I am very sorry to hear that, my condolences to his family.

[geetrue]

See you on the other side Firewall ...

I always liked it when people thought he was mad by typing in big bold letters, but then he explained that it was hard to see his post so he typed that way mad or not.

[Oberon]

I was just looking through his old posts and come across this:

Death is nothing to fear. It just needs to be understood.

Example: You are very old and your body is wore out.
You are in alot of excruciating pain and the paim meds at the
Hospital\Nursing Home aren't working anymore.

You've outlived all your Old Friends and loved ones.
You might financially even become a burden on your children.

If you look at Death then, it's not so scary and in someways
even become a Friend. It will give you the Release from all the
above.

If this is well thought out it, could be the answer that was always
there but Fear was keeping it unexamined as an Option.

Talk to your Dr. And excludeing the Pain meds. You stop all other
treatments and over extending methods. (Hope i said that right)

Life Support in a Nurseing Home just, isn't, for me for the above
reasons and, I'm sure I could come up with a few more.

To sum it up there's alot more things to fear than Death.

I wish you all a Happy and FULL life.


RIP FIREWALL...rest easy, sir.

I am greatly saddened by the news of this loss. For us, Firewall was a man who brought color, life and comedy to these forums. For his loved ones, this was no doubt a mere fragment of who he was as a human being. Our's is but an echo of the pain felt by those close to him. We thank him for being who he was and having the goodness to share that with us. He is at peace now; his struggle with illness no longer weighs upon him.

[Sailor Steve]

We didn't always get along, but we had some fun times.

Believe it or not, FIREWALL, I'm going to miss you.

-John Donne

Apropos, it was also Donne who said "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent."

[Penguin]

I have always an odd feeling when long-time posters suddenly stop writing, wonder what happened to them :cry:

Rest in piece, Firewall!

[frau kaleun]

That is sad news indeed. I had no idea he was that ill.

RIP good buddy.

[Jimbuna]

Fair winds and following seas my friend.

[GoldenRivet]

Wow, spent some time on the phone with him. He had talked about the possibility of flying out to Texas for flight training one day but it never panned out.

Prayers for his family

:cry:

[the_tyrant]

RIP :salute:

[jumpy]

bah, humbug

sooner we stop spending money on new weapons and start spending more on finding a cure for one of the most unpleasant diseases going, the better.

Too late for so many.

:(

[Reece]

I noticed below his Avatar, like GoldenRivet has "Navy Seal", FIREWALL has "Eternal Patrol", did Neal change this?:hmmm:

Most likely Neal did that.

If I'm remembering correctly there are a couple of eternal patrol members

It's at the top, under "Quick Links", next to the Search link.

Sad way to end the year.

[Reece]

Thanks, I never knew it existed, I wonder how many members that have not posted that have actually moved on?:hmmm: Sad thought!:cry:

[CCIP]

I almost hate to bring this up, but...

Anyone heard anything from Feuer Frei? It's now been 2.5 months, and I'm also getting a really bad feeling :(

I really hate cancer!

I posted a question about a month ago but still in the dark, I too am worried!:oops::cry:

If you want to do something about it you can click in my signature and help to find cures for cancer and some other stuff by "donating" the idle time of your computer to the world community grid. It doesn't impact on your normal computer usage (or at least I didn't notice anything so far).

I was also wondering a short while back :hmmm:

[She-Wolf]

sad shock; Coming and going on the forum, you expect the old names to always be there, like familiar landmarks - and then, suddenly, some are not ... :cry:

[danasan]

I am wondering as well. It has been a while since hearing from FF. Let's hope the best.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I also asked a few months ago. I even pm'd whichever Magic he was pally with (Thomas from Germany) to see if he'd heard anything but I got nothing back.

Last we heard things were looking good and so I can't expect the worst of his cancer.

[joea]

Sad news RIP Firewall. :cry:

[vienna]

RIP, Firewall...

[Red Heat]

I was away so long...
I didnt know...

P.S. RIP...Kommandant!

[Catfish]

Sad to hear, R.I.P. Firewall.
My condolences to his family.

[Jimbuna]

A very sad loss indeed...I still have his PM's saved...the last one being his condolences for the loss of my father.

RIP my friend.

[JU_88]

Very sad news indeed, RIP Firewall, I hope you have moved on to better place :cry:

[CaptainHaplo]

May his soul find peace, rest and contentment in the Hand of the Creator. May his family be comforted in thier time of loss.

[vienna]

RIP and and a peaceful last voyage...

Damn, that put a damper on a great day,
I'll miss firewall

Is there some way I can send a card or letter or something?

If you, and everybody else this week, read the first post you'd find this was from December, and FIREWALL passed away 26 Oct 2011. I think a card now might cause more trouble than you'd intend.

true, wish we would have known sooner when it would have been more acceptable to do so

[Herr-Berbunch]

Therein lies the problem with fora. I have had several members' addresses but that's no good if nobody informs us in a timely fashion - but why would they? How many tell our spouses/significant other to come here and inform the world of our demise?

Maybe we should, and sooner rather than later. :yep:

I'm pleased somebody has put this right because I didn't feel able.

None of it's nice but it did need saying. Obviously I'd still encourage those who remember him to drop by from time to time.

[AVGWarhawk]

That's a shame. RIP Firewall. Sometimes I wonder why members choose a particular forum name. Firewall was one them.
