James Johnston '10

[Andrew Zorowitz]

I have recently received some extremely sad news. A good friend of Foam Brain Games, the RPI LARPing community, and RPI Games Club, James “Jimmy” Johnston, passed away yesterday in a tragic accident. Full details of the accident can be found here: http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/20100707/COMMUNITIES/100706119/1005/NEWS01/Chester-Twp.-man--23--found-dead-in-pool

 

For those of you who don’t know Jimmy, he was a good guy – often full of life and joy, and always ready to give a hand where one was needed.  He was heavily involved in student activities including acting as treasurer of the RPI Games Club, and being heavily involved in the ARDA theme house. He greatly affected us all, and even if you do not know him, you will no doubt know people who will be greatly affected by his loss.

 

A group of RPI students and other locals have formed a Facebook group here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=136553586369880#!/group.php?gid=136553586369880&v=info to remember him; all are welcome to join and post their memories of him.

 

He will be greatly missed.
