All, from his son on FB:

"All, I am sorry to say that DR7 didn’t make it.  He fought hard just like he did in the game.  I shared with him the comments from my previous FB post, the AH bulletin board and some of the comments from the recent AH live stream in his last couple of days and he loved the comments and replied “thanks so much my friends”.   The game and the camaraderie meant a lot to him and helped him get through some precious rough times.   

The last full day I got to spend with Dad (a couple weeks ago before he got sick) I asked him to show me his game.  He took a spit up, got a kill and landed it and then did the same with a tank.  RIP DR7.  Salute."

I just logged in after a few days away and heard that dr7 passed away from covid 19. He was a good friend since the first day we did the beta on AH and I'm still in disbelief. He lost his wife and a son and AH helped him keep it together. A true gentleman, you will be missed and a legend in this Game. <S> dr7

Until later my good friend, may GOD continue to bless your soul.

It is nuts that you never know when the last time you speak to someone it will be the actual last time.... we were having a blast the other day just shooting the breeze... a few good laughs... the kicker to this conversation was that he had just found out he needed to go into self isolation due to being a close contact.....for a second time.... We are all just so blase about it sometimes...

Dunno about you guys, but DR7 was one of those guys I either loved to fight alongside or against. He was always fun, I don't get a lot of game time much at the moment, but when I wanted to GV I always looked for "where is DR7!". For me there will be an significant part of AH missing now.

I remember this one time about 10 to 15 of us made a run on a base in tanks. first 1 got killed and said it was dr7 in a tiger. at least 5 of us made a u turn and tried to find a place to land safely. we were laughing the whole time.  :salute

Years ago Lusche was running numbers and came to the conclusion that DR7 was the first AH player to hit 200,000 kills. So I made this for him and posted it here back in Jan 2011.


(https://i.postimg.cc/W3S8Kdvh/DR7trophy.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)


So to day while thinking about DR7 and all the years of running into him in the game ( as Im sure many of us were) I was curious to see what his totals are now, and so ran the numbers tonight. Below is his top 10, with the total kills/death at the bottom.

(https://i.postimg.cc/B6X5Y4q0/DR7-top-10.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)

He was a great competitor, but more importantly a fun player. While he did rack up tons of kills in the game I have a hard time remembering any one ever being mad at him or calling him a cheat. He was fun to fight against as well as along side.

He will be greatly missed as one of the very best this game has ever, or will ever see.  :salute

I love reading all these post about my father (DR7).  The last full day I spent with my Dad was about 2 weeks ago (between his two Covid quarantines).  I asked him to show me his game as I had never really took the time to watch him play in detail.  He took up a Spit and shot somebody down, returned to base and then took out a tank and did the same.  It was a great time watching him do what he loves and hearing him talk to some of the other players over the vox.  I finally got a good understanding of why he played as much as he did.  You guys were his second family. Yeah, he enjoyed racking up the kills but I think he enjoyed the camaraderie even more.  It helped him through some pretty tough times.

PS  He belly flopped the landing of the Spit without using any landing gear because it was quicker/easier and you don’t get any less points for landing that way.  He was pretty adamant that you should get more points for a safe landing than landing a damaged aircraft.  Maybe a rule change can be made for that in the future?
