I never knew him personally, or even spoke to him, or even saw him in the forums I think, but the is so so sad. My condolences to the family and friends, and those close to him in this community.

He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

 

Requiescat in pace.

Oh my...

 

R.I.P

RIP, my condolences to his family.

It is indeed a very sad time. My condolences to his family. I will light a candle tonight for him as is the custum in the CF (Cystic Fibrosis) community.

I was pretty saddened by the news when I found out the other week. Pup was one of the nicest people you could hope to meet, and I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with him while I was on the Tip.It staff.

 

Even when he was waiting for his lung transplant back then I never heard him complain. In fact I didn't know he had CF for a very long time. He wasn't one that used it as a crutch or a reason to complain; he always was in a good mood and was up for a laugh no matter how bad he felt. Being around someone like that really helps you put your problems in perspective and realize that you aren't a victim of your circumstances - how you face your problems is entirely up to you. Pup fought for a very long time, and I'm glad he can now have some peace.

It's very sad news to hear this. I have personally worked close with Pup, and him and I got along. It's sad to think of all the friends who i've lost contact with over the years, and even sadder to find out that a great person like Alduron has passed away. My prayers and best wishes will be with his family, and I know that Alduron has moved on to a better place. I know I speak for the entire community who was involved with him when I say, there will be a empty place in tip.it that just can't be filled.

Sad times! thoughts to his family! how old was he? :pray:

It's very sad to hear that someone has died, no matter who it is. I just joined and hearing this makes me sad. But it warms my heart (and hopefully his family) that everyone here is caring and loved him as a person.

 

He will be missed. I will be praying for him and his family.

*sigh* This is right up there when I learned from the OoC very late that Stevester77 had passed.

 

Very sad to hear. His work around here has had a huge impact. His work lives on.

 

I believe he made the rank images which are currently being used, correct?

 

No. That credit still belongs to Greatsilverwyrm, a name I would presume is all but forgotten by much of this community. There were some additions to GSW's original image set, which I think Pup might have contributed to. Can't remember offhand.

 

I worked closely with Pup for a time. How and when isn't important (those tempted to divulge the how and when of my involvement-- mind your own bizzo and keep your lip zipped, it ain't your story to tell, K?). I will say that he was kind to me regardless of what happened. I did know that he had CF but missed the news of his transplant. I know he worked in forensics; that he managed to be employed just adds to the testament of his work ethic and courage despite illness. To be quite honest, I was rather envious of that.

 

(Seriously, those of you thinking to blab about me-- let me say this-- I'd say above most everyone else, he let me keep my dignity when it counted. I'm also not a stranger to chronic illness, by the way. Consider that for a mo before typing.)

 

I always enjoyed asking him about the weather in Arizona. Hopefully he can still feel that warmth, somehow.

My condolences and prayers extend to his family.

I am sorry that i am leaving a comment in this topic. :sad:

Oh wow, that's so sad.

 

I'll keep him in my prayers.

Rest in peace Alduron, my deepest condolences to your family and loved ones.

Only been part of the forums a few days, but it's always said to hear a persons died. Sounds like he was a massive part of the Community. My condolences to his family and friends :(

R.I.P dude :(
