Derek19 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) What news to hear, see, read, and find out about. A person, who I, and we knew from here. It could come as a shock, too. I'm sorry, and my heart felt condolences, and prayers to his family, and friends. For sure, he'll be missed. R.I.P., Orfie (Gary).

Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 This is terrible! ORFie was a legend on this forum. I can't remember how many times I read one his posts and wondered how he could possibly find so many banana images I'd never seen before. Not to mention he was an avid lover of music. He always seemed to have new albums coming in to listen to and seemed to be enjoying them all. Honestly, I'm not sure there was ever a more positive figure on TRF. I can't believe he's gone. Rest in peace OldRushFan. Though I didn't ever know you in real life, you were a vital part of what has made my time on this forum so special. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderingpixie2112 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I just woke up to this news. I knew ORF from the old Counterparts messageboard circa late 2000s, early 2010s. :( He was a lovely man, always enjoyed his posts. Sadly, I don't believe I ever got the chance to meet him in real life, including any RushCons. This is beyond sad. 2020 can go get bent. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Oh, this is very sad. I kind of thought this may have happened. He was an active member then we heard nothing for so long. He was older and I believe diabetic as well which is a disease that unfortunately can cut a life very short. EP is right about the banana images. I guess there must have been a lot out there on the internet. Whenever he would put one in his posts, I would always joking think to myself "where the heck is he getting these from?" He was a huge music fan. Always had new stuff coming in and was always listening to something. There was even a few times I mentioned a band on here and he checked them out and he ordered their albums right away. If he liked, he didn't waste no time getting. What a music fan he was. He will be missed. RIP Orfie 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 This makes me feel so sad. EP is right, Orfie was a legend here. We graduated from high school the same year and it was cool to know someone that shared the same time milestones. And those bananas! :heart: I loved seeing his model building and the progress he would make on them. His knowledge of obscure 60's rock and 70's TV shows was amazing. Like others on here, he somehow transcended the screen and the electrons to become a dear friend even though we never met in person. I'll really miss him. :rose: 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 G-d f--kking d--nit! I was another migratory animal from the CP board, and enjoyed ORF's choice comments. Rest well, Gary, you will be sorely missed! Of all days to hear this. S--t! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemned2bfree Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 ORFi was so affable and fun, a true gent. I'll miss his model making antics. He gave some great advice for my son. Here's to you Orfie, you helped make this place to be great. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Oh my God, what?! I don't believe it...! I had about three video conversations with him on Messenger, and he was funny and sweet, and we had some laughs. He even spoke with Mr Babycat, and they got on quite well. ORFie was just as funny and sweet in here too. I have tears in my eyes as I write. Rest in peace, ORFie, I'll miss you. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 A sad blow. In his posts he always seemed like really well grounded guy who clearly loved music. He was always interesting to interact with. I can't say I knew him very well from the eight or nine months we overlapped, but from what others have posted, the impressions he left on people were valued. Godspeed sir. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabw Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 The post on his Facebook page didn’t have any details, but guessing from the length of his absence, he must’ve been ill for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
