"APSKIP" --TAR Detective remembered

<< < (5/12) > >>

Neobie:
Apskip really took me under his wing; when he learnt I was entering the aviation business, he took care to train me in his best way possible!

RFF has lost a good friend and a great detective; may you rest in peace!

--- Quote from: Plaidmoon on June 15, 2013, 06:36:59 AM ---I'm absolutely shocked and stunned. In my time here, he was always among the best contributors around here. His passing will leave a huge hole in RFF.

My deepest condolences go out to Apskip's family.

Rest in peace, Arthur.

Let me just second, or third, what Plaidmoon said. He contributed mightily to the sleuthing we do here, and he had his resources to bring to the table. Speaking for myself, and the schnauzers who have been with me since TAR began to air a dozen years ago, he will be missed, and our condolences to his family and friends both in real life and online.

Hooky:
Wow, this is sad to hear! My condolences to his family and friends.

Apskip was one of the first members I met here at RFF. He regularly took the time out to make a correction when anyone incorrectly stated a fact, and I feel like he remembered everything he had ever read or watched about The Amazing Race. Frequently he would PM me and inform me when I was making an error or when I had a poorly reasoned argument. I admit that I did not usually appreciate this correction, but in hindsight I realize that this was a demonstration of a sincere commitment to factual accuracy. And it was something I needed anyway, given the fact that when I first joined RFF I was rather immature.

I remember when I first read Circumnavigating the Globe. As I read, I recognized the writing style. Soon I concluded that the author could only be apskip! As a result, it is neat to have my intimations confirmed, and to learn more about the man behind the name. It makes me wonder who else joins us here in the relative anonymity of the Internet.

All in all, because of this we are reminded anew that everyone we meet online is a real person, and that it is important to treat everyone with respect.

May you rest in peace, and not miss TAR Detecting as much as everyone here will miss you!

The Plan of Happiness

Xarles:
Let us comfort his family and give back a little of the good times we got from him. For those who believe, let us pray for his family and may he rest in peace. It is absolutely a gigantic loss. From my lurking times, to my years here, he was always such a familiar regular around. May someone let his family know how well he was appreciated by delivering all these messages. He left a footprint the world over, as if he had always raced. There will always be someone in Mexico remembering him. All my love.

P.S. Apskip: If you can read this, please send us a heavenly signal on season #23's whereabouts. We already miss you and need you!
