We Lost Vulcan

Post by Duper »

To all you old timers out there and Lanners from the PNW.

Vulcan aka Scott Newkirk passed May 20, 2020 from liver disease. I knew Scott a long time and he was a good man.
The ol' codger and his conspiracy theories will be sorely missed.

I lanned with Vulcan and a number of you all up at Claymation's house many years ago.
Scott's survived by his wife (a breast cancer survivor) and his two kids.
If you know them personally, please reach out to them and let them know you're thinking of them.

Cheers.

I remember playing many games with him back when I was still active, always a blast, farewell.

I don't think I ever interacted with him personally but I definitely remember the name. My condolences to his family and friends.

It would have most likely been back in the Kali days. It's been probably a full decade since he's posted here.

I remember playing lots of games with him and Rob (SuperSheep) years ago! Lots of D3, and C&C games! Any word on how Dinky is taking it? (We still use the VON ts3 btw)

No, sorry MD. Scott's son only gave me a quick message on FB. I haven't been in touch the VON group in years.

Sad news indeed. I do remember being on TeamSpeak with MD-2389, Vulcan and other VON members.

I came to post this myself. Glad to see others paying their respects to him. Scott's son called me on the phone today to let me know. VonVulcan was a great guy.

Gotcha! Do you know if they need any help?
