    Barry aka Franknfurter, my husband and the moderator of this forum, passed away two nights ago after a sudden seizure in his sleep.

    I know he cared for so many people here, and i wanted to thank everyone who cared for him back.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. That's such a shock!

    I'm only a short term poster on this forum but a long time lurker and Franknfurter was such a helpful, knowledgable poster and moderater. He will be a great loss to boards, particularly this section, and to all the animals he cared for and loved too.

    Sorry again, I can only imagine what you're going through at the moment. :(

    RIP, Ff.

    I am deeply saddened by this news. Franknfurter was a familiar name here, and his sincerity and commonsense will be missed.

    My condolences.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭karlin


    I'm so sorry, Noah. I'd been in contact with him about rescue in the past and had quite a few emails conversations with him about a year ago. A very nice and decent person. Many will miss him and his cheerful participation. Take care of yourself, as this must be a difficult time for you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    I am sorry that he has left this life so soon and that you will miss him so Noah.
    But may he rest in the summerlands until the Godess needs him again and
    May ye meet, know and love again.

    See ya on the flip side...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 190 ✭✭SMK


    I am really shocked at the news. I've emailed Barry a few times over the last year or so. I adopted his cat Claymore and I know a few of the antics and tricks the cat gets up to were taught to him by Barry! I'm very sorry for your loss.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,676 ✭✭✭✭smashey


    Sincere condolences. Such a shock.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,255 ✭✭✭✭The_Minister


    He was one of the posters that always stood out to me. His posts were always worth reading, and he often made good, original, and useful points. I was looking forward to meeting him.

    RIP

    I didn't interact much with the guy and I think we mostly argued but my god Barry was someone that seemed unphased by the slings and arrows of life and in fact his general attitude was a defiant "That all you got?". The world is colder now. Condolences Noah.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    My deepest condolences Noah. I'm sorry for your loss.

    RIP Barry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,453 ✭✭✭Rigsby


    I'm only a member since Nov. and most of my posts are here. I almost felt as though I knew him in that short time.
    May he rest in peace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Very shocking.

    A real loss to the forum.

    Sorry to hear that - even though he banned me twice for posting You Tube video's (couldn't be bothered reading the charter) but he was very helpful afterwards getting me back online again.

    Just been reading some of his posts - with all the challenges life threw at him he always seemed cheerful and living life to the full. RIP. :(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,874 ✭✭✭EGAR


    Oh no!!! I've still got PM's from him in my inbox and I really enjoyed talking to him....

    I am so sorry for your loss - it's our loss as well.... a great loss, indeed...
    When you part from your friend,
    you grieve not;
    for that which you love most in him
    may be clearer in his absence,
    as the mountain to the climber
    is clearer from the plain.

    --Kahlil Gibran

    Dearest Noah I am so sorry for your sad lose - Barry was a wonderful man I am sad that I only met him once & I promise to love & care for Buffy, Faith & Giles.

    Love & hugs to you & Barry's family.

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Very sad to hear this. I met Barry a few times, once when I bought something off him through boards and I collected it from his home and other times in his place of work. Barry wasn't dealt a good hand in life, but I'll always admire and respect his positive attitude and the way he just got on with things with a complete lack of self-pity

    RIP Barry


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry

    I hope you are in a better place notw May you rest in peace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Jules


    Noah,

    My thoughts are with you and your family. Barry was always so friendly and helpful. His love for animals came across so strongly within this forum. He will be so so missed by us all.

    Julie

    Life is eternal, and love is immortal,
    and death is only a horizon;
    and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
