Passing of a good friend...

[Just Randall]

Crossposting, because I can't say it any better,



He was not on cast, but he knew so many of you.

It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the passing of our dear friend and long time crew member, Karl Wolff. Many of you know him as Lord Vandor or Dragon, but he was always Karl to us.

On behalf of The Pirates Cove, we ask that you keep his wife, Pam, his daughter Scarlet and son, Ben in your thoughts and prayers.
...
We will post details of the remembrances as they become available.

For now, the best way to honor him is to remember him and the things he loved most. Have a drink in his name, wear something purple, change your profile image to a dragon, watch Tim the Enchanter or Rocky Horror Picture Show, post some funny memes or eat some bacon.

Above all, the best way to remember him is to be as giving and kind to all that you meet, love your partner completely and tell them so, and make sure to laugh.

Fair winds and following seas, Karl.

I have the viewing info that Pam posted this morning. The funeral/memorial will be at a later date.

RIP...

May you find safe harbour at your journey's end...

Karl, we will miss you in this life and see you in the next. Take care till then. To Pam, Scarlet, and Ben, I'm sending all the energy I can to help you heal.

Oh goodness this is sad indeed.  I remember the first time I met Karl.  It was at my first McLot party at Niki and Ace's place.  The impression he left was of a soul that was open to adventure and that he had a very kind heart.  My prayers are with his family.

I knew Karl/Lord V/ Dragon for years.  He was always ready with a hug at TRF, or would find me when he visited Scarby to make sure I got a hug then, too.  He even ran me down on the parking lot once because he had not managed to catch up all day. 

He was very kind, writing me a long missive when Curran passed away.  Perhaps they are raising a flagon in Valhalla and revelling the others there with tales of Faire.

May your light burn bright wherever you are, Karl.

We seem to be losing so many old friends, I will miss the Purple Dragon. Lord Vandor, peaceful journeys to you.

[KeeperoftheBar]

Karl,

Seek the light my Brother.  You shall be missed, remembered and honored.

[Capt. Bacardi]

Pass our prayers and thoughts to Pam and the kids. He will be greatly missed and one of the people I was surely going to find when we came down the TRF this year. You will be missed my friend.

[Merlin the Elder]

I did not know the gentleman, but from reading your responses, he sounds like the kind of man that I should have known. My condolences to one and all for your loss.

[Trillium]

another member lost....he will be missed!

[Terre Albert]

It's always sad to hear a friend and member of TRF passing.  Our prays and thought are with his family and friends.  If there is anything we can do let us know.

For anyone who does not know there are two benefits scheduled to assist Pam in the costs. One is scheduled tomorrow at Crooked Ferret Pub at 6:00 p.m. There will be a Auction, Raffles, Kissing Booth and Bake sale Meetup at 6pm, Auction starts at 8pm. The address for the pub is 11835 Jones Road, Houston, TX 77070. There is also one schedule for May 12th starting at noon. It will be at Hirsh Park located at 100 North Houston Ave. Humble, TX. If you would like to help provide ANYTHING please send an email: grignak@gmail.com(taken from the event off facebook). Both are public events.

If you guys have any questions I can try to answer any or direct you to someone who can. I will not be able to attend either of them nor were they organized by me. I did however want to pass the info along to anyone who wanted to help or attend.

On my first trip tp TRF 8 years ago, Karl introduced himself to me while working at the Pirate booth.  We knew each other from offsite through our mutual friends, but I had never met him until that point.

The warmth and kindness he showed me from that day forward will always stay with me wherever I go.  Performing as I do can be lots of fun, but very trying at times.  He was always there with a hug, smile and reassurances that things would be alright.

Thank you, Karl and I hope all of your ethereal dreams have come true wherever you may be.

Hugs
