Just learned that KG Erwin (Glenn Higginbotham), a long time member of this forum, passed away 03March2017. He was a big time wargamer and baseball lover that used to post here quite a bit. God Bless and Good Journey, Glenn. www.wvgazettemail.com/obituaries/20170308/glenn-higginbotham

RIP. A name I recognise over the years.

Alan Sharif -> RE: KG Erwin Passed Away Last Month (4/18/2017 9:11:13 PM)
So sorry to read of this. 59 is far too young.

wodin -> RE: KG Erwin Passed Away Last Month (4/18/2017 9:23:20 PM)
Seems he hadn't posted a thread etc for over a year. I also remember not to long ago he posted about his Dad having a heart attack, shows how young he was:(. If I remember he was pretty active with SPWAW. I do think this should be a little reminder to all of us here to be more aware of a regular seeming to suddenly stop posting. So one of us can try and reach out just to show we care.

Sad to hear. I valued his posts as I do many others. I can picture the avatar he used right now, too.

From memory he admitted to a drinking problem on the forum. That takes guts. I was thinking the other day about the Matrix World in Flames forum. That started in about 2004 and, although the game is playable, it's not finished. I've noticed a lot of guys who posted early on, don't anymore. Obviously there are various reasons for that but I wonder how many people have just dropped off the twig? Wargamers are often older folk anyway. About 13 years of development is going to be too long for some [:(] Hopefully Steve's health holds up [:)] Cheers, Neilster

OldSarge -> RE: KG Erwin Passed Away Last Month (4/19/2017 2:22:30 AM)
I'm saddened to hear of his passing. He seemed a decent guy who was always passionate about playing either the Germans or the USMC in SPWAW. I was thinking about him just a few days ago, I figured he found a different hobby to enjoy in his retirement. He'll be missed!

Titanwarrior89 -> RE: KG Erwin Passed Away Last Month (4/19/2017 2:30:52 AM)
Rest in Peace KG. Your correct,he was very interested in SPWAW and even more so USMC. Prayers for his family.

Sad news indeed. RIP.

RIP, mate.

Greybriar -> RE: KG Erwin Passed Away Last Month (4/19/2017 1:45:32 PM)
Rest in peace, Glenn. You will be missed. [:(] I found his obituary in the Charleston Gazette-Mail. There is also a Find a Grave memorial for him.

Poopyhead -> RE: KG Erwin Passed Away Last Month (4/19/2017 3:51:52 PM)
I fondly remember "Gunny" in the SPWAW forum. He was pursuing the long campaign with the U.S. Marines. I always enjoyed his posts. I did a sort of AAR with a character in it called Gunny. I recall that he liked it very much. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Every day is a gift, that's why they call it the present.

wodin -> RE: KG Erwin Passed Away Last Month (4/19/2017 3:59:59 PM)
Seems he had a long illness. I hope he knew people here cared for him and would have been on hand to listen:)

That's one thing I remember him the most for - wanting a USMC campaign in every game. That and his love for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was a big Baseball Sim guy. I discussed Puresim Baseball with him many times and he used to post AARs on his beloved Dodgers team he managed. BTW, I still agree with him. We need more USMC scenarios and campaigns. [&o]
