Oh I have slipped the bonds of earth...

| | | My condolences, sympathies and prayers go out to Liz and ninj's family. I only met ninj once, and I have to admit, I was completely star-struck. Like so many others have pointed out, he was my introduction to UE. There he was, sitting just down the table in the Eatons centre. I think I may have embarrased him with my giddy excitement in meeting him. For a while I kicked myself for being so lame, and dreamed of being able to just sit down as two explorers and chat. But now I'm glad that I acted that way when we met. At least he got to know how I truly felt when I met him, and how I'm sure many others would too. I think we can all find comfort in the knowledge that whatever lies beyond this world, Jeff went in the way marked "do not enter".

| | | It's funny, I heard about this first from one of Jeff's older, non-UE specific friends, who's apparently known him for ages through another APA he did some time ago. (Goes by the nickname Dronon, I know at least a few of you know him) Jeff was a great, humble guy. I just can't describe what a nice person he was. I'm actually not overly surprised to hear, now, how sick he actually was. In retrospect, I can see a lot of the signs, even years ago. But I'm also not surprised he didn't want to call attention to it: that's just him all over. I may not have found out about UE through him, but he certainly changed my view of so many Toronto landmarks. I know Ferret and I do a lot more, ahem, wandering into places than we might have otherwise. Just a few days ago, I expressed regret to a friend that I didn't have time to show him the really interesting parts of Union Station. Union Station, the Shopseys, unaccesable hospitals, using private VIP areas in hotels... so many little things make me think of Ninj. I'm very greieved I didn't get to see him "one more time" after OPEX the first, but don't we all have regrets like that? I'm just happy I did get to meet him at all. I know there's still a few security guards out there who'd like to say that . It's funny how small the world is, that he's touch so many lives while never really wanting to be any sort of leader or rolemodel. Those are the best sorts, really. I'm sure one day we'll meet again, if he hasn't slipped through the "No Access" signs and out the back door of the afterlife to see what ELSE is there.

EXPLORER AT LARGE

| | | I didn't know him as much as most here, and him and I had the odd difference of opinion, but I had the highest respect for Ninjalicious both as an explorer and a person. It was his website, Infiltration.org that got me into the world of UE, and me boldly go where I'm not supposed to go. Ninjalicious personified UE to a T. As hard as it is for him to have left us, I derive great happiness from the thought that he has gone to a better place in which he can watch over all of us. In a sense, a little part of Ninjalicious is in all of us. R.I.P. Ninjalicious. Your legacy will live forever. In every abandoned building, every subway tunnel, every drain, you will be there, watching us as we "boldly go where none were supposed to go....." -oCtAnE

| | | My sincerest condolences to Liz, and the rest of the family. Although it is very unfortunate that he should pass away this early, Jeff/Ninj has left behind a legend and a spirit that will live on forever, along with a UE community that will live on, in one way or another, as long as there continue to be locations to explore (which should realistically be as long as man is around and continues to build man-made structures). I had the honor of visiting Jeff and Liz on two occasions in Toronto. Jeff was second to none in his ability to share the excitement and lust for exploration with the rest of the world. His positive attitude and outlook on exploring and life in general was also second to none. I won't attempt to describe this, as many others in this thread have already put it into words much better than I could ever do. I have registered as an organ donor in Jeff's memory, and would strongly encourage the rest of you to do so. Best wishes, "Slim Jim" Hollison
