RIP dennilfloss

[MrPickins]

He was an iconic member of these forums, and his presence will certainly be missed. RIP.

More than iconic, downright legendary.

RIP Dennil

Someone should send this thread to his bro's FB account (I don't FB) so that he/the fam will know that people appreciated Denis here too. I would think it would mean a lot to have a couple hundred more condolences.

I'll track it back down if I need to.

I'd love to throw in on a memorial. He deserves something. Can Ottawan see how much it would take to buy a page in the paper? I bet with just enough of us we could chip in and get him something proper.

That's partly why I was staying away but the bro is getting condolences on his FB account.....granted it's in French so I'm trusting google translate.

I second this and no facebook for me either.

I always got the impression that money was tight for him. So perhaps there was no real service for him. Obituaries too, are not cheap. Or, perhaps he was from another part of Canada with more relatives/friends in that area an an obit ran there and the service was there. Imagine if we all kicked in just a buck how many flowers could be sent? But I think that whatever memorial services that were, are now over.

This is sad, his threads were random but I enjoyed most of them. RIP

I will contribute as well.

I was extremely angry at Denis for the longest time for what I felt was his betrayal of our trust and his creepy, extended-troll dishonesty, as was the rest of the mod corps of that time, and for quite some time afterwards.

But . . . in recent years I came to see him as a gentle and highly erudite soul who might just have lived too much in his mind.

I am sad to see him pass.

Anyway, a radio interview with Denil.

I would say that conveys my feelings towards him also. I met up with him twice while visiting Ottawa before the whole NWW thing and he was a charming, very knowledgeable fellow. I am saddened to hear of his passing.

I'd much rather make a donation toward research on whatever it was that caused his death than do any kind of newspaper page. Unfortunately we don't seem to have any info on that.

RIP Denis, much enjoyment and smiles provided by this lurker.

Mine!

Would Dennis mind if I catch a lurker in his memorial thread?

I do. I just never knew him really. I can forward a link to this thread along with a brief message but surely some of the people in this thread who either actually met him or are Facebook friends with him would be better to send it? However, if no one wants to, and people think we should, I will.

You're the best, thanks. Let's see if someone steps up.

I have asked at the place that shall not be named.

Someone on there is connected to his family. Well...a few people on there are.

I love you voxx and respect everyone's thoughts here but I remember what an amazing asshole (by that I should clarify! mostly just condescending) he was to me in my younger years and so I don't feel the compassion that you all do. Just because someone dies, it doesn't make them a hero.

RIP dennil

Truly shows that life is too short. I'll never troll vc&g again...

I'm not sure that makes his death worth it....but I'll take it. Not that I actually post much up there.

 

[Jerem]

Although I am new here, may I be so bold as to suggest he receive a custom title?

He already has one, and an absolutely unique one at that, which references his years long exile from ATF.

Additionally, the mod crew is deep in an active, ongoing discussion re: this.
