This week I received the sad news that an old Second Life friend has passed away, in real life. While we were not close friends, we did catch up every now and then and ran into each other in various clubs and parties and events.

Sir Ian Undercroft, a gentleman pur sang, proud of his mesh feet and looks. Always in for a joke, banter and witty conversations. And his hint of gay.

We’ve been friends, unfriended, and friends again (in no particular order and over several – in hindsight – silly matters) the past years. Our last chat, a few months ago, was about dogs and cars, the weather in England and the joy of mesh body attachments in Second Life.

And now he is no longer online, but offline forever.

My heart goes out to Keira and his family. He will be missed. And so will his hint of gay.
