How many of you remember NUB?
Of those who do (and many who do not), all will remember DeathRage, he was NUB in so many ways. He gave us our shape and attitude. He lent us his fearless love of adventure and fun. He gave us his willingness to die for a good time.
There were other NUB's though who gave us as much character, but in more subtle, and often more inspiring ways. One such NUB, inspite of battling disease, undergoing dialysis, and suffering from exhaustion, always kept a childlike fascination with UO, eager to explore and discover every new nuance, and who always managed to find the mundane exciting and new as well. The one of whom I speak was NUB's inner-child.
Bill (I'm just a Bill [NUB]) has passed away.
His mother sent me the following message:
<blockquote><hr>
I wanted to send this message to all his friends... Bill got very sick Sunday, was in the hospital monday, tues, and wednesday.... I am sorry to have to say this, but he passed away Wed. evening around 7 pm...
Thank you all for being his friend....he loved his computer family....
<hr></blockquote>
I have many fond memories of Bill, and was always impressed with how he never let his condition take away from enjoying UO, or anything else, as far as I could tell. He was a trooper.
I had the privilage of spending a little time with him when he returned to UO recently, and his childlike joy was still present. He was so thrilled with all the new things that SE had introduced. I miss him sorely, now all the more, because he will never again flit into my life to amaze me with his enduring eagerness and joy.
Bill, you are missed.
*To clarify, DeathRage, the former GM of NUB and Stratics Staff member, is alive and well, the last I heard*
