Have any of you guys heard anything from or about Onions4U?
I didn't know if this would be ok to post or not, but Onions was a squadmate of ours for years, and Onions suffered a Degenerative Disease known as Charcot Marie Tooth, a rare Neurological Disorder which is apparently terminal.
We've not been able to get in touch with him and we are beginning to fear the worse. He was a great squaddie, and a great friend to all the Pigs for a long time. Probably one of the best guys I've ever had the pleasure to game with.
If anybody has any information at all, we would love to know something as we all miss him terribly. If any of you guys know anything, please drop a line!
twitchy@pigsonthewing.org

Hitech would it possible to look and see if he still has an active account or an alternative email?
His son played from time to time, if he happens to read this I'm officially offering to buy him a month or two of AH.

Damn, hope he is alright
i used to have some great GV battles with him AND against him
he IS a very worthy adversary and comrade in virtual arms so to speak

I remember the day I met Onions, the Pigs were on the Pizza map, about halfway to an enemy base and I looked down and there was this guy named Onions4U driving across the empty desert (he didn't know about spawn points yet). I said damn, anybody willing to drive all that way to get to a target is one dedicated human being. I invited him to the Pigs on the Wing that night and over the next four or so years Onions became one of my best friends, and one of the best GV'ers in the game.
Like I said he had a son that played from time to time, if anybody knows how to get in touch with Onions or his son, I would be glad to buy him a subscription to the game.

I did a seach on the boards and found his old profile.

He lists his home as being in Dallas. While it may not be active, his Yahoo instant message handle was bwwdww2000 back in mid 2005. You may have some luck tracking him down via Yahoo.

Either way, I hope you find your friend.

My regards,

Widewing

I hope he's alright twitchy, I spent many hours GVing with him, He was truly a good GVer and a better person. Seems like at least a year since I've seen him. Keep us posted if you hear from him.

Hey Hitech, Onions4U lived about fifteen minutes down the road from you guys, I don't suppose you guys had heard anything from him or about him?

Hope he's alright, he frustrated me more then once while he was in a GV. Also a great guy to have on your wing.

Twitch.....Onions had been flying / GV'ing with us just before he went missing in action. He had stated his health wasn't too good & that in fact had been getting rather difficult to even play.

That was several months ago.............one moment he was there...........the next we've not been able to make contact at all. We all are hoping the best, but fear the worst.

If anyone finds out his status, please PM Moil or I.........Thanks.
