I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I can relate--I also recently lost a GURPS buddy. (Post is here.)

I'm deeply sorry to hear about both of your friends passing, they sound like inspirational great people, my condolences.

It's not against the rules but I'd rather not have several distinct threads on the same topic, particularly one this personal, so I'm merging them and asking that anyone who has recently departed GURPS-connected friends use this thread rather than starting a new one.

I was completely confused for a while and thought I'd accidentally posted in the wrong place--I didn't realize you had moved things.

Honestly, to me two different people dying is two different topics. I wrote obituaries for newspapers, and even if two people died in the same incident, they each got their own obit. But I know here it's not my decision.

My condolences to you, and your friend's loved ones.

My condolences on your loss. Loosing a friend is never easy.
Of course a good GM is very rare & loosing both makes it twice as bad.

My sympathy for your loss as well.

I lift a mug in toast to his memory.

Thank you all for your sympathy and condolences. It means a lot to me that the GURPS community is now aware of Vance's contribution to our gaming.

I lift a mug in his memory, and a second as a salute to you all.
