    Icon9 Passing along unwelcome news....

    Hey gang,

    It is with a heavy heart that I need to inform the CFS 3 crew that Kasey Miller (Grizzly50) is no longer with us. He was in ill health for some time, but still, the finality of it doesn't make it any easier. You don't find many people in this world who had an incredibly quick mind, an unforgettable laugh, and a similar "bent" on the world. I can't tell you how many laughs we had together on Skype over the course of several years.

    I have a call to make this evening, and if there are any additional details I can share, I will add responses to this thread. It was touching to know I and Shadow Wolf 07 (CFS2) were specifically requested to be contacted in a situation like this. I'm of course concerned about his wife and young children.

    Rest in Peace, buddy. You are irreplaceable.

    Hello again,

    I spoke to a man named Will who contacted me regarding Kasey's death. Apparently, he passed last Tuesday evening, comfortably in his sleep. He has contracted COVID a couple of months ago while at the nursing home where he was, and it weakened his system enough that his body finally gave out.

    That’s really sad news, he always struck me as larger than life and his kids are about the same age as two of mine. You’ll be missed, Kasey!

    Sorry to hear this also, I knew he wasn't well. We used to fly
    MP to test new planes for loadouts, we had fun doing that.

    Condolences to the family. RIP Kasey

    Really very sad news. Kassey contributed very much to this community in the past doing testing of update packages, putting together some of the readme's and one of the eto expansion updates.

    May he find peace and his family comfort in remembering the good times with Kassey.

    Icon9 Grizz has gone !!!

    Really sorry to read about this,--- Grizz used to fly with us a lot up to around 2-3 years ago. He helped me many times to sort out CFS-3 game problems and he was definately a character. He was a good flyer too and he would nail you good if you were careless. Thanks for letting folks know.

    Sad news indeed. Kasey put an awful lot into CFS3 and in particular the ETO project.

    This community is richer for his time and input.

    Man, it's always tough to hear of these things. I had exchanged e-mails with Kasey a few years ago and he struck me as good hearted fellow with a positive personality. I will miss his posts in the forum.
