Read through this thread at work today and man, that fucking blows.
Watched a close family member die of cancer and I wish that upon nobody. Sad to see someone who seemed like a good guy go in such a shitty way. RIP Scorcho, always loved your icon.
Heart sank when I saw the thread title update. I'm feeling very similar to many people who have already posted their thoughts. I've never met the guy, let alone directly talked to him over GAF. It's still awful to see a member of a community we all cherish pass away. He was too young. GAFers should be passing away in 2072, not 2012.
Cancer has afflicted too many people I know in my personal life. Now it's affected someone from GAF. It just won't go away.
my condolences. to lose anyone, much less a gaffer, to something as terrible as cancer is heartbreaking. best of luck to you, scorcho, wherever you end up.
I don't know why, but despite never even interacting with him as a new member, I burst into tears reading this thread. Youth being taken away like this is just...hard to stomach.
I am very sorry to say that I have no idea who Scorcho is, but it is always a sad day when one more good soul is claimed by the monstrosity that is Cancer.
Hopefully... despite the cancer, he had a good fulfilling life that he enjoyed and that the loved ones that he left behind, both in real life and in online, can stay strong.
Wow...and to think it's on the day a close friend of mine died from cancer 4 years ago. I almost forgot. I'm both angry and sad. I hope we can cure this awful disease some day.
