Some people may be wondering why they see no post from me. I have tried, but nothing seems worthy or lacks a certain something. I cannot put into words the fun we have had, the disscusions over how to improve the squad, making orders for scenarios or FSO. He always put the game and the squad first. He was an inspiration to us all. So I post and delete, post and delete, post and delete.

I miss him and always will

falcon, anything you have to say about your lost friend is worthy and valid.


do not trouble yourself to find the exact words for this situation, because there are none that can do the moment any justice. thought and feeling, companionship and love can never be fully expressed in mere words.


anything and everything you have to say will be considered a loving tribute to a man you hold dear to your hearts.


chin up 68th, you guys deserve some peace when this tragic event has been finalised, untill then do not worry yourselves to say the right or wrong things.


S! KO

Falcon,
You know how much JG 44 enjoyed being involved with the 68th lightning lancers, whether it be missions, FSO or just hanging with you guys. Our two squads were involved in many things together,That was becuase of 68KO. I personally will miss him. I know that you Falcon will keep his legacy alive and keep his tradition of team spirit alive. KO was an outstanding contributor to this Cyber world we all call home. His loss I know has had a significant impact on the JG 44 Nighthawks. God bless his soul.........
JG 44 will always keep a slot open for 68 KO and he will fly with us in spirit until the end. God Bless him, his family and his squad.......!

Well said one and all

[Slash27]

I didnt know KO nearly as well as many here. I was fortunate enough to be able to interact with him on some AvA things and even got to speak with him on the phone a few times. After getting to know him by those few encounters the news of his passing hit me like a truck.  Thats what kind of immpression I was left with by KO. You just knew off the bat he was a hell of a good guy.I dont think people outside our community would be able to understand these feelings about someone we never "met". Falcon, I wouldnt imagine trying to put myself in your position or any member of the 68th right now. One things for sure, this a better because 68KO was here.

Exactly right Slash.

Falcon, words fail me too. I find myself slipping into cliche which doesn't say anything close to what I'm feeling or what I think. I didn't know Bill very well, only talked to him on the phone a few times and had some minor dealings with him on events here in Aces High, but he made an impact on me. I miss him too.

What Batfink said.

Could not have said it better sir.

I was on the receiving end when my Daughter passed away at the age of 3 yrs 362 days old.

I remember several freinds sayin "I dont know what to say".

I responded, "You dont need to say anything, you being here is saying it all" and i would thank them for careing.

Those words alone were a great comfort because i knew they wanted what ever they said to be perfect and comforting to me and my Wife.

There are no perfect words...but all words and even simple expressions are felt as great comfort to those who have lost someone very dear to them.

S! KO
 and thanks Batfink for putting into words what some of us can't

My feelings excatly. I have been at a loss for the words, but those are just about perfect as far as my personal interactions with KO. Like Slash said, if you talked to KO 1on1, you knew right away that he was one helluva guy. It also hit me like a truck. I miss him already, and probably will never stop.

Falcon, if there is anything I can do for you, just yell and I'll do my best.

~S~ KO

[rshubert]

Falcon, he will be missed.

[Yeager]

I certainly hope you guys in the 68th carry on.  Sounds like a great squad

[RedTop]

We in the 71st wish you all the very best Falcon.

I flew with KO many times. Talked about alot and he was a friend in the game. Although I didn't have the interaction you guys in the 68th did , I know I speak for many here when I say We'll miss him. He brought alot to the game and to many people here a smile and a kind word. His loss to Aces High and everyone here will be felt by all.

Take joy in knowing you had time with him and got to know him as well as you did. Any words you may find will be recieved here with all the respect they deserve.

You guys keep your chins up. Keep your KO in your hearts and forever he will be a part of your lives. Thats all you can do now.

We <> you all and pray for the family of KO.

Thanks for all that you have done to let us know what is going on.

[Sethm35]

<>  to all the 68th's, I barely knew him too, but he was a good feller, and will be missed. my and my familys condolence's go out to KO and his family and loved ones.  <<>>  and best wishes
