Ghand is gone

Post by chris the cynic »

Sam "Ghandaiah" Shapiro is dead, Yardbomb posted the news on PDX yesterday.

Not everyone from PDX checks PDX anymore, so I thought it was a good idea to say something here.

That said, I don't have much to say. I don't think I ever knew him. I'm pretty sure I joined the forums before he left, but I can't think of any interactions I had with him. I thought Twist was quite good, and I still wonder where it was going. That's not much of a eulogy.

[Added February 5th 2013]

I recently received a message asking me to add the following to the thread:
And so I have.

Can't say I ever knew him, because I didn't. I never followed PDX and only ever found out more about them through The Nameless Mod. I did love reading his articles however.

Paul, I know you said no phone messages, but South Street's going up in smoke. We'll have to meet at the subway station.

A horrible reminder of how fleeting human life can be. One trip. Urg.

Damn, that is saddening. I expected him to die from a suspicious slice of Evil Swiss Cheese. I never knew him, but his articles were well worth reading, and they were hilarious.

Just reading that reminded me there are at least 50 ways for me to die within 10 feet of me.

*Counts*

47 actually.

I can only agree with Jcelios on this. Although many of the current members have never known Ghand personally (including myself), I do hope his spirit lives on through his "Got Ghand" posts and his role in TNM.

I'm sorry to see him go.

Never knew him but obviously knew of him. Awful that this happened, especially like that.
