Hello my friends, brothers and sisters, acquaintances, and strangers,
Sunday, May 5th, 2019, we lost an old ATF Companion, Glenn Manly aka Rowdy Yates.
Rowdy lost the battle to liver and kidney cancer. His heart couldn't take it.
Rowdy and I met here on ATF -the best damn family- about 15 years ago when the BF42 Divi was off and poppin. I soon discovered that he lived and worked (often the same place) about 30 minutes from me. That's when I decided to stop in and introduce myself face to face. I'm so glad I did. We became great friends over the years to come, and I was happy to introduce him into my circle of friends. We played a lot of Texas Holdem and shared many laughs and good times.
Rowdy Yates is a household name in my life now and I miss him dearly. I knew he was dying and I only wish I could have said a proper goodbye.
For anyone in the SoCal area this week, his service information is below.
Services Viewing 11am - 12pm Services 12pm Burial 1:30pm Hermosa Gardens Cemetery 900 N Meridian Ave Colton, CA, 92324
PS... I want to thank ATF from the bottom of my heart and the top of the scoreboard for the opportunity to meet and become great friends with such a man. *S*
I said GOODDAY SIR!!
GOLD MAP PACK coming soon!!

RIP ~S~! I understand what you're going thru, I have met some great people thru multiplayer gaming and have lost a few friends too. Makes much harder when you met those people in real life and hurts. Sorry for your loss my friend!
