This morning Vic C left to be with God. His family has asked that I let those of you who were touched by Vic, know of his passing.
He was a true friend in time of desperate need for me and I'm sure many of you as well. As I am very saddened by his passing, I receive comfort knowing that he is now painfree and in the presence of his loving father.
I will be developing a web site for his writings on RSD/CRPS as per his request.
I am thankful to have known him. He was a big factor in my HBO Treatment and ultimately, a purchase of a chamber. The chamber has allowed me to live my life more fully. Thank you Vic.
Being able to express his thoughts on "the old forum" about RSD/CRPS, was helpful in his final days. He needed us as much as we needed him.
He wanted to help those who could be helped, unlike himself. I keep his memory in my heart.
Love to all...diana

I kept expecting this but yet still it comes as a shock that it's finally happened.

Vic....I know you're finally not in pain anymore and are at peace. This is the thought that most comforts me right now. I may have never known you in person, but it still doesn't stop the tears. You will be missed very much by a lot of people. You touched so many lives over the years and I'm really glad you touched mine. I will dry my tears soon and turn to celebrating life. I will celebrate your courage, your loving heart and the many things you taught us about RSD. You are now free to ride the wind instead of tied to a body you hated. I will hear your voice in the breeze that blows, the waves as they crash to shore and with every RSD pain I have. LOLOL For how can we forget it's what brought us all together and understand more about RSD together.

RIP my man! *waves at the sky*

For letting us know this.

I had several conversations with Vicc on the phone after he left this forum.

Our last one was about Heaven and who's going to be there. Boy is he going to run into a lot of interesting people there.

He will be so missed by many that knew him. He's with God now and at peace.

I am so sorry to hear that. I am new to the forum and did not know Vic, but am impressed with his insightful postings. I look forward to the website being constructed in his honor.

Millerprof,
Thank you for this reply. This forum, that means each and everyone of us including the moderators meant more to Vic than we can know. His research into RSD was something he was dedicated to until the very end and beyond.
My best to you, Millerprof. Thank you for taking the time to honor Vic.

Some of you I have pm'd, others I have addressed in posts, each and everyone was important to Vic. This was his home away from home. Thank you all for honoring him here.
Love to All,
Diana

I will miss Vic very much he was a good man with alot of compassion for all of us, and a driving passion to find the answers to the riddle of RSD. Please convey my sincerest condolences to his family for me/us please DianaA, we have lost another good person to RSD/CRPS.

Sincerely,
Sandra

R.I.P. my friend

Thank you for letting us know.

I know Vic's research helped me to talk with my doctor about medicines and treatments for RSD. Vic also reached out to me and helped me during some pretty desperate times as my RSD began to spread and for that I am forever grateful.


Vic will be missed but never forgotten.

Rest in Peace Vic.

I had an opportunity to let Vic know how much I appreciate the knowledge and information that he shared with me over the last few years. Vic told me that he knew that his time was at hand and thanked me for my encouragement... but it was I who was encouraged by him.

Words are not adequate right now, but I truly feel the emptiness of a friend lost. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

God bless
