I didn't know that he passed away... It's so sad that he didn't have early access to MP-44... But I also understand why Takara didn't allow it...
Really unfortunate to hear this news. I enjoyed his pics a lot. I think he was the #1 reason why I spent so much on this hobby. I hope your looking down on us and seeing how much you impacted TFW2005, as well as the hobby itself.....Your truly one of a kind...RIP TCracker!
Many thanks for what you brought to the site, and to the enjoyment of the hobby you brought to us through your photography. My sympathies for your family and friends. Rest in Peace.
I wasn’t sure if you didn’t know or if you were saying something else. His passing is a sad thing, indeed. I’m glad though that so many of us here let him know recently how much he’s lived here. It’s so good he got to see that before he left.
WHAT ?! When did this happen ? I thought they said he had till at least August ? Omg.. this is a sad day indeed.
To think, a random Google search for Masterpiece rumors in 2012 is what brought me here. At the center of the reinvigorated MP buzz was TCracker. Condolences to his family and friends from across the globe. Thank you, TCracker, for your contributions to this site as a whole. Truly, one of a kind. Farewell.
Rest in peace. I'll always miss the amazing galleries and great posts he shared with us. Condolences to his family and friends.
My condolences to his friends and family. He was an inspiration years ago when I was doing a lot of customizing. His contributions and helpful demeanor will be missed.
No more fighting Tcracker. May you finally Rest In Peace that you so deserve. You’ve been my friend since day one of me joining . You will be missed by so many . I Always loved your contributions either through your beautiful photos , or your insight to collecting. Safe journeys my friend . Till all are finally one..
I haven't been around in ages, so I didn't know he was sick, and hadn't spoke to him in a while...but this hurts. He was a good photographer, a good board member, and above all...a good man. I remember the days of the MP speculation thread being so lively, with his tidbits bringing forth that life. The MP Appreciation thread was what it was because of him. The way he interacted with all of us was heartwarming. He always advised, always encouraged...any criticism was constructive. I never have - and still don't - take photos of figures much, but the few times I did, he liked them and encouraged me to keep up with the photography. In fact, though I'm not photographing figures, he's one of my photographic influences...inspired me to be better and start being creative, regardless of the subject matter. I talked to him on a personal level some, particularly around the time I was first in college...he cared, and helped me out when I needed guidance and someone to listen during a tumultuous time. The boards, the fandom, and the world have lost a great man...a man that we must honor. Rest in peace, Simon.
