Alastair Dussart

Hi

I agree with BidMod, Alastair would not want the site taken up with these messages. Perhaps it would be nice to print them off and put them into a book to send to Alastair's family, so they can read them in their own time.

Nice idea i can't get the printer out of the box yet, But i really like the idea above me.

In the last few years Alastair (HJP) has been known as one of the most familiar names on the Auran forums and some of us have got to know him very well even though we never meet.

His contributions to the forums have always been friendly, constructive and interesting.

You will note I refer to Alastair in the present rather than past tense. It's always hard to appreciate that somebody so young can be taken away in such sad circumstances.

But having lost a couple of young friends myself I draw a little comfort in the saying "only the good die young".

Alastair was certainly a goodun here and he will be sorely missed here.

To Al's family our thoughts are with you at a sad time. I hope you can take a little solace that he had a lot of friends here.

RIP Alastair you won't be forgotten. I don't think he'd want to end on a sad smilie but to finish with fond thoughts so .

Awful News. I really enjoyed his wit and passion. Belated condolences to his friends and family.

It does not need to be stickied forever, just long enough to pass the news

Still very sad however....even 2 months later I still find it sad, Just like when Elvenor passed away some time ago

Who was this 'Alastair'? The guy on trainz with the Orange tux?

He was an original well liked Trainzer that died tragically young. I personally met him when he came over from England to attend the National NMRA Convention in Canada.

Did you really have to bring up a 2 year old thread to ask that ?

He's the first Driver in TRS2006 and previous Trainz versions IIRC.

Yes

My original post(#106) had a broken link...fixed now.

My condolences to the entire family - both his and Trainz as he will be sorely missed. I always enjoyed his posts.

I am so sorry that such a tragic loss occurred in the family. On December 25th, 2007, I lost my grandmother, she died from three different types of cancer that took her life away. I will pay you with ultimate respect.

 

[trainzamtrakfan]

my condolences go out to you and your family.
