My fiance psik0tik

[RTSDaddy2]

I'm in shock....I couldn't believe it when  I read that on the front page just now.   

My wife and I will certainly be praying for you.  I wish I knew what else to say, but honestly I'm just at a loss for words. 

[Red]

My condolences on your loss.

[Demon-Seed]

Sorry for your loss

[Santoro]

I'm so very sorry for your loss.   I'm at a loss for words..

Hang in there.

I've never read something so sad and so brave at the same time. Hang in there, you have my condolences and will be in our prayers.

[tonmazz]

I'm very sorry, I have not been here in a while and it is sad to come back to something like this.  He seemed like a unique soul and a brave person in his last hours.  Cherish the time you had as we all will hug our loved ones a little tighter tonight.

I am truly sorry for your loss.  His projects were definately an inspiration.  We are fortunate that he directed you here to share the news.

It is worth noting that although Eric had a moment to express where his final words should be heard, most of us will not be so lucky.  If any of us passes away suddenly, do our next of kin know where and how to log in to notfy the various communities we are part of?  I know mine doesn't.  Time for me to fix that.

When I read the front page, I thought it was a joke or an error. The guy who was willing to risk sleeping in the proverbial dog house over a a car is gone?!

My vocabulary is far too small to properly express my sadness and disappointment that a man with such a unique scope on his arcade projects is no longer with us.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I don't think I've ever crossed posting paths with him, but nonetheless it's a horrible tragedy & my prayers are with you and your families. God Bless.

[TheBrokentoken]

I know it's been said numerous times before me, but I can only offer my condolences during this time.  I did not know Eric, but I have a lot of respect for his perspective on life and his willingness to lay everything out to us forum members as he did.  Total props to him and I trust that our Maker has him close.

[quarterback]

Wow....  I'm so sorry.  I hope you and his family are doing okay.   My heart goes out to you all. 

[WunderCade]

God bless you and your family in this difficult time. Please know that he was greatly appreciated around here and will be missed. Our thoughts are with you and the family.

[urbecrisch]

Never met Eric but by the sound of it he was admired and respected by the BYOAC community.  My condolence!

[Jerry Seinfeld]

Sorry to hear this.

I've been away from the site for a while, so seeing this comes as a shock to me. At first it didn't quite sink in, but now it's starting to feel more real after I've read over the entire thread. This is very sad news, and I'll miss seeing Eric's posts on the forum when I pop in from time to time. He personally helped me out more than once, and we had some nice exchanges.

I'll be up in Alaska in August and I'm sure my thoughts will be with you guys, just as they are now.

[psik0tik]

I'm sorry for not keeping up with you guys like I said I would. I lost the password to his account and had to dig through a lot of notebooks to find it.

I'd like to say that things are going well but "big oil" as he put it hasn't been so giving. They are making up reasons and stalling the fact that they have to pay.

Meanwhile I'm swamped in bills left behind. Here's an interesting story, Bank of america stills has him listed as being alive and since we have a loan through them they hadn't received payment in awhile. When I talked to them previously they had told me that it was ok that insurance and other factors had taken care of it. So I get a letter in the mail stating that our home we own in Florida now has a lien placed upon it and we have to pay the remainder of the bill which for privacy sake I'll give you a number of 2000.

OK when we got the loan it was for 500 but since it has been sitting there collecting late fees and back payment it went up over 150%. Now if told you the real number you'd have a heart attack. Now I need to sell the house but guess what they put a lien on it. And I had been reading about how hard it is to sell your home right now but that is a different story

So now since bank of america thinks he is still alive I have to go and deposit money in his account like I was a family or friend. I don't get how this whole system works. So until big oil pays I'm just screwed. Otehr than that I love Alaska and I get to be close to him. I was offered a job by his company and they got a big finger and a no thank you. It's freezing here and I have to plug my car in but the scenery is amazing and the people are wonderful. I don't see myself ever leaving.

And here's for the biggest news. 3 weeks after his death I found out something amazing that when I think about it makes me cry to this day. I am pregnant!!!!!! I have a little psik0tik growing inside me. It will be a boy and I have saved as much arcade stuff as I possibly could. I have boxes and boxes of nintendo, sega, Arcade pictures and posters and I plan on turning the nursery into a sort of arcade theme. I will send you guys pictures when I get the room set up. If you guys have any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

Also the half car was sold last week, someone out there is going to finish it and hopefully they post you guys some pictures on here.   You guys are the sweetest and nicest I know and I will keep posting here from time to time now that I have the password again. Thanks you guys!

Congratulations!  Please keep us posted!

As for BOA thinking he's still alive, you'll have to submit his death certificate to them to get that straightened out.  You may want to consult with a CPA and/or an attorney on the other stuff.  It'll cost a little, but it'll save you many headaches.

[AtomSmasher]

Thats horrible that BofA and the oil company are giving you problems, but thats great news that you are pregnant.  Congratulations.

[missioncontrol]

congrats on the little psik0tik on the way. Still sad for your loss though...

sorry to hear of your troubles with BOA and big oil....
