One of our members has gone missing. Percival had not posted in sixteen days, so I went looking. We were from the same hometown, Joliet, Illinois, so we had exchanged information long ago. It turned out he had gone through school with my eldest brother. Knowing his name, I went searching to see if I could find anything. Unfortunately, I did.

God bless, Sir Percy. The hole you leave is shaped like a knight. We already miss you.

Gee this seems a bit unfair, to pass in one's middle sixties. Arahant did you know he was in a battle with cancer? He never mentioned anything that I can recall in all the years of his PIT presence.
Lord take into to your heart and RIP for our Dear friend Percy...

No, he had occasionally mentioned being in the hospital in the past year or so, but was never forthcoming on why.

Rest in peace, Percival.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Fidelium animae, per misericordiam Dei,
requiescant in pace.
Amen.
