Brothers,
I just got the word. This has hit me really, really hard... as you all have experienced when you first got the tragic news. What makes it especially painful is that I have been away for some time and I feel terrible for not keeping in touch. I didn't really realize how close you can get to someone you never met face to face until they are no longer there. As I write this, I don't know how I'll come to grips with not keeping in touch with him and with all of you.
I feel many of the same sentiments that Murf has expressed in his earlier post here and to read your responses reminds me of why I came to FVIII in the first place. I hope that I can make a return to TS and catch up with you, even though I cannot join you in game.
All I can manage to express into words is that how lucky I am to have known Dale and for all that he has taught me over the years and in his passing; I will forever remember our long late night chats and bayo-stabs in RO. He is loved like a brother and will be missed as long as I breathe.
Rest in peace brother.
