I also considered Guy222 a personal friend. I spoke to him here, on FB and on the phone. He was one of the nicest and genuine people I know. All my prayers are with his wife, family and friends.Edit: I haven't seen any details. Guy suffered a mild stroke in early May. I don't know if there's a connection.
Incredibly sad. Whilst I don't believe in God. I wish his family well.
I think Bob fits well with Guys spirit/soul and what he has given us.
I'm absolutely shocked. I knew Guy from another board under another name. In an era where in your face style online communication seems more the norm, he was always so friendly and gentle. It was refreshing to converse with him.
His kindness shall be missed. Condolences to his family and all others who were touched by him. I was glad to have had the experience of talking with him while I could.
I rarely post on this message board and mostly just lurk around especially in the ownage thread when I visit this site. I didn't know Guy well, but it was obvious which posts were his when I was browsing this site. This news actually did bring some tears to my eyes. And despite not having the privileged to meet him in person or converse with him much, my prayers go to him and his family.

Hey I was a sock/troll as well Delph, so you were right, doesn't stop me being human. The death of anyone is always sad and a waste. People get confused between real life and online. Trolling a forum and been annoying, does and should never mean you wish someone harm in real life.
Words on a screen are words on a screen. Truthfully we never know anyone in real life or online. People's real thoughts and motivations will always be their own. As, I said as Ghost111, guy came a cross as a good guy and will be missed on this forum, I can't possibly know what it's like for the people who really knew him and have far more reason to grieve. I know how I feel when I lose someone properly close to me and as such despite not knowing them, my thoughts are with them, no matter how transitory my knowledge of Guy as just a name on a screen is.
