leafer Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Since I left DCS some years back I haven't been in touch with him. He and I were friends on FB but I hadn't logged in for years, but this morning I had to cuz I needed some info and saw a post on May 20 that cichilidfan was in hosp with only days left to live. That same day it was announced by his brother that cichilidfan passed away. I never met him and only spoke to him on FB and here a few times but he was a very generous person. He bought a few DCS modules for me some years back and I didn't even asked for them. RIP and fly high. 6 5 ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurgon Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 RIP my friend. Cichlidfan used to be one of the most active users in the English part of the forum. He was always helpful and just seemed like an all around nice dude. He had the foresight to keep an extra Warthog in case one broke down, and if I'm not mistaken he gave away some of his old hardware to people who couldn't afford new hardware at that moment. It's so sad to hear of him passing away. He was a great member of our community, and he will be missed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye60 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I remember his love for his dogs. A great story he told me once, We were chatting about dogs, and how they take over your life. i told him my Shepard would sneak up to the bed early, and we would find her spread out across the entire mattress! LOL! If we kicked her off, by morning, she would be right back between us.... he just laughed! Told me most nights, he would find himself falling off the edge of the bed, with all his dogs pushing against him to stay warm! Instead of pushing them over, He would get OUT of bed, go around to the other side, and get back in! Could not disturb his "Babies" he loved his dogs. And treated them like kings and queens! As it should be! Rest well my friend. I am sure your babies were waiting on your arrival! 5 "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil.
