Handle id #16488 : FatFrost
I met FatFrost at X in Holland once and we kept sporadic contact after that. He was such a nice, fun and warm person. My thoughts goes to his family and friends, especially his 4 year old daughter. Rest in peace, Richard. :'( |

Damnit. RIP. It's known if he is another Corona victim or for other reasons? |

I first met FatFrost at a party and I immediately felt that this is someone to get to know. He was beaming with positive vibes and had a great smile. In chats afterwards this atmosphere continued and he kept returning to the subject of the TurboChameleon64. This is so sad. Condolences to his family.
Such an awesome and friendly guy! |

I'm completely gutted and shocked to hear this tragic news about Richard. :( One of the nicest and positive men I have ever met in my life!
First knew him in 2007 here online and I had many chats with him ... I always remember he wanted to organise "8-bit Bonk" ... a party of C64, beer, hot girls and so on... ;D
We eventually got in touch on the phone about arranging a car trip from England to X'2012 demoparty ... and so, I picked him up (as well as Polish scener Scarab) in the car I was using for the trip.
That car trip was something I will never forget... he was the talkative man with a big heart and a very cultured being with a lot of stories to tell, not just on C64 but his life and surroundings in general... it kept us going throughout that very long trip from Teesside -> Rotherham -> Nottingham -> London -> Dover -> France -> Belgium -> Netherlands -> X'2012.
Half-way there, he expressed many ideas about games that could be made on C64, demo-effects and so on... he was a true visionary with many ideas.
On the way back from X'2012 demoparty, we went to his mother's house for a small break, that was his dropping-off point... while there, he gave me a huge block of home-made Wensleydale cheese (which took a good month to consume :)) as well as a bottle of one of the finest whiskeys... not only that, he literally gave me a full Commodore C64 set with datasette and tapes (it was the Commodore "Mindbenders" edition with Marilyn Monroe on the box), I still have it in my cupboard, unopened because it is so clean and new! ... All of this must have been his thank-you gift for me taking him to his first C64 demoparty. :)
Writing all this is making me sad... I wished I could have transported him to further demoparties but I wasn't there afterwards... but now he is no longer with us. :((
Seriously, one of the nicest men in the C64 scene you could ever meet!
R.I.P Richard Frost (aka FatFrost) ... I send my deepest condolences to his family and everyone who knew and loved him.
Your old C64 bro, Owen / Conrad.
@Hedning ... didn't know he has a very young daughter ... omg what a tragic time for her. :( |
