tep392 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I just had a DK XM shipment for member Purenergy returned indicating he is deceased. Looks like he had been a long time member. Very sad. I don't know if his friends or family use this forum, but I would like to share my condolences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariBrian Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Horrible to find out . He was a very nice guy . I did find his obit also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Very sad. He purchased one of my Radica Space Invaders joysticks for the 7800 a few years ago, and was always a pleasure to interact with. RIP Brad! (I'm reminded that I need to leave instructions for my family so that, if anything happens to me, someone on AA is notified. I'd like my collection to end up with other collectors.)

+Yurkie Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It is very sad indeed. I considered Brad a dear personal friend. Here is an obituary. Damn shame to not find out until many months later. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/heralddemocrat/obituary.aspx?pid=164570574 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I remember some comments from him in the Colecovision forum. So young... that's very sad. RIP By the way, the obituary is wrong, it says April 39, probably it's 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Tragic - just tragic By the way, the obituary is wrong, it says April 39, probably it's 29. It was possibly April 19th - that was the last day he was active on AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonner242 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Im beyond words to hear this. Brad was a great guy. I consider him a real friend. In fact i promissed that he had dips on a large chunk of my collection when the time came. He had a thong for xustom boxes. Had many coversations with him over the years. Helped him out back in 2007-8 when he lost everything. Always a positive person even thru his ordeals. He had a real passion for gaming. Loved no LOVED the homebrews. I cant stress how much im really torn up on this. Now I know why he was so quiet for so long. I feel bad that we didnt get to talk more in the last 2 years. I know was busy with new home..work and he had his own issues too. We lost a truely great kind person in the AA family. Hope you are at peice buddy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
