RIP Erik
Coming back here and seeing this thread it is hard to find any appropriate words...
:bow:
RIP
Sad to see this as your most recent post, Kukri, but glad you still swing by from time to time.
Best wishes and give that spouse of yours a hug.
Hey
Sh*t.. just seen this. F***.
RIP HoreTore. You were one of the few on here with both a functioning brain, and a willingness to engage it.
Hi Kukri.
Wow, that is weird. I don't remember much about him, but it is sad to see a fellow Orgah pass. RIP
That's your way of saying that you agreed with him, as it isn't about you.Quote:

I rarely visit these days and was shocked to see this news on the front page. I am so sad to discover that HoreTore (Erik) has been taken in such abrupt circumstances and at such a very young age. I shall mourn him.
He added lustre and colour to this forum with the strength of his convictions and his evident devotion to teaching. As others have written, the vocation of teacher is one that should attract passion and strong beliefs, so that young minds can challenge themselves and the learning with which they are presented. HoreTore seemed to me to be a man who honoured both his students and this forum with the opportunity to learn.
I offer my condolences to those of you who knew him in real life. His family and you will be in my thoughts.
My condolences.
Every time we lose someone, a unique part of our lives changes forever. Our community is in a state of constant change, but when someone leaves us this way, the change is especially hard.
As a fellow non-believer, I don't think HoreTore is anywhere now except here in our memories. Such an idea is very difficult for many to accept, and even take offense to the notion.
But, life is full of challenges, one of them being the acceptance of uncomfortable things we wish weren't true. It's harder to let go of someone when confronted with the idea that we won't meet again, even if we were promised by many that there's a meeting place somewhere out there in the future for all the departed to meet us again.
Loss is difficult to accept, and it even feels like a betrayal of someone's memory to allow oneself to accept it.
Consider that this time we have is the only time we have, and how precious that makes our time together. That our decisions have consequences that can't be undone, that we have to live with mistakes, and have to accept losses as permanent. As hard as it is, it might make you realize that, for someone like me, that makes the time we spend together, however much or however little it may be, to be the most precious time I will ever have, and that I only have so much of it. And that I'd rather spend it with you.
I hope that thought is actually something comforting and wonderful to you, and you do not take offense.
Love you guys. RIP HoreTore, or, let us all remember HoreTore in our kindest thoughts. Whichever fits your beliefs.
From the days I was active here in the Backroom, HoreTore was one of the most entertaining characters to witness debating the various topics. His ideas and methods of debate were always things that for different reasons constantly put a smile on my face.
It is a sad day for all of us that he has passed. We can only hope that the org itself, and we on our personal lives, can find people of the caliber and integrity of HoreTore.
Rest in Peace.
Very saddened to hear of HoreTore's passing. I suspect he wouldn't want a lot of hand wringing and emotionalism.....
Too bad. Mourning is for the living. Always sad to see somebody cut down in the prime of life. Praying for his family and friends, that they receive stength to move forward.
This is a sad day indeed. As I am not terribly active any longer in this forum, I have missed the passing of a great contributer. Being a teacher myself, I can only imagine the loss his students must feel.
My condolences to all who have known him; to his friends and his family.
RIP
Been gone a very long time and saw this...
Very sad. Had many debates with him and some wonderfully horrible hurled insults from both sides that of course deep down we enjoyed.
RIP worthy young man. Cannot understand the reason to be cut down at such a prime age. Life is precarious and balances on the thinnest of threads.
Hey yeah, sorry i'm late for this too, but my sincerest condolences. Gonna miss you Horetore.
This is so shocking. I haven't been on in a while and to come back to find this. I always thought he was quite young, like early thirties or something?
RIP. From what little I gleaned he was a kind person who liked helping those in need. He'll be missed.
It's strange...
I rarely agreed with Horetore, even more rarely interacted with him directly. He was passionate about views that I did not understand and did not agree with. As a fairly sheltered, white, christian, middle class child, I didn't consider a lot of the issues that he pursued. As I mellowed out, I ceased my general backroom activities, although I still read from time to time. I did not know he was a teacher. I don't know if you're out there, Horetore, but even though we likely had little in common belief and you almost never directly interacted with me, you did teach me. The wonderful thing about the org is that I learned so much from people without them intending to teach. The .org is a true melting pot, with people from different countries, different beliefs, different cultures coming together with only the faintest of bonds, but forging new ones with each other as we discover so much.
I hope you find comfort, Horetore, if you're out there somewhere. I hope your friends and family do as well. Death at such a young age is an tragic experience for anyone involved.
Very sad indeed. RIP Erik.
I was able to visit Erik's grave today. His older sister met me in the nearby town and we spent most of the afternoon by the grave, talking and sharing stories about Erik. I told her how much of an impact that he made on all of us here, and how amazing it was to see all the nice comments about him. She was very touched by this. It was an emotional afternoon to say the least. So thank you to all who donated, and may Erik's memory be a blessing for us all.

A nice picture.
RIP Horetore
I do enjoy that his name was Erik Hole Lover, I wonder if he enjoyed this fact in life?
