Foxidrive has left us

I just happened to reread this old post from foxidrive. It brings a tear to my eye every time I see it.

I keep his passing in my calendar. Regardless of that I usually stumble upon one of his posts on the Internet almost weekly when searching for stuff.

[dbenham]

I don't know if you took the time to follow the link, but I feel he was almost saying farewell in that post...

[miskox]

Does anyone have a picture of him? What was his age when he passed away? What was his real name?

Thanks.

The 15th post in this thread says he died at 57
Much too young.

[miskox]

57...too young. I am 50 already so I know.

Thanks for the info.

Hey Foxidrive. Keep looking over us.

I was re-reading this and loved the collection of quotes Antonio @aacini posted at viewtopic.php?p=51462#p51462
The real-world analogies are fantastic!

Five years?

RIP, Foxi.

[miskox]

Another year has passed. I knew it was november. I missed it for two weeks. Sorry, Foxi!

Rest in peace.

It gives me much to think

This uber-user had died long time before me coming to this forum so I know only what I just read in this topic, after glancing through topic titles and wondering [wrongly] "what is Foxidrive and why was it potentially important for BAT-coders?" - its heartwarming

Especially that on the other spectrum of forum user's behavior is that of those from the one dedicated to software [lets call it] M [as to not name names] where one of the two top users has suddenly disappeared ~4 years ago after over a decade of participation, but nobody seems to care. And on top of this, that forum's only admin recently banned me for life for my scarce attempts of making it a little more human and less questions-answers only

[Squashman]

7 years. Your contributions and comraderie are missed.

In the code of life, Foxidrive left behind an indelible legacy, and in our hearts, they remain a brilliant friend whose memory continues to light our path.

[Squashman]

8 years.
Foxidrive, I hope you are still with us in spirit.

[miskox]

8 years already. Time flies.
