An Unhappy Announcement
As we go into 2017, I have some tragic news to share.
As some of you might have seen on Plurk, on Christmas Eve we very suddenly lost a fellow player and dear friend, Leon (player of Fletch/Peter/Alek).
Although he'd been ill for a couple months, he'd just been released from hospital and was looking forward to getting back to things. He joined TuShan back in March of 2015 with Shay Cormac, and was a joy to interact with both ICly and OOCly, and he was much more than simply a roleplay acquaintance for many. He was always willing to listen and talk with people even about non-RP things, and his upbeat personality and sense of humour will be enormously missed.
I offered a message of deepest condolences to the family, and asked if there was any preferred charity or organization that could be donated to in Leon's name, for those who are interested in doing so. If there's a response, I'll update this post with links and information.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

EDIT 01/03/17: His mum replied and said that since Leon (Dean) drove volunteer for St John's Ambulance, she felt that's where he would want any donations made.
I spoke with both his mum and dad online and they said they didn't know much about his online friends but were interested in learning. I thought maybe we could each write something small about how we knew him and what sort of things we'll remember him for, etc. They gave me their email and I've screened the comments for this post, so if you want to write a letter etc here, I'll group them all together and forward them this weekend.

My deepest sympathies to all who knew him better than I.
