The passing of another Doper - danceswithcats

Aw dances. This is just terrible. Every time I saw him he was full of vigor, fun and fight. I cannot imagine what was going on inside. Be at peace, friend.

Holy crap. I’m so sorry to hear this. :frowning:

I’m so very sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and with his family.

Oh my god. I met him once years ago, at a Dopaween. He seemed like such a cool, fun guy to hang out with, and I always enjoyed posting with him here, even if I disagreed. :frowning:

My condolences to his loved ones.

I am sorry to hear this - I enjoyed his posts and smiled at his username.

My thoughts are with you, this is terrible.

Oh no. I’m so sorry to hear this. Please don’t be hard on yourself Bibliocat.

That photo of the two of you is the one I thought of when I saw this thread. Such a wonderful portrait.

Go in peace, Paul.

It was a Dope-The-Halls at our house.

Goodbye, Uncle Paul. We will miss you very much.

I’m so sad to read this news, BiblioCat. His was one of the first Doper names that I noticed. I interacted with him a few times in Doperball games too. Seemed like a clever and cool person.

Hugs for you and for Paul’s family.

Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry, BiblioCat.

Like everyone else who met him, I can say he was a lot of fun and will be missed.

Requiscat in pace, dwc. May your soul find peace.

And my very deepest sympathies to you, BiblioCat. I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through, but I hope that time and tide will heal the wounds.

My condolences.

I’m very sorry for your loss, and that of his loved ones not on the boards here. I always enjoyed his posts.

Rest easy, Paul.

Oh, man. That’s terrible.

danceswithcats. Just another pseudo name on an anonymous message board on the interwebs. Never met him. Never knew him. Participated in a few threads where he posted. Probably exchanged a few comments back and forth with him, too.

So why am I like so many other posters here, shocked, sad and offering support to BiblioCat, another who is just another pseudo name … ?

Cuz we’re family. It doesn’t take blood to be a member. It doesn’t take proximity to be a member.

We’re still family.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Heartbreaking news. I just got a phone call about this and wanted to hope it was all wrong. I’m sorry for your loss, Bibliocat. I got nothin’ else; I’m stripped of all eloquence here.

RIP Paul.

Damn. I’m sad to hear this. BiblioCat, you and his family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers.

Damn.

I second this. What if’s will serve no positive purpose in your grieving process. I’m so sorry for you, his family and others that knew him.

Heartbreaking event. ~hugs Bibliocat~

Please try to avoid doing this to yourself… The facts are that his brain chemistry was so, so off and that he refused help. These are horrible facts, but are not your fault. We can’t watch over even the most depressed people all the time, despite our best efforts. You tried to be there for him, and that was a great thing.

I didn’t know him - only his posts - but I doubt he’d want you to torture yourself. I’m sure you helped him the best you knew how. I wish you and his family and friends comfort.

I’m so so sorry to hear this. Paul was such a great guy at all those Dopefests, it’s hard to believe he had these inner demons. I hope his daughter is OK.

Terrible news! :frowning:
