Lost a dear member of our community, allforcharity (42 Viewers)

[JeepologyOffroad]

Berny was a big part of making me feel welcome when I first found this forum and also was a massive help with one of my first THC sets ever. He was always a great ambassador for this hobby. RIP Berny.

Good morning everyone
I can’t stop crying
Losing one of the best person ever
Trying to find the reason why lost him
He was on my dream last night
He said “ good music here and I can have any chips I want”
Sorry paolo we can’t play together for a bit”

I can’t write this message because my eyes it’s full
Of tears
I miss him already very badly……
Sorry guys

What a wonderful dream buddy. So sorry for your loss.

*I didnt say that to be a jerk. I know Berny would have laughed. So sad to hear of his sudden passing. His contributions here will be missed.

I know for a fact, Berny would have belly laughed at that comment.

He had just gotten the last CDI $1s he was looking for too. https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...-these-help-a-chipper-out.135897/post-2771510

Rest in peace Bernie. Terrible news.

He can truly rest in peace.

Goodbye, my fellow Bondie

Well fuck. RIP Berny, always appreciated your feedback/comments on my design threads. You will be dearly missed, and I will always look back on many sets and attribute elements to you and your guidance.

 

[LotsOfChips]

WTF indeed.

PCF, the Lower Mainland poker community, and the world in general is diminished with his passing.

I echo what has been said already, Berny was the most welcoming person on this forum, always with a welcome to new members, an offer of encouragement and a positive reply. He was a light that will sorely be missed.

Life is fragile. One day we’re here, and the next, we’re gone. I say this often because I mean it sincerely: please, don’t take your loved ones, your friends, or anyone in your life for granted. Appreciate the little things, cherish every moment, and make the most of the time you have with the people who matter.

This is so true.

This right here. He sent me a Chinese New Year card at some point when I was new to the hobby. Guy always had a way of making you feel welcomed.

 

[Shaggy]

Wow, so sorry to hear this. RIP.

Did he have a family?
Maybe they need some help?

Thanks for your thoughts
I working on it
He had a beautiful family

My heart it’s heavy right now…

 

[Highli99]

Condolonces to his friends and family. I always appreciated his contributions here. He was a good dude. Life is short, cherish it.

 

[GreekRedEye]

What a loss. He was def one of the mentors of this forum. I loved his insights, his energy, his designs, and his kindness. Wish I had known him better.

@Pippa I am sorry for the loss of your good friend.

 

[SixSeven]

At a loss of what to say. Definitely echo what @horseshoez said. Can't believe it. He was such a nice guy and helpful to me. Thoughts go out to his family and friends, and those who knew him on here, like @Pippa.

RIP @allforcharity

 

[PAZ]

He was a great person who will be missed. Thought and prayers to the family.

 

[BiGGyT]

Shocked.
Saddened.
Sucks.

 

[merkong]

As we all sit down to play tonight let’s think about these fiercely strong relationships our games promote and how that’s really all that matters.

Be well everyone.

[Dcarl]

This is terrible. Would see him all over the place on here. Pretty sure I bought chips off of him honestly. RIP

 

[chippitydoodah]

We have a Poker Chip Hall Of Fame. I think we need a Poker Chip Forum Member Hall Of Fame. I'll let someone else who knows how to set something like this up (@Irish maybe) but I nominate @allforcharity and suggest we name the award in his name.

 

[Colquhoun]

The moment of silence sitewide was a very nice touch, @Tommy.
It's unfortunate that Berny wasn't able see how much of an effect he had on members here. I hope his family will see some of these messages.

 

[Klobberer]

I remember how excited he was to acquire the Grouse Mountain Lodge chips. I was aggressively collecting $20 singles at the time and asked if he'd sell me one. He sent me not only a single $20, but a $20 and another complete sample set. So thoughtful and so generous.

I was just checking today to make the CD I just sent arrive safely when I stumbled across this horrible news. Rest in peace our brother and thank you for everything you did for me.

 

[Klobberer]

And...if you go back and look at any "New Member" post, I guarantee you Berny was one of the first members welcoming that new chipper to the community.

 

[FedorOfSpades]

Heart breaking, horrible news. Rest in peace.

 

[Klobberer]

I'm an old fart with zero tech IQ. If anyone out there wants to start an @allforberney charity ID or charity to support the charities that he donated to, I'd be in.

 

[T_Chan]

We're throwing around the idea of putting on his 007 themed charity casino night in his honor. When we do, we'll likely post up a link for anyone would like to donate.
