Rest in Peace Glenn, prayers for family & friends...you will be missed Glenn!

RIP. A name I recognise over the years.

So sorry to read of this. 59 is far too young.

Seems he hadn't posted a thread etc for over a year. I also remember not to long ago he posted about his Dad having a heart attack, shows how young he was:(. If I remember he was pretty active with SPWAW.

I do think this should be a little reminder to all of us here to be more aware of a regular seeming to suddenly stop posting. So one of us can try and reach out just to show we care.

RIP

My condolences to his family. He will be missed

I remember his posts. He was always polite. Way too young to die. Sad. [:(]

Sorry to hear this... RIP

Sad to hear. I valued his posts as I do many others. I can picture the avatar he used right now, too.

RIP
My thoughts go to his beloved.

RIP KG Erwin. Sad to lose a good guy.

Very sad news. Only 59. [:(]

My condolences to his family. RIP.

Sorry to hear that I am 59. RIP.

Very sad to hear. RIP

From memory he admitted to a drinking problem on the forum. That takes guts.

I was thinking the other day about the Matrix World in Flames forum. That started in about 2004 and, although the game is playable, it's not finished. I've noticed a lot of guys who posted early on, don't anymore. Obviously there are various reasons for that but I wonder how many people have just dropped off the twig? Wargamers are often older folk anyway. About 13 years of development is going to be too long for some [:(] Hopefully Steve's health holds up [:)]

Cheers, Neilster

I'm saddened to hear of his passing. He seemed a decent guy who was always passionate about playing either the Germans or the USMC in SPWAW. I was thinking about him just a few days ago, I figured he found a different hobby to enjoy in his retirement. He'll be missed!

Rest in Peace KG. Your correct,he was very interested in SPWAW and even more so USMC. Prayers for his family.
