areaAnother reminder that we should all have a buddy system in place for this sort of thing. Let a spouse or sibling know to inform the FFA at some point even though it may be the last thing on their mind.
