R.I.P. Scout26
I am very sad to report that Furp has been killed in a motorcycle accident. Furp was a friend and Anthrocon staff member; many may remember him as the man with the medical bag who was the first one we called when we had any urgent health issues.His boss told me the following:Last night, Patrick (Furp) was riding his motorcycle near the 29 Palms Marine Corps Base (California) where he works. He was struck by a drunk driver, and died. The driver, a Marine, is currently in custody.
I was always pleasant, friendly and within arm's reach of a gun.
If government is the answer, it must have been a really, really, really stupid question.
