The Augusta 1 Report post Posted September 26, 2008 I will miss our Don Tomasso. His enthusiasm was infectious; his sense of humour quirky but never offensive. Go to the gods in peace, Tom, taking the love of your friends on UNRV with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zanatos 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 This doesn't quite apply to our friend, but as it applies to a Roman tomb, I thought it was relevant. Stop for a moment, stranger, and read this breif message. This ugly tomb houses a lovely woman, called Claudia by her parents. She loved her husband wholeheartedly and gave him two sons. One is still on this earth, the other under it. She was a lovely companion but demure. She kept house ad spun wool. That's all. Now be on your way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaius Paulinus Maximus 2 Report post Posted September 27, 2008 To say I was gutted would be an understatement, I'd been trying to contact him recently but to no avail, now I know why. REST IN PEACE CECIL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vibius Tiberius Costa 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2008 A much-loved regular gone. Why not create some kind of honour on this site to/for him, although I didn't know him well, he would surely of liked that. His input in my questions was always helpful and cheery. I send a prayer. vtc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost_Warrior 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 Oh no. I've not been checking up on this section of the forum, so I didn't see this until now. I'd wondered where he went. May his soul rest in peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornelius_sulla 1 Report post Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Oh man, that sucks. I miss you, Gaius Octavius. Even though I never met the man in the flesh, he had a mischevious streak that I identified with fully and a fantastic sense of humour. GO emailed me stuff that made me laugh until I cried, clogged my inbox with jokes and stories, jousted with me in a lighthearted way, but was always helpful and friendly from the moment I got here. He and Neph are solid gold. GO dubbed me "The Savage" and now I'll wear that name with pride. I never met the guy in person, but no shit, friends, I'm crying as I write this. RIP Tom, you were one of a kind. Edited November 28, 2008 by cornelius_sulla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ursus 6 Report post Posted November 28, 2008 And now that I think that everything that can be said has already been said, let me lock this thread, and let the memory of UNRV's most colorful character merge with the strands of infinity. May his soul find its way to his famed Italian ancestors in the halls of eternity. Requiescat in pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
