It’s hard to believe that it’s already been one year since we lost LC EFA, known to his friends and family as Eric Faine. There hasn’t been a day that’s passed that we, here in the Imperial Dungeon Game Room, haven’t thought about him. The ‘Nets just aren’t the same without his incredible sense of humour, joy for life and his amazing insight-beyond-his-young-years. Even after the passing of a year’s time, the stinging realization that we will never meet again on this existential plane is difficult to accept. Eric, my brother from another mother, you are, and will always be, sorely missed. Tonight I will lift a drink in your honor and say, “I love you, man.” (Not in THAT way. NTTAWWT.) 😉
Cheers, mate.
PS: My apologies for not writing a longer tribute, but the damned pollen in the air is making it too difficult to see the screen to keep typing.
Yeah, I never got to meet him in person, but the dude was just as kick-ass as a dude can be. I was supposed to go to Australia and get drunk with him… Oh, well, when I get to Valhalla, I will.
RIP, mate, see you on the other side if such exists.
I missed him so much too BC, even that we never got to meet in meat world., He always was on when I needed to hear a good word, or sometimes a good boot in the ass when that was needed, what means it does than a BROTHER even if we were aren’t with same parents..
one of the cornerstones here……
did anyone ever hear what happened to EFA?
hilljohnny, the coroner finally came back with “idiopathic cardiomyopathy” as the official cause.
So the answer was “we don’t know why” cause tthat’s what the prefix idio means in the med world. I raise a glass to his memory and to all of our brethren that have been called.
I planned on seeing him…every time I did, a shit sandwich landed on my doorstep.
Now I’ll never go hunting with him 🙁
RIP mate…
RIP, brother.
It’s been a year already?
Damn, I miss him, and I am most definitely hoping he keeps a spot at the table for me.
Beth learned EFA just about ten days before that she learned she had cancer..in fact she learned on her 50th birthday on 21st March… Maybe they could having fun on the higher plane and I’m sure that EFA would keep her safe untill I can get there too, and then I hope we can have a really good Rott party… Read more »
um gefallene Kameraden
Chosen because I know as a Scotsman he would laugh at it. No day goes by my brother that I don’t think of you.
Forgive me for coming in late on this thread. It took me a while to come to terms. I’m still working on that. Why it was just yesterday I talked to EFA, he was happy about placing in a rifle match. We talked about bullets, and loads, and that rifle-crank shite. Then he was…..gone. I cried like a baby. My… Read more »
Und, zu aufwiedersehen sagen, mein Bruder.
“Ich hatte einen Komeraden”
I miss him very much. Few were more fun or satisfying to share the stoooooooooooooopid of the day with. Tremendous irreverence and a great appetite for the absurd there are very few like him out there. At any time. What a great fixture on the nets too he was too – if you kept strange hours or couldn’t sleep you… Read more »
Still miss you….
Mope, I’ll never forget the late night when EFA explained the meaning of the term “boong bar” to me. He’d mentioned that he’d just installed a brand new, more robust one on his badass 4X4 bush truck and I was a bit puzzled and asked him why the fuck they called it a “boong bar” . He calmly explained “Oh,… Read more »
Damn, i have not logged in in a LOOOOOONG time, mainly because i forgot which password went with which username. In any case, i had to get on to express sorrow at losing EFA… Really liked out interactions over the years, though i’ve been away fro here for a while (you might remember CA has no statewide R pols anymore,… Read more »
