Instead of individual posts to remember fallen forumers, it was decided at some point to have one annual thread. Since April 23 marks the day the old SSSF was switched off, it seems fitting that we remember our forum friends who have passed over to the Great Forum in the Sky.

Raise a glass to:
Geoff D (2013)
Stumpy Seahorse (2018)
Shell aka Artemis (2020)
Richard C (2020)
Curve (2020)

Plus a few others that haven’t been confirmed, like bob (from black rock), Glowie, Argus.

Lest We Forget.

Cheers!

Saluté to our friends who have pass away.

‘passed’

Raises a cup of tea to absent friends.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

Did Curve have another handle?

May they rest in peace.

dips lid and 1 minute’s silence in remembrance

TA DA, nice to see you peeping in again :)

By coincidence, last night I downloaded and saved a few entire months of Chat threads from years when Stumpy and Awesome were still with us, and I’ll get some more in the days ahead. Hopefully there are still some entire Chat threads surviving on Google from Geoff’s era.

It’s like having a time machine so you can go back and mingle with departed friends again.

Curve is dead? I hadn’t caught up with that one.

Have You Been To Memphis Lately

Since everyone’s on about it.

Missed the news on Richard C. :(

It’s sort of nice, comforting, to think that there might be someone here that will remember strange things I said once.

I missed the news on pretty much everyone. Is it wrong to ask what happened to each person?

Geoff D (2013) cancer
Stumpy Seahorse (2018) diabetes type 1
Shell aka Artemis (2020) leukaemia
Richard C (2020) dunno, heart attack maybe
Curve (2020) bad lungs.

I thought Shell was MND?

ahhh yes, that’s right. maybe thinking of geoff who had lymphoma I believe.

I’m probably the worse person to respond what with my dementia and everything.

I assume Curve was multiple organ failure. He had just had an unsuccessful operation to install a fistula or suchlike for daily dialysis as his kidneys were basically defunct.

Pretty sure it was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
