Posted by R30A on Fri Apr 6 15:54:12 2007, in response to Re: Some bad news (Re: Surgery III), posted by R4 Bryn Mawr LCL/R5 Paoli EXP on Fri Apr 6 12:44:01 2007. When I first read the post, I was simply shocked—Dante has been around for many years, over which myself and others got to appreciate him as the most integral peripheral person to ever exist. While he would never force himself out into the center of attention, everyone around would know of his presence for he would add a degree of spontaneity to any situation which in his mind was getting too boring. Be it a hilarious well placed observation or a simple bikeyorph, Dante could always liven up the group dynamic. Dante’s full presence could never fully be understood from a message board.I know for many us younger railfans(at least for me) this is the first loss of a friend in our own generation. While all death is tragic, there is something about the loss of someone so young, as they should have had so much more time to live and experience life. Most importantly, To his family, I must say this—The loss I am feeling is tremendous, as I know it is for all those who have met Dante. It is impossible to even think of how awful this is for you guys. Wherever you are now old friend, I hope you enjoy it. --Lincoln McMahon Ps: Please do not feel any guilt for posting under his handle—I cannot imagine Dante would want his friends left in the dark about his condition. |
