Death of an Innmate and a Friend
This past Thursday the 24th saw the 4 year anniversary since the death of YeOlde. I wanted to repost this from the blog for all the old Innmates and the new to help them remember an old friend or to know a bit about a lost one.
Jake Myers better know as YeOlde passed away this morning Saturday September 24th 2011 at 4am central time from cancer after having slipped into a coma Friday afternoon. As some of you may have already known YeOlde had gone to see his doctors last Friday for some tests which came back negatively and he was immediately hospitalized. During the course of this week he progressively got worse and knew his time was short and with the help of his wife was able to get out a few messages to myself and the rest of the Staff including this last one below hours before he fell into the coma.

YeOlde's Last Message to the Inn.....
{ I wanted to write something short for my friends at RDI, I would write more but trying to type anything is tedious and I cant think too straight anyway, I just want to say that I have enjoyed the times I have spent at RDI, the adventures I have had here were some of the best of my life , I treasure the friendships I have made and will always carry them with me , RDI is a wondrous place filled with great people,carry on the adventures and Game On! }

As you all can see even knowing he was slipping away, he still had time to say goodbye to all of us, a true member of the Inn if ever there was one. For those of you who knew him as well as I and some of the Staff did, at least as much as he allowed, I know this will be a hard hit. However like his wife told us, after 8 long years of pain from his cancer he is now pain free and in a better place, the memories of the Inn with him always.

Via con Dios, Geh Mit Gott, and Tenna' ento lye omenta my friend, you will never be forgotten..............

He always had a Kind and Encouraging Word for me when I first began playing here at the Inn.

Thank You Tann for Keeping the Memorial Flame Burning!

Wow, time passes quickly. He is missed by those who knew him, even if only here at the inn.

Thanks for the reminder Albert, always good to remember friends no longer with us.

The interplay with his characters helped me write better. I believe he's the one that brought me out of my fears of writing.

Yeah, I miss him too.

I agree with Roger. Always good to remember those who have passed on.
