Some of you know me from various gaming sessions with my best friend Kevin Speichts, aka POSITIVE G.

I know +G was VERY active on this site and so I am taking the time to pass on the terrible news to all of you.

Kevin was walking to his car after work when he collapsed from heart failure. A retired firefighter found him and started CPR but we were not sure how long his brain was without oxygen. We found out a couple of days later. Kevin had passed on. He was only 43.

He leaves a wonderful wife and a young son. An obituary will be in tomorrow's (Tuesday, Sept 1) Halifax Chronicle Herald. Services are Friday afternoon.

If you have a message that you would like delivered to his family, by all means send it to me at jimdorey (at) gmail (dot) com. I will ensure it gets to them.

He loved simulations as you know. He was a heck of a guy and the brother I never had. Godspeed Kevin.

That is just too sad for me to make any meaningful comment. He was one of the good ones. I'll miss his posts here.

Thanks for letting us know.

Email is on the way Space. I am both horrified and shocked by this.

No words...

Just to avoid confusion, was he posting as +G or POSITIVE G? We have two active posters with those names, and both are cool guys.

This are horrible news.

Terrible news. A man who was well respected here. Condolences to his family.

...

Really taken aback by this. I was just online with him a week ago chatting about the fact that my wife and I spent our honeymoon out in Halifax and surrounding area.

I hope his family finds the strength to handle this loss.

I suspect he was both.

My feelings exactly.

I am so sorry to hear this!
I have played online with +G for years.
I am stunned. I will pray for his family...

This is very sad news. Quite a few of us here have spent alot of time gaming with him over the past few years. He will be sorely missed.
