Ken passed yesterday He was in the hospital for a valve replacement in his heart and there was internal bleeding from the procedure they couldn't stop. I'm stunned, in tears and feeling very lost right now. He was my brother and my posting buddy. His family asked that I let you guys know and feel free to message me with any questions.

I appreciate you thinking of us and sharing this sad news; I know it must've been tough.
Ken was a delightful fellow and a joy to game with. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 105,409 Likes: 9 Beagle Goddess Moderator | | OP Beagle Goddess Moderator Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 105,409 Likes: 9 | It's beyond brutal and I not only lost my posting buddy, I lost someone I considered a brother.

Ken always seemed like nothing could keep him down for long. Asta, I am so, so, so sorry for your loss. How are you and Barry doing? Thoughts and prayers with you both as well as with Ken's family.
Jinkies!

I did not know him as well as I would have liked- but my world was better for knowing him.
May he be at peace, and may his closes family and friends remember him with laughter, smiles, and only tears of joy.
I am sure that is what he would have wanted- to be remembered with joy. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,498 Likes: 5 Arssanguinus Moderator |  Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,498 Likes: 5 | Ken was ..l just a good guy, that’s what I can say.

Can't believe it. Ken was one of our Greats. Always friendly, that's why he made such a good Membership Sysop, always full of ideas and enthusiasm, such a big part of DreamLyrics. He will leave a large hole here. In talking to Asta, I had an idea for a tribute to him, a forum in his memory where anyone could pop in and play. Where 2 or 3 could get together and just start a thread. No need for a formal GM, just a couple or so people with an idea that could be the basis of a game, long or short. It would be a great place for newcomers to get started, a great place to explore an idea, try out something new, maybe even a taste of GMing. I think he would approve. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,498 Likes: 5 Arssanguinus Moderator | | Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,498 Likes: 5 | He has that ‘ all games forum’ could you adapt that and keep it active for that purpose? | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 83,433 Likes: 102 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 83,433 Likes: 102 | Well it is a restricted forum, so probably not the most suitable.. but thanks for the suggestion.
