Unbearable news
I am very sad to report that Furp has been killed in a motorcycle accident. Furp was a friend and Anthrocon staff member; many may remember him as the man with the medical bag who was the first one we called when we had any urgent health issues. Furp sat up with me through the night years ago when I took gravely ill at a convention, and was the first person in the fandom other than myself to hear the voice of Dr. K.
His boss told me the following:
Last night, Patrick (Furp) was riding his motorcycle near the 29 Palms Marine Corps Base (California) where he works. He was struck by a drunk driver, and died. The driver, a Marine, is currently in custody.
