To T ThumpsSon Thank-you so much for taking time out of your other priorities to inform us of this terrible news. My sincerest condolences to you and your family and to the friends who new him.

This is a great loss to the forum. Thump's contributions were thought-provoking, respectful, and always worth a read. I will miss him.

He was like a one man rhythm section here

Sorry for your loss. Your father came off as a fundamentally decent person, never losing his cool or resorting to snide remarks, not something easy to do when interacting with strangers on the internet. I'm sorry I never knew him in real life.

Et lux perpetua luceat ei.
Requiescat in pace

I agree with everything previous said, I am both saddened and shocked by this, thank you for taking the time to notify us, and my deepest condolences for you loss.
I will miss his posts, and my occasional good-natured banter about our musical likes and dislikes.

 

[tomo pauk]

This is a rough surprise.
Rest in peace, condolences to the family.

 

[Airframes]

Heck, I'm totally shocked and stunned !
Thank you for informing us and deepest condolences to you and the family.

i always looked up to him and his service whenever I felt lost.

From what I understand, he fell and hit his head on a table. I wish I could say more but I'm stationed somewhat far away and have been coordinating this stuff over the phone. The investigators said it looked accidental.

We'd sit on the porch, crack beers, and talk about WW2 history, including the technology, for hours. I didn't really know how popular he was here until he sent me a thread he posted regarding his museum trips; coming back across that thread, I figured I should post something. I know I always saw him watching Drachinifel and a couple other dudes of the same caliber on his laptop though.

Anyways, thanks. Didn't want yall to think he was ditching ya. I know he had a couple of buddies on here (don't know who their names are tbh), I'll post any serious updates if they come up.


EDIT: I'm sorry for the double-post. The last forum I posted on was a vbulletin forum back in 2014 so I'm a bit iffy on formatting and how this specific spot works. Hope y'all understand

Please do keep us updated. Hope the Corps will let you home so you can say farewell and be able to sort stuff in-person rather than over the phone.

Hang in there. Shout if there's anything we can do to help...unlikely, I know, but there's a lot of collective experience among the old farts here. We're like State Farm...so shout if there's anything we can do or questions/problems we might be able to help with.

Very sorry to read this. He always provided great rationale posts. RIP

Its surreal how you get to know people on good message boards like this one.

 

[Gnomey]

Very sad news indeed. My condolences to you all.

 

[Escuadrilla Azul]

T ThumpsSon Condolences to you and yours family.

Darrell was such a great guy. He was very proud of you.

If he will be so much missed here, I can't imagine the great loss it will be for all of your family.

 

[Hoggardhigh]

At least this wasn't as drawn-out as what went down here...right?

 

[Viking1066]

Man. This hurts my heart. He was always kind and I loved his posts. I enjoyed hearing about his music and how proud he was of you. I am shocked beyond words. God bless you and the family. Thank you for your service.
