An old friend of mine passed away about 2 weeks ago from liver cancer. We knew each other back in the mid Eighties, when furry fandom was just beginning. In fact, he was one of the people who started the first furry convention. Before that, it was room parties at Sci-Fi and Comic book conventions. I did some art for him, which he appreciated very much. As time went by and the furry community grew, we saw less and less of each other. I was lucky enough to see him one last time at MFF in December 2023. We talked at bit, cleared some things up. I’m glad I was able to do that.
He’s gone now, but I will always remember him.
