Remembering Grampal

Greetings,
It is with a heavy heart that I bring the very sad news that
the real life person behind one of our players has passed away.
Michael Charles Gibson, mainly known as "Grampal" in Genesis,
passed away on Monday June 22 at the age of 65. As many of you
know, Michael battled cancer for several years, and about a
year ago he stopped logging in here. I am sure I am not the
only one who has been worried about that, and sadly our worries
have now been confirmed.
Kind.
That's the one word that I think best defines Grampal as a player
and a person. He was one of the greatest ambassadors for Genesis
that we've ever had, and his tireless work trying to help every
single new player who found their way to our confusing world will
be missed just as much as the kind person behind the character.
You were a very special player Grampal, and I will always miss you.
I have created a statue of Grampal and placed it the Memorial
Garden south of Sparkle. Please go there, and <share> your fondest
memories of Grampal, so that he will always be remembered as long
as Genesis exists.
Cherek - Keeper of Genesis
