I have just heard that 'Chief" known as Ab8aac on Aces high has recently passed away on Saturday 10/23/2021 between 9am and 10am. He has been struggling with health problems for a while now. I was told he went to rest calm and peacefully. RIP Chief... :salute

I met Chief at one of the AH Cons in Grapevine around 2003-2004. He was a police chief of some small Texas town and flew with The Damned, as did myself and buddy, Coach. Anyway, what an insanely funny character he was...along the lines of Ron White.  :grin: Sopping wet, Chief may have weighed about 150 lbs. Saturday evening, Con weekend, we went out to some steak house in Grapevine. Chief put away at least 20 dinner rolls, 2 salads and 2 HUGE T-Bone steaks. The guy could basically eat his weight in food.  :rofl

RIP old friend.  :salute

Thanks for posting this for us Rud3boi,  much appreciated

Like Max and Joker, I had the pleasure of knowing Frank as a squad mate and even more so as a close friend, in which we both helped each other at times and in all the years of playing these games and knowing my many friends, brothers and sisters from these games...Frank is the only one I have ever met in person and spent time with in person..

GODSPEED my friend, my brother!  My condolences to his family!

Frank "Damned Chief/Ab8aac" Williams was a Vietnam veteran (U.S. Army) a law enforcement officer and a truck driver.

He has been a Member of the Damned online gaming group for well over 2 decades.

I met Frank online in the online combat flight sim Air Warrior back in the late 90s and In person at an Awcon (98).

I remember in the early days of Aces High when Frank was still driving truck, if he was on the road during squad night, he would pull into a truck stop, hook up to the wifi with his laptop, and fly with us online.

Frank Passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer on October 23, 2021.


Frank will be missed, always. <S>
