I wanted to dedicate this page in the memory
friends and loved ones who have died. I am still working on a memorial
for my mother.
Just
before 7pm on, September 26, 2003, the Sabbath of Rosh Hashana my
mother passed away (within a minute of sundown). Those of you who know
me or her may contact me or my family by email.
I will pass on any well wishes to the rest of the family.
Joe
Porambo, husband of Megan Porambo who is a very dear friend of mine
from work, passed away after battling cancer for the past year on 7/19/01
at the age of 29. He is survived by his wife and two children. I will
rememer the last thing he said to me "stop spamming me with those
jokes."
On
February 10, 2002, my Uncle Lewis Arquette, son of Charlie Weaver
passed away from congestive heart failure. I have listed his biography and credits. I continue to expand on this list.
This
page is also dedicated to a dear friend of mine and my family's
who passed away. Lorenzo Music lost to his battle with cancer on the
morning of 8/4/01. Many of you knew of him from the voices he played:
Carlton the Doorman, Garfield, as well as voices of Tummy from "The
Gummi Bears" and the big lumox 'russian like' guard from "Tail
Spin." He was also a writer with "Rhoda," "Mary
Tyler Moore," and the "Smother's Brothers." He was a
humble and and a comedic writer of rare wit. We will miss him dearly.
On
Thursday while I was at the Con (2002) I ran into an old aquaintance
of mine from the days when I went to the Mystic Moon. It was around
12 years ago when I used to go there for a few classes in the metaphysical,
and even attended some of the high holy day rituals with the local wiccans.
Scott and Judith ran the store and were the High Priest and Priestess
of the Coven (I was the token Jew she used to call me). Well Tim came
to me and informed me that about a week and a half prior Scott and Judith
were camping in the woods (they moved North over 10 years ago). It got
cold and they huddled in their vehicle for warmth. While they slept
a leak in the propane heater asphyxiated them in their sleep. On the
plus side at least I was in town for the Memorial held at lake number
5 at the Santee Lakes Park that Sunday. I have pictures posted from
that memorial service.
Scott
and Judith were a big part of my life when I was growing up, and they
let me into their home and hearts. I will always remember them with
the fondest of memories.
On
November 21, 2002, James E. Barnum passed away at 4:45am from complications
from his long standing illness. Many of you who knew me in the days
of Xanadu BBS and before with LOLA, LISA and even FOrA remember Jim.
Love him or hate him he was a pioneer in the San Diego online community.
In
mid February of 2005, after being with us for nearly 20 years our
family dog Sammy was finally put to rest as he was getting too ill in
his older years to move on. He was a sweet dog, he was a dumb dog, but
he was our dog. He lived a very long life and barked at and licked many
visitors. When my father visits we will spread his ashes over my mother's
grave.
On
July 1st, 2005, Raymond Terry Robinson (though he only went by Terry)
passed away.Terry was a great friend who was always there for anyone
who needed him. He was a geek through and through but he was a good
guy and loved by all. He was the one who would not build a computer
for me but guided me through all the steps on building my machine.
He
used to blame his dice for his bad luck in the games and try and orient
them so they would "charge" correctly. As I have joked to
my friends Terry failed his last saving throw. He will be severely missed
by all.
