I was just trying to think of a way to let the newbits learn a little about Tempus and let some of the older ones remember him. I think it would a good idea if there could be a compilation of some of his posts as a reminder of him. The one post of his that always comes to mind when I think of him is when he was working first aid on the girl that had been beaten and raped while the guy that did it was joking and laughing with the police. I just remember him talking about overhearing them while the girl was bleeding in his arms and he was powerless to do anything about the asswipe that did it. I'll try to find some of his old posts this weekend, but if anyone else has time feel free to take this idea or to improve on it. We miss you Tempus.

Redneck, I had already bookmarked most of his posts. Sadly, some topics were erased. Here are the links to the ones left

I remember reading those threads when the bad news was announced, and crying although I had never even spoken to him, almost because I had never even spoken to him. I guess if people who never met him remember him, then he was very obviously a special person and an example to us all.

Last time I heard anything from his girlfriend, they'd found his equipment and kit, but no body. Granted, no body means no proof he's dead, and it seems a bit odd that they'd leave gear behind and lug away a corpse, but one would assume there'd have been ransom demands if he'd been taken hostage.
All that can be said is that he knew how high the risks were, but he took them anyway. Amazing man, really. |
