 | | For those of you who haven't heard, Researcher pheloxi died on Sunday morning:
F64198?thread=6507944
Pheloxi was a much-loved and long-standing member of the community, and will be missed by many people here.
I think it's only right that we put something together in his memory, so I'd like to put together a Memorial Wall for the next issue. If you'd like to leave a comment, memory or thought in this thread, we'll bring them together in something fitting for the next issue. Those of you who have written journals mourning his passing may wish to direct people here if you think they'd like to contribute.
I'd be grateful if you would add only comments you would like us to add to the article to this thread.

 | | When I first chatted to Pheloxi he told me he had fingers missing, and was most amused when I nicknamed him 'Sunshine Fingers' because his remaining fingers produced a glowing, bright and happy Personal Space, which was guaranteed to lift the spirits. That is how I will remember him.

| | I don't recall where exactly our paths crossed, but we started to talk when I was still fairly new to hootoo. I joined the United Friends of H2G2space A703126 which he had created, and on asking, he gave me the code for the musehome t-shirt (one size fits all) A582455 (I didn't know any guide ml at the time) which fit me so well that it adorned my PS for several years.
He was a good friend and always added his humour and wisdom to my journals. He coined the term 'hootoo sisters', which inspired me to create a space here: A19789311
He always had a smile or a 'for the ladies', and was a long-standing and reliable contributor to my Yikes journal over the years.
In one word: he was a friend.
I will sorely miss him.

| | He had English that was better than my Dutch,
He had humour that was better than Lord Sutch.
I Can't say I knew him very well,
But he provided humour on occasions without rhymes, and that's what matters.

| | We're so very sorry to hear of pheloxi's passing away. He played a really big part in this community. Just reading all the posts here and on his journal (F64198?thread=6507944) - the lovely things people are saying about him - you get a real sense of how respected he was and how positve his contribution has been to the site. He made a lot of good friends on h2g2 and many people will be missing him now. We'd like to applaud the memory of pheloxi, an outstanding community member who made a really positive impact on h2g2 and on the people he met.

| | Pheloxi is now like a star in the heavens shining down on us.
Pheloxi as you danced in the light with joy,
love lifted you. As you brushed against
this world so gently, you lifted us.
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.
