I didn't know Kevin all that well as a personality on SimHQ, but he sent me some EF2000 stuff including some C code from an add-on he had worked on.
Thanks again man...and RIP.

Another poster I often think about is Destructus. He posted this song that I'd never heard before on one of my '80s music threads and it'll always be at the top of my motivational set-lists...

Man, what a nice guy Pos G was. Always willing to go out of his way to help and a great sport and team player. Had hours of enjoyment playing Joint Operations with him.
He is missed.

Very sad still but I'm grateful to be a apart of an online community that when at its best, conducts itself honorably and like a big family. That's rare in internet land. I didn't know Positive G as well as some of you all but when our paths crossed it was always pleasant and he was very helpful. I found the very first post that I could find with an interaction with Positive G back when I joined SimHQ and started asking questions. I was nervous asking questions and asked for my ignorance to be forgiven. This is his PSS message he posted to me.

He seemed very quick to be kind and helpful unlike those others we often run into when navigating the internet. RIP sir and I pray his family is doing okay.

What a great guy and a great loss to us all here. I hope his family is well.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Positive G was a great guy and I still remember very well the last ArmA session that he played with us before he passed away.
RIP.

It's good to be remembered, that's one of the biggest fears about death. I don't think I interacted with him, but I do know he was very well liked here and that's good enough for me. I'm sure there are others that have passed that we don't know about too, so I'm glad the ones we do know of aren't forgotten. How about a virtual toast in his honor and for the "unknown soldiers".
