Hello. Some of you will remember the forum user known as Kevin who offered replicas such as ID and credit cards and Leon's precious photos? His name was Kevin Bulmer and sadly he passed away aged 48 on November 12th. He had been suffering from prostate cancer for about a year. He was a personal friend and a great supporter of Bladder Run my spoof movie. Moreover he was a wonderful person - kind, helpful, engaging and full of enthusiasm. I am sure that you will all join me in a moment of silent contemplation and send you love and best wishes to his partner Cate. He was "celebrated" (there was n funeral as such) 24/11/11. _________________ I've eaten things you people wouldn't believe

Very Sad for sure...He was the first person I helped research BR props with on the old propcircle board, before this place became all BR and I was a member of the RPF. He also helped me become a member at the RPF IIRC. I may have never gone down this road if it were not for him. I posted some of this in the other thread, but I don't think I can say enough about the guy. I am still in a bit of shock about it. We talked about working on more props together in the future, and had a lot of ideas we had talked about using some of his lenticular 3D and motion connections. A loss in so many ways. he was one of the good guys for sure. Andy

I am totally shocked! This is truly sad news. I had no idea about his illness. I also knew him since the propcircle days. Really cool guy. His work was always top-notch and he was a great contributor to these forums. My condolences to his family and loved ones. R.I.P mate _________________ "F*ck it, it's just a movie.

I didn't know him personally, but it's always sad to hear about someone passing away while still young, specially in the case of a talented creator. Rest in pace! _________________
