It's quite touching. We will all miss him very much. He was a sweet person.

Yes he was. Too great are the words to describe what he meant to the friends and furs of the fandom. I can never say enough how much of a friend I found in him during any of the fur cons I've been to, and I'm very glad to see how his association, concerns, and hard work within and outside the furry fandom helped to become an inspiration to us all. Thanks for your comment. *hugs*

He helped me out with a minor medical crisis at FC06 - I recall him fondly as a much clearer head than mine or any other assembled. It's a shame he went so early, but at least it was on a motorbike - I don't think I've ever known any motorcycle enthusiast to be happier then when on a bike.

I've often heard of the vigil a motorcyclist holds with the road and the machine. I just hope that the drunken Marine that took his life gets a lot more than just a slap on the wrist. That drunk driver knew nothing about the type of person he took out of this world, and that's one thing that really saddens me. Thanks for your comment. *hugs*

One of the few furs who openly invited me into their homes... we watched Triples of Belview... he was a great guy, he will be missed!

A great guy indeed. And what a movie to watch together, too. I recall going to see that movie in the theater with Babs Bunny and Ostrich out here in Columbus, and we found it to be a great delight and ray of sunshine on our overcast day. Furp was definitely the type that offered heart and home-warming tidings to all, which makes his legacy shine on in the light of goodness and graciousness. Thanks for your comment. *hugs*

Very heartfelt tribute here, definitely befitting what must've been a very kind soul indeed.

Oh, he truly was, indeed. We'll all definitely be missing him dearly and greatly. Thanks for the comment and fav. It means a lot to me. *hugs*

very nice and touching.

Thanks, Ripner. *hugs softly* I had to search my heart for the words to say, even when what I feel is far greater than what mere words can describe. Thanks for your concerns *hugs tightly*

Heard alot about him but never met him. A shame to loose one that has touched so many. A great job on the tribute.

Thanks *hugs* He certainly was one in a million.

We had many a good memories at cons of the past, most of which Furp was staff. He did his job greatly, and was a terrific friend for all to boost.

You may want to post this in http://community.livejournal.com/remember_furp. I am sure his parents would be very pleased to see it.

Thank you for the link. I'll post there immediately.

I never knew him but its sad...he is just like me...

Aww, birds of a feather would have certainly flocked well together if you had met him. He's the type of guy that was a good friend to anyone and everyone. Not one single person I ever knew said anything bad about him--everyone had nothing but great things to say about him. You would have really liked him too.

My Friend did...I Love to help people as well.

That's a very good thing to offer. :) Glad to know there are more helpful people out there. :)

I didn't know Furp but it appears he's had a long standing impact in the lives of many furs in the United States! My Heart & Prayers go out to His Family & Friends. Rest in Peace!

Thanks for your comment *hugs* Really means a lot.

I'm sure he was a great person. I've lost MANY friends and "brothers" since joining the Marine Corps...best wishes to his family and friends. I salute you.

Oh he was an incredible person. I just wish that the person who took his life would have thought twice before getting behind the wheel that night. Thanks for the warm comment *hugs*

*Hugs back* It's all good. I know how it feels not once but multiple times...you et numb after a while.

Yeah, it's definitely something that will keep happening to the people we care about, sad to say. Already lost both of my parents recently, plus a few other colleagues and friends along the way. When a loss happens, it's never an easy experience without going through the feeling of emptiness deep inside.

You too would have loved to have met him. If there were ever an ear to lend, he'd lend it. If there were ever a wound to mend, he'd mend it. If there were ever a tear in the house, he was there to listen and to offer his best advice. Furp was more than a furry, more than a friend. He was a true asset to the fandom as a medic, a gentle ear, a word of wisdom, and the light of reason and truth that is needed in everyone's lives. Even in this late hour, I still think of the times Furp spent at fur cons everywhere, and the many friends he's made and the many hands of help he's been. in most cases, people come and go, but only a small few leave as much of an impact when they're truly gone. Based on what he's done and the many times he's offered aid to those in unspeakable pain, Furp is one of those small few and shall always be remembered as such. Although people like him are truly needed down here on Earth, people like that are also needed in the immortal realm of the afterlife as well, and I'm sure that if he hasn't found his peaceful place, he sure found it now. Thanks for your comment. *hugs tight*

what the fuck happened, i've never heard of this guy at all
