For those that knew Skier/Skia/Henry from the old days at the other place. He passed away last Friday afternoon.

Yup, remember him from “the old days”. Seemed like a pretty decent guy

Before the Barn was created for naughty boys and girls there was a place / forum called 'banned camp' where they would hang out ..
IIRC someone by the name of Skia and another person engaged in a long back and forth with Afy (another old time CF member) who was suicidal and had taken an overdose .
They kept him in conversation for hours in order to keep him awake and may have succeeded in saving his life..

If it's the same Skia , he was a genuine good guy ..

Henry was definitely one of the good guys.

Prayers for his family and friends. I also send my sincere condolences.

Jeff


Henry's family used to own a clothing mill. He mentioned they stayed in business "too long" to help out the employees ( resulting in the family losing a lot of their own money)

Damn, somehow I knew it was going to be bad news when I read the title.
He was a good dude.
