We'll miss that laugh of his, and the camaraderie. Sad news, indeed. My condolences to his family. :pray :salute

 :salute Wizzy,

I was glad to be apart of that.

You will be very missed Wizzy. Your laughter brought joy to everyone in the game. Getting shot down by Wirbles won't be the same anymore  :salute

Very nice Gentlemen.  I'm sure Wizzy saw it and was pleased.

Curious, why the Dallas Doll P-51D skin?  What is the connection?

First 51 skin I picked no real meaning

Rude this was a Last minute Ideal and an Unofficial Memorial

Wizzy was one of those guys I always enjoyed fighting both with and against.  When I first started tanking in AH, it seemed he could always long-range snipe me and I could never find him.  When playing on his side, he was always a fun guy to be around.

I'm sorry I missed the impromptu memorial for him.  So, while thinking about the things mentioned above today at lunch (and as self-appointed AH poet laureate) I wrote this quick little poem in memory of Wizzy.  Hope you like it:

Tiger on the Hill (For Wizzy)

My tracks squeaking, I roll to the fight
From grove to grove, to keep from sight.
BANG! I’m towered. Who got the kill?!
‘Twas Wizzy’s Tiger on the hill.

Out for vengeance, I circle the spawn.
Ping-Ping! What’s that? My wing is gone?
Oh, Wizzy’s Wirble, another skill
Beyond the Tiger on the hill.

Around the camp, with jokes to tell
And a raspy laugh we knew so well.
Someone quick to make us smile
While sniping tanks beyond a mile.

Fondly remember, we always will
Wizzy and his Tiger on the hill.
Quote from: bozon
For those of us playing this game for well over a decade, Aces High is more of a social club. The game just provides the framework. I keep logging in for the people and Pipz was the kind that you keep coming to meet again.
