    Unhappy Sad news.....

    Hi everyone,

    I'm sorry to announce with great sadness that our old friend, Jody "JTDawg" Troiber, passed away earlier today. As many of you know, JT suffered a severe heart attack a year ago almost to the day. Although we all hoped that he would recover and join us once again over the virtual Cliffs of Dover, it was not to be. Here is the note that JT's wife, Brenda, sent me a few minutes ago:

    Very sad to hear this news.

    My condolences to his family and friends.

    "Dawg" was one of the guys who first stepped forward to do the playtesting for TF 3.0, when we were unknowns.

    He deserves everyone's thanks for the work he did then.

    He was a unique member of this community... everyone knew who he was and recognized his distinct voice and good humour instantly he came on Teamspeak.

    He will be missed.

    Happy flying Dawg, we know you are up there in the wild blue, lining up another desperate hun.

    This breaks my heart, i knew this man well and he was a good man. Thanks to Snapper i was able to acquire his real address and had been mailing him since his initial heart attack. God-bless him and his family, he surely will be missed by all who met him. 21guns fire away.

    My thought go out to his family.

    Rest in peace JT Dawg.

    I didn't know the man, but I remember distinctly when it was posted that he had a heart attack. I read through his posts from before then and found lots of useful advice. He seemed a very jolly person too.

    It's always a tragedy when people die relatively young like this. It makes you remember how incredibly fragile our existence is.

    Rest in Peace.

    As a johnny come lately I never knew him, but the respect and friendship he had on here is readily apparent. A sad time for all his family and friends.
    At a forum level I think this is apropos:
