My Old Friend Cougher Passes Away
« on: February 24, 2009, 10:27:22 AM »
For those of you that had the privilege of knowing and playing with Cougher. I was told that he has passed away last week from his illness. I believe he was struggling with mesaphilonmia for a number of years and as of late was in and out of the hospital. When I seen him on I would pm him to say hi, see how he was doing and told him he was in my prayers daily. I always told him that we would finally get the chance to meet face to face when this world for the both of us was over.

Cougher had to be one of the nicest, kindest man I have met anywhere. He mainly stuck to EW and was always GVing it. When my squad was playing EW exclusively we would always join forces. I had many of fun nights playing along side of him. I will miss him  :salute

I never knew him, but prayers sent and RIP. <S>
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Sorry to hear that Big.  Cougher was a great man to fly with when I was in the EW arena. 

To those that didn't know Cougher, he seemed to always be in a good mood.  He was fun to gv with or to take up a plane and wing with him.  I will always remember the times I had been on in the early mornings when Cougher and I would try and stop some milkrunners from taking all the knight gv bases.  In those early days when I was still learning this game, I flew with many pilots of the Hired Guns.  I learned from them and looked forward to seeing them on line.  Cougher, (along with others) were some of my first wing-mates.

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to his family and friends.
God Bless you Cougher and thanks for being my wing-mate.

 I don't remember your name from back in those days, maybe it was different back then but I do remember a couple of years ago I had to put down the best dog I have ever had . She was almost 13 then and in great shape until one day she just couldn't stand up. After about 4 days and a couple of trips to the vet I was given no hope and the awful decision that had to be made. Cougher asked me one night when just the both of us defending against the soars what was wrong.I told him about my dog. The poor guy started crying and telling me how sorry he was to hear about my dog and how he once had a dog that he loved which he also had to make the same decision.

i was 21 when we had to put our shepard down. same as you described. she was fine.....playful, happy and all. then one day, she couldn't stand up.

 that was one of the hardest descisions i've ever made....and i balled like a baby too.
