Some of you know a few years ago, wait it's been 15 years since then. I had some marital problems and they ended up taking me down and out. But now I am still around but just out of sight. I lost everything as that's what happens when someone is unhappy. But as for me, I have never been happier. The stress is off and while I don't have much I have what I need to survive. I lived in my condo for 6 years without making a payment I couldn't afford anyway. The day came I was notified that they finally sold my condo on the courthouse steps. That's when my nephew who was stationed in the Navy just a few miles away came and took me to live with him and his amazing family. I was there until he left the Navy and I moved to an adult living facility. I lived there for about eight years. Now I am renting a room from my dear sister and am very happy. I have kept in touch with some of you via my PC. I would love to play with you on one of the servers to say hello! I am not sure if my internet will allow me but nevertheless, one of these days I'll be there. I can play COD4 WAW5 COD2. I see there are still those who have nothing else to do than cause others stress and aggravation. But I hope to see you all soon.

We are  so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family.

Rest in Peace Buddy,see you in the next Level🙏

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!

Pic of last time we met up 

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. 

Thanks @loaderXI for setting this event up again just like you do every year. Several people came in on Sunday and played like the old days to remember our Family/Friends we have spent so many hours with that we have lost. It is always a tough event on many levels because of the emotions we experience thinking about our friends and all the great times and the bonds that were built over sometimes multiple decades. I just wanted to express my gratitude to you and the entire clan for taking the time and spending the money to always make sure we have the chance to pay tribute to our Fallen Loved One's. Thanks @Ruggerxi and @WldPenguin and anyone else who also was involved in making sure this event continues. A big thanks to everyone who stopped in and to those who couldn't make it but were there in spirit. I know all of the Guys in Heaven were looking down and smiling because they know how much we love them and they will always be >XI<. Merry Christmas everybody

hi all,
i have been in communication with Flowerpower and i asked him for if he would like to share anything about this dad, he sent this message via flowerpower 
 
Good morning Dave ,
 
 From the son of Peter .
 
N MEMORIAM – TANGMERE-XI
 
All,
 
I’m writing a message on behalf of my dad, whom is known to you as Tangmere-XI.
He enjoyed gaming with you guys very frequently and also for several
(many) years in a row so most of you might know him.
 
Sadly, I have to inform you that my dad Peter passed away at 5 September last month, due to a cardiac arrest.
Still can’t believe it, but I’m sure he wants me to move on from this when the time is right, otherwise he would’ve kicked my ass.
 
Every night he was playing World at War.
Throwing around buzzwords through the headset like ‘’Jochie, Lamlul and Wichser’’ at random, these words became quite familiar to me as well.
He was always having fun with you guys and I’m glad that he did.
Even whilst I was sitting upstairs, I heard him laughing and saying these famous buzzwords all the time. But probably there were a lot more than the three I mentioned before.
 
He recently bought a new PC, and needless to say I was trying to move him over to newer, more recent Call of Duty and ActionRPG-games as I – and everybody’s mother almost – is playing these nowadays.
But… you know the fun part?
He didn’t want to as he said multiple times ‘’Nah…these guys ain’t on there - they are all on World at War so I’ll just stay there.’’ That is how much he enjoyed playing with you guys.
I couldn’t get him over to enjoy all the new-generation games with me, even when he sat at a new 3000 Dollar PC….. Thanks I guess, guys?
 
I’m so glad and thankful for the trips we made in the last years. Father and son.
As some of you may know we visited some famous WW2-sites.
2x Normandy, 1x Bastogne and two months ago we went to Germany to do some third-reich sightseeing.
These were great, great trips where we had lots of fun and where we saw many interesting stuff.
Obviously these trips are now very, very special to me.
 
Please know that Peter (Tangmere), still IS the best dad that I could’ve ever wanted, and I’m very grateful for the times I spent with him and for all that he thought me.
Although it was (way too) short, I will keep him and his memories close to my heart.
As a kid I had everything I wished for because of him and my mom and he raised me as a proper man with morals, values and virtues. I’m proud of him.
 
_On behalf of Tang…._
*I want to thank you all for the good and fun times online. It was a real pleasure.* *One last salute to you all.*
 
If you want more pictures let me know.
 
It was intense to read...what kind words from a son for his father Gr Mat (flower
 
As flower said what lovely words at his time of grief. 
i know i never got chance to help him become a member, wish id pushed him more with it, but he loved XI and in my eyes will always be a member of the XI family.
never forgotten and loved by us all x
2 photos attached of Tang and Tang with flower power his close friend

sad day here .you will be missed brother idiot .RIP

"we want to put our meat in your mouth"  funniest shit for a advertisement ive ever heard to this day..wish i coulda tried the steak!

I am at a loss to hear the passing of my close friend.  I can not imagine this server without  that dry sarcastic demeanor and calming effect he could have when gaming.
I will miss our chats and our times gaming together. You made it look so easy Ted. Gods speed my friend. Heaven just became a touch brighter. 
Pete (Ter)

Played with him many times - sorry to see him gone - RIP
