The Passing of a Dear Friend (Rathowen/Donavon RIP)

[Hern]

This is crazy.

I was having a moment of nostalgia and decided to see what you crazys were up to and I find this.

It makes me a sad panda=/

I always liked Rath. I'll always remember that game of drunken spoons with a butter knife...and a scar on my finger to prove it.

Rip Rath.

Those pics bring back good memories of the Marion bash. RIP Rath.

Been a bit since I visited and saw this. RiP Don, we had some great exchanges over the years.

This is always a reminder that I need to keep in touch with all of you more often. Donovan was a good friend in the early years of my time here. I still remember the Limo ride to the airport going to the Reno bash.

I wish I would have looked up sooner that I could have said hello sooner and expressed my condolences much before this.

The last time I visited the forums was when I heard of tork's passing, I decided to drop by on a whim tonight and see this thread.

I met Rath in person twice, once in Las Vegas and once in VA. He was always quick with a joke and a pleasure to be around. He was the loudest snorer I have ever met, the walls would literally shake. I never really talked to him much in game or on the boards, but from those two meetings I regret I never got to know him better.

(don't even ask what led me here, or to those pics, but glad I was! Good Stuff thems were!)

Tara, pointing out those pictures made me head over to the archived Bash thread from Decae's house 2005. I noticed that the bash photo's I'd uploaded were no longer online.

Pretty sure Rath is in a few of them, although they are not labelled. Currently I'm adding to the photos folder.
