In Memoriam: Mr. Laser Beam

[DonIago]

I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. I can't recall having had any specific interactions with him, but I definitely remember seeing his name around here. My kindest condolences to his family and friends.

Whatever happened must have been very sudden. I'm looking at his posting history and he posted here the day before he passed, and the day before that relating a story from work.

Yeah, I noticed that. The last time I heard from him wasn't long before that, and he was fine, talking about plans for the future.

That's really sad news. He always seemed like a good guy. RIP

 

[TheSeeker]

Damn. He seemed like a fixture here. Always sad to lose a member this way. RIP MLB.

 

[TribbleFeeder]

Rest in peace. Such sad news.

 

[Jayson1]

Rest in Peace. Best wishes to his family and friends.

Aw, man. I didn't talk to him much, but I remember seeing him in some threads talking about sports, or weird stuff that happened at work. Sad to see him go and hope his family is doing OK.

 

[Hofner]

This is very, very sad news.

I never interacted with MLB much but I always enjoyed his posts and found them interesting to read through so many years. He was a part of our TrekBBS community for such a long time, he definitely leaves a big hole.

I was always amused by his location, "In the visitor's bullpen".

Thanks for letting us know @Tora Ziyal.

This is very, very sad news.

All my interactions on the board and in private messages showed he was a good guy.

He will be missed greatly by many.

Rest in peace, sir.

RIP. I loved seeing his baseball posts and how passionate he was.

 

[ThankQ]

I was shocked to learn a few days ago that he died back on April 14. I don't know any details.

I just looked and he was posting like normal up to April 13, suggesting it was sudden and unexpected

EDIT
Just saw TT's post. I hadn't gotten to page 3 yet

I was very sad to hear about this. He seemed like a nice guy. I know he didn't live close to it (I believe he was from Nebraska?) but he really loved NYC, and both the Yankees and Mets (and obviously just baseball in general). I know he was a huge Liverpool FC fan, too.

Rest in peace, sir. You'll never walk alone.

RIP Mr. Laser Beam.

You can find his posts here.

 

[SithHappens]

I too have been wondering where his posts where, he was regularly posting about supporting Liverpool and also his travels.

I know he intended to visit the UK and take a Liverpool game in. Hope he managed it.

RIP Buddy

 

[fireproof78]

Rest in peace. That is very sudden and tragic.

 

[Random_Spock]

Well shit.

I never interacted with him much, if ever, but he was one of those names you always saw around, like a reliable ol' regular at a bar. Figured he'd be part of the place forever. RIP.

Exactly. I remember seeing him around the boards. Just so sad. May he RIP.

How did I manage to forget Liverpool?!

 

[Gryffindorian]

He was a long-time member of this BBS, and I've read many of his posts. I'm stunned and saddened by the news of his passing.

 

[Pondwater]

I’m very saddened to hear about this.
RIP MLB.
