[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5297437, member: 6957"] Yes. I still have his character sheets. I still have the miniatures that I was painting for him when he died, I never finished them. Ten years later there are still times when I start talking about the time his martial artist tried taking on a shuggoth in hand to hand to hand combat, took two swings, yelled '[i]what the HELL am I doing?![/i]' and ran like a bunny. In the weeks before he died he was having medical difficulties, and had missed several games. Among my last words to him were 'so what's going to be your excuse for not showing up [i]this[/i] week?' He died the next night. We ended the campaign when he died. It just would not have felt right continuing. His death was avoidable, he did not like the way his anticonvulsants made him feel, and assumed that the doctor had over prescribed, and was taking half the recommended dose. He had a convulsion while face down on his pillow and suffocated. I was left with a mix of sorrow and anger, wishing to hell that he had talked to his doctor about the dosage, rather than adjusting his own dosage without the needed information. I still miss you Charles. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
