I am sure everyone is well aware that the other day the game and community lost one of it's greatest players to date, Gramps. Not only was Gramps legendary in his gameplay, he was also one of the most generous people that you will ever meet. On a more personal note, I have known him for close to to 3-4 years, growing closer to him over time. In the end, he was one of my best e-friends, becoming like family to me. Through his time spent here, he has accomplished many things such as leading the games once #1 guild, bar-none in GP, working his way up through the ranks of staff with his dedication and work ethic, being the ONLY player who could pull off the eienstien head, and above all else, dedicating more time to the game over the last 4 years then any player I have ever seen.
In honour of Gramps, I would like to offer anyone in the community who has known Gramps or been effected by him in some way, to wear this special UB (Made by Tricky) So that we will always have something to remember such a remarkable player. He will always be known as the most inspirational person I have ever known, so I dedicate this to you...

We love you Gramps!!!
p.s In addition to this, I ask that each player posts a little something about Gramps that they will never forget.

Gramps is and always be an awesome guy.

It wasn't spam - I liked it how he always said fishy
I do not know him very well but he always had the aura of a nice grownup that is responsible for anything,a friendly aura.
I don't really have a screenshot or something, but he was a cool guy who never said no, no matter what you asked.
One thing I won't forget is his coin head, it's always funny to look at, and when someone wears it ( rarely ), it reminds me of Gramps.
I have known Gramps since I joined BC closed beta last summer.He has always been nice to me and everyone else.He has given me free stuff and has never asked for anything in return.
<3 ya, Gramps.You will always be a part of BC and Redemption :)
It all goes back to 2007 when I started playing BOTS!!. I was complete noob and I had no clue what to do in game. Then I joined the guild where there was guy named snipersrgay(that was Gramps for you who don't know).He helped me to get to level 100 and he taught me how to play this game.He helped me to coin my bot because back then coins were real life money and I was just 13 year old kid with no credit card or money. When our guild leader ended up in jail I made him join Elite Dragon X. EDX was not known guild but Gramps,Firey,Div,Adam and I did it known,in 2 months of grinding our asses of we made it rank 1. We had great fun playing that game. But then after some time I quit playing cos game got boring. One day Gramps contacted me on MSN saying that I should start playing BC.I have started playing this game just cos of him. And now he is gone, he is a legend and one of the best e-friend anyone can have or wish for.
I quit now.
Now i know why he always wielded the Eienstein head. I never knew Gramps, but since i joined Redemption i got to know who he was. Never talked much with him, but when it happend he was always happy & approachable for sure. I kinda had the feeling that you & Gramps was close Firey, hope you to will still see eachother (where ever you can). I will wield the UB because of his joy & because of his approachable meetings.
Hope to meet you again Gramps!
Never seen a nice person like him, he didn't even know the word "no", if someone asked he always tried to help.

I love his humor :P
Gramps, whatever you asked him for, he'll always give it. I didn't even ask for a blockhead and he gave it to me. Shame of me to give it back though.
Gramps4ever.
Why is he leaving?
He gave me free items even when i didnt ask for them. Same as Toast :)
I am honestly speechless. Erm.. *opens mouth, no words*

You better have some sexy meal ready for me :3
One memory I had of him, maybe not a good memory is that he was always drunk, him always saying ello, since he started the whole ello thing. He was also very generous to everybody, even if he didn't know them.
Kthnx, this made me tear up a little. :(
