I am so sorry to announce that we have lost another member TheLastColdBeer (Jim Brophy). I had not seen him in game for quite awhile and texting him  I never received any response. The last time he had been seen in the server was December 21st.  Having a bad feeling since he was a staple of our COD2 group of players I looked up his name on line and sadly found the attached obituary.  
Jim was always so much fun to play against and it has always been people like him that kept me coming back for more. He always had a upbeat and fun demeanor about him while playing. 
I know he was going through a lot over the last year with the passing of his brother, he had been making trips from his house in Illinois  to Texas to take care of his brothers estate and personal affairs.  
Jim had also lost his wife years earlier Lori Brophy who passed in 2016.  
Jim will be greatly missed by all of us that have played with him for years.  Sadly this
leaves another hole in our clan that can never be filled.

So sad to hear this news, he has been around for a long long time and has become a staple in the COD2 servers in the past many years. RIP my friend and hope you and your wife are having a great time again. 
I added him to the Fallen Members page

I am saddened to hear the news of Jim’s passing.  We have gamed together for as many years as I can remember. We may not have seen eye to eye on subjects at times but I loved his passion for this group. I will miss his good morning messages on the website. There was something inherently good about that small gesture. 
You got your wish Jim, you and Lori are together again. Gods speed my friend.

Yeah you tossed me for a loop when you notified me. I really can't thank you enough for going out and searching for him. Such a sad loss for sure but comforting to know he is with his wife whom he so dearly loved and missed. We had met up in the past down at Anna Maria Island here in Florida. Sadly the last time we were to meet up his wife had fallen ill and he pretty much called me on the phone as we past each other going in opposite direction. I was heading south to meet up with them and he had to head north to get her home. I hope he is at peace as he was a good man, a good friend and a hell of a good player. Rest in Peace Beers!

Happy Valentines day to all the lovely >XI< ladies  😍   (OK OK - you too @BUDMAN   )

Due to bad health and old age, we had to put him to sleep.
 

Its with a mixture of heavy and light heart that Dad came to collect his favorite girl into his arms again last night just after Midnite. She went so peaceful and in zero pain, and thats all a child can ask for at the end.
I am a firm believer that our Parents bring us into this world, raise us the best they can and then it is our job to be there and support them as they leave this world.
She is up on a boat fishing away with Pops now and in no more pain, she started dying 3 years ago when Dad passed, they were truelly 2 souls connected as one
Thank you to all for your kind words of support this week, i passed them all along to Mom and my Brother and Sister
 
Much love
Stormy/James




 

UPDATE
 
We (my brother, sister and I) spoke with the Dr yesterday. Ma was in ALOT of pain but they couldnt give her pain meds due to damage to her kidneys and liver already. The Dr said there is no coming back from this, the blood clot is a ticking time bomb, and her organs are so far gone and she has gone septic inside. Me being the one who lives here had to make the "official decision" but we all know in reality it was MOMS decision and we were just her voice. But, we have stopped all treatments, by doing this the Drs are allowed to pump her full of pain meds because who the fuck cares about her kidneys and liver now, now is all about making her comfortable until Dad comes to collect her (Dad passed 3 years ago this month)
So, she is heavily medicated and sleeping 99% of time now, everyone came yesterday to say their goodbyes and she was surrounded in love. She has no IV fluids going in and no food unless she asks and can herself, which is not going to happen with how medicated she now is. 
Now is the waiting game until Dad decides we have had our time snd its his time again 💔💔💔💔
Thank you so much everyone for your messages and those who have reached out. You are all amazing and ill eternally love you all!

Had to have Ma taken to hospital in an ambulance 2 days ago. She has been ill for a while and it got alot worse, hadnt eaten in a week and very little fluids and couldnt keep anything down but gained 22lbs in a week and a half with fluid retention, could barely get from bed to the bathroom.
The admitted her and have been running tests, her liver and kidney numbers were through the roof. They did some CT scans and ultrasounds and found blood clots, one in/on her liver and one in lower IVC vein in her upper right leg, then they found one in her upper IVC vein in chest. They are now concerned it is one massive clot all together. The Dr said it is totally out of his area of expertise so they are consulting with a Dr that specializes in Clots. We should know more today as to weather they are going to  continue with blood thinner or have to operate to remove it. Then we still have to figure out the liver and kidneys after that
I was with her last night and she is hallucinating and saw my Dad who passed 3 years ago this month, very incoherant and weak. 
Dr says she is on a teeter totter right now, and things could go any way, she could be home in weeks and right as rain or some clot could let go and she would be gone before the nurses even got the alarm
Im not a praying man myself, more of a good thoughts and vibes, my Mom is very devout and would gladly take any prayers or good thoughts sent her way
If i seem a little off, or quiet just wanted to let you'se know why. 
Ill still be using the game and my amazing friends in servers as my "escape" and "detoxing" as much as I can to save my mentality and some sort of normallcy

She liked this man, and we would watch his show.
 

It was a little over 14 years ago that me and some friends stumbled across the XI servers, COD5 FT to be exact, became members shortly after, and have continued to be here ever since.  Is nice to be able to come out and play and just enjoy the banter with a great bunch of guys and gals.
Cheers
