The Passing of One of Our Own

It is with deep sorrow that I inform you of the passing of one of our former listowners.  We knew them as [redacted], aka [redacted], but they left those names behind years ago when they reinvented themselves.  I had the fortune of meeting them once at DragonCon in the early 2000s, but when they left our company, I lost touch with them.

I ran across them again a few years ago in the Lord of the Rings Online player community under the name Wayward Plane, where we both served as content creators allowed to stream gameplay on the Standing Stone Games official game channel on Twitch.  I still fondly remember casually mentioning the list in the context of some conversation or other and then getting a rather incredulous (and profane) private message identifying themselves.  They had become an integral part of the rocket launch enthusiast scene down in Florida, attending (or simply watching) numerous flights from Kennedy Space Center and being well-known amongst folks such as ULA's Tory Bruno.

While things were not perfect under their tenure as listowner, they did improve their lot and wisdom in the intervening years, and I was glad to have their company online playing a much beloved game together and with friends.  Their passing diminishes both their primary fandoms, and I for one shall miss them.
