I know we cannot call out players in the forums but hope this list is acceptable.
Like everyone we have players on our friends lists who stop playing, either burnt out, disillusioned or have other reasons they stop playing. I have a few players like that on my list but we still touch base from time to time via email or PM's. But the following seem to have just dropped off the radar - does anyone know why?
2DAMFLASHY - Request by Scott. Wall says RIP - and confirmed by a good friend of his, Dave, you are missed. RIP
Andrewmca - apparently killed in Afghanistan - RIP Andy
Aussiemite - (Request AlaskanDame)
Bubbadork
Chasmiester (Request Bassmaster) - not sure if this is a serious request lol. Probably banned for hitting 100,000 complaints
Chris5214 - Was heard from a friend a few weeks ago - is into iRacing and was sick of the BS in the game and forums - hopefully Chris will pop in occasionally - hell of a guy. Plays on another golf site.
Choppography sp? - From Courteney -Chopography (Chip) told me that he was very busy at work before he stopped playing. I assume that he decided that that should take priority. A fine chap and good club member.
Corwyn - A very good player who learned the game the hard way...then did it all over again playing UEL - request from ZAGRANICZNIAK
Creamer444 - account not showing - had asked many times to can it - looks like they did close it - was opening a painting business - I assume creamer came back under a diff id. Indeed he did, now re gifting to another - Pathetic

Deedles77 - (Request Dazza501)
endabunkers (Request Toona)

HAOJENTW - Request by Overtheedge - played a lot of WGT

Twinstack (Request Skccvb)
WilliamRicker - Request MM) - BACK PLAYING AFTER A LENGTHY ABSENCE........Edit...the status probably says it all.....21 Apr williamricker: WGT is a joke!

If I miss one wall post or pm me.

Thanks Edward, I did see that as he left me a message.
Time to hit him up for a game....might have a slight chance of beating him
I wonder with Covid-19, how many more players we might see from the list - if you do, let me know.
Be safe everyone.

...
As a better memorial alternative . Out of the highest respect .I offer this collection of pics and avatars . The added visual can add some pleasant memories to one who has disappeared , passed . got lost and came back , but was missed , etc , etc .
I have taken every entry from this thread where a request was made out of concern for their whereabouts .
I have added a few more that I knew .
Then I dug deep into the search . I think most all are here .
In the cases in which either I could not connect to their link . Or their profile was disabled . I created a spot for those using the shadow dude . Then I changed that and put golf avatars in their places . Male and Female . If out of any of those anyone has more luck finding an appropriate pic for any of those . I will change them out .
I think you will enjoy this montage of so many held fondly .

...............

May your souls live in our hearts forever .

Many thanks for putting together the avatar list of those no longer with us. 2DAMFLASHY was my mentor when I 1st started on WGT. He was a great guy, always willing to help us newbies. I do not play much any more but I do recall many conversations with 2DAM.
With great respect.

Any others that are passed or strongly missed will be added .
Even if they were gone and came back .
I found 2 yesterday that have definitely passed . Who's accounts are active . No doubt by family members . 1 of them I know is a son . Quite alright .

Not heard from DAD111 (Bob) in over a year, a very generous person, he is not searchable and his posts on my wall now show no author. Hopefully he just decided to give it up rather than something else.

I have not heard from Bob in awhile either. Have to check with some of his other friends from his days in TPC and see if they heard anything,

Here's a guy who hasn't shown up in a long time:
Joaquin Raphael Carlos Juan Jose Ramone Jorge Eduardo Raoul Sanchez.
He goes by the golf name: Jose Ramone Smith
Last seen trying to pass himself off as an Irishman.!!!!
But, I'm guessing the Scottish accent will give him away...

Daddyskat .
still in my club but has not appeared now for a few years .
she fell out with me as she seemed to think i was anti female but she just had a different sense of humour .
she was always in demand for the programmes she wrote on calculation club , wind etc .
she signed out saying her company in california's silicon glen was so busy she was working 7 days per week and she had bought a sailing boat and was learning how to sail in some lake in the backwaters of california .

Yes . Several have been mentioned in this thread . And I saw several while glancing through the profiles . It is good to know some have returned that were missed . Rather than not know at all .
For the most part this is for the " MIA - Where are they?" Thread . Mostly a very tight and close group of long time acquaintances . And I added a few of the RIP's from the Forum .
As I'm sure many of us can think of many others that are no longer here . That we remember for various reasons . Most of the 640 in that one list . That has grown to 1000 . Are no longer here . Not about to list them here .

Thanks Paul for the input.
I am afraid that I will not be updating this thread, so if someone wanted to cut and paste, feel free to do so.

Thx Alan . This is one of your best threads . I am sure it will continue on with the same honor you intended .

Thanks Craig. I called Rich a friend, but honestly I don't think he would consider me his friend. We were friends years ago, but the bragging Henry Kawa made that friendship impossible. But I still miss Rich in the forums. He was the voice of reason (always).

He's Chief Creative Director at Topgolf these days, so he won't be mingling with the WGT hoi polloi like us.
