I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
Oh damn - this is a real shock. I'll miss both of them.
But especially faded glory, who often took the mod heat off me and the other trolls and spammers by making himself a large target
Sad to lose good people so young

I didn't know FG very well, but it is indeed tragic to loose someone that young. My condolences to the family

Sorry, no luck on the police accident records in Walworth County. I'll try to check Kenosha County today.

Thank you much, I spent multiple hours researching the minimal amount of information I have on Steve......Originally posted by donegeal

To no avail....
Not that @ this point it would matter, other than I personally want to drop his family a card and a prayer for peace..

I've seen mention of a card, but what about just asking Ming to e-mail the brother a link to this thread and have this act as the card?
I remember FG when I first came to 'poly... he was in the CtP PBEM area and always impressed me as a good player and smart person... though he did seem to get in trouble with the mods often it wasn't usually anything major.
I remember the time he got banned for having an interesting female-themed avatar...
And all this time I was hoping he'd some day choose to return to CtP PBEM.

Sad News Indeed
Rest in Peace
To those who are searching the obits, you might be looking too recently. The PM to Ming was sent on 10/18/2003, but only after his brother was cleaning out his things. We need to cross check that date with the date of Faded Glory's last posting to get the proper time window to do a search.
EDIT: The last post I foudn for him was on 9/21/2003. He was a regular poster before that. I would check bwetween 9/21/2003 and 9/28/2003. It seems almost certain that the funeral has already been had.Last edited by pchang; October 20, 2003, 10:28.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

Flame,
Ming didn't get an email from Steve's brother, he got a PM from faded's account. Any PMs sent to faded glory now will of course most likely never be read by anyone...
pchang,
If you reread the message Steve's brother sent to Ming, you'll see that he passed away Wednesday (the 15th).Comment

Locutus is correct...
Also... his last posting date was due to a restriction (see his last post and guess why) not his death.Keep on Civin'
RIP rah, Tony Bogey & Baron OComment

Oops. That would make it the 14th for the accident (for some reason, I was looking back at the 8th, 9th and 10th). I will recheck again tonight.Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!

What a shame that ****ing drunk drivers keep stealing precious lives every day and too little is done to prevent it.
