Two Years Ago We Lost A Friend....
« on: June 07, 2008, 08:04:41 pm »

Sorry this is a day late.  I have been extremely busy with the move to Kentucky and the new job.  Not really good excuses but just so you know.

Two years ago we lost out founder, friend and leader DAT.  His passing was sudden and caught all of us off guard.  From the initial panic as several of us received an email stating that DAT (Mark Hall) had passed away to the sad realization that the news was true when we spoke with his family.
It is still hard to believe he is gone.  I miss my friend and will be forever changed by his passing.

It was truly an honor to be the representative of DAT's other family ({PR}) at his funeral.  He has the sweetest, nicest family and I almost felt like an intruder in their hour of grief.  I waited until after the service to introduce myself but was immediately welcomed as a member of the family.  I shared with his parents and sisters what he had created with {PR} and how devastated we all were by the loss.  They had begun reading the posts that our members were making here.  The notes detailing what DAT had meant to each of us were precious to them.  It was a significant source of comfort for them to know how much DAT was loved.

DAT, we are still here, still going strong.  I, for one, think you have left a great legacy with {PR}.  We continue to grow and move ahead.  All of this is thanks to what you started.  You are still very much the heart and soul of {PR}, and we try to guide the group with the principles that you set forth.

I miss you buddy.

I never knew him but the way this Clan just feels Like a Home. He must have been great. The rules are Just, the Admins are Wisely chosen. Just everything about it feels right.

I know I have left in the past, Once actually, But it made me realize that I will never be in a clan that feels as Welcoming as {PR} does.

Heres to another 2 Years for {PR} and many more to come.

Man I can't believe it's that long. Still remember the date; 6/6/2006.

Seems all the good people die early, anyone who does no harm to anyone (I know the bad people don't die because my neighbors are *****s and about 157 years old and chain-smokers yet they simply won't go away, wish I could exchange them for DAT) He was a great guy and really helped me out, without him I'd still be a rambling n00b at Halo, would never have met you guys.

Miss him.

Bam,

Thanks so much for your sweet words. We are so thrilled that Mark's legacy lives on. Thanks to everone for their kind words and hard work to keep this going. We miss him everyday but are comforted knowing a piece of him lives on in PR. Hope all is well with you. I read some posts about your dad a while back and hope he is doing better. Sounds like you've had a lot going on and the Hall family hopes you are well. Lots of love to the rest of the PR clan as well!

Best wishes,
KAT (DAT's sister)

I am truly sorry writing this message too late.
I have no excuse.
I became {PR} more or less 1 year ago and was shocked of everybodyes kindness .
I felt like all {PR} was a huge family( and I steel feel that way).
I never got to meet DAT and I wish I did , because all this was what he created
I could never tell you but now I think I can:
Thanks.
Hope we all meet you one day.
Johnny(Giovanni).
sorry for my spelling errors DAT , I'm italian (that explains everything).
Thanks again.

Words cannot explain how much we cared about that man. DAT was 1 in a million I say. I wish for all the love in the world to DAT and his family.

Rest in peace buddy.
