*sigh* Just read this thread and realized the news. God bless you on your new journey OBG, and many prayers to you, your loved ones, and close friends. You will be missed...

Thank you Basecamp. Knowing he has passed is much better than fearing he's alive and suffering.

I echo Blast's sentiment. Thank you so much.

With heavy heart for our loss;
With Joy for his final release
With fondness in reflection

Don's good works and kind words will hopefully reside here forever as a reminder for those of us he helped and an introduction for those who did not to someone who had good heart and lived as an example to others.

Prayers for you and your family OBG.

Craig.

I am sure like many here I pretty much knew his fate. However, reading the confirmation of that belief has left a real hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach. OBG will continued to be missed by those on this forum, who enjoyed his wisdom and hearing about his life’s experiences. If there is any comfort in his death, it is the knowledge that those cared for him were with him during this challenging time in his life.

For me, death is the opening of a new door with new and exciting experiences. I believe OBG is now on a new journey. Enjoy!

Pete

Think it was Chris Kavanagh who said a forum felt like the wrong place to say this at the time we first heard, so I sent this privately to OBG. Now I'm posting it as part of the richly deserved praise he's getting.

"Thought I'd leave it to Doug to have the last word on the forum. So I'm sending a private message.
Fare thee well.
I've enjoyed our sparring and though we've disagreed at times, it was over interpretation of the actual facts. Not the 'invention, backed up with insults' many think is a good way to reach the truth. I rarely join in the forum now, since the standard of debate is so poor.
It never was with you. I like to think we learned to respect eath other. I certainly came to respect you. And learnt very quickly to check my facts in a thread you were part of.

Robert E Lees words on the loss of his cavalry commander J.E.B Stuart (responsible for recconnaisence) is the finest epitaph a debator could have.

"He never brought me a piece of false information".

You've earned it.

The Sock"
