MEMORIAL GATHERING FOR RICK LOOMIS ON OCT 19th

MEMORIAL GATHERING FOR RICK LOOMIS OCT 19th

Everyone is invited to a public memorial service for Rick Loomis to be held at Scottsdale, AZ at the church that Rick attended for many years and worked as a Camp Councilor at.

Rick was President of Flying Buffalo for 49 years, President of GAMA and the PBMA on several occasions and attended conventions all over the United States and Europe.
Rick was probably the very first person to ever own a computer that was devoted to running just a game (1972). He published the 2nd oldest RPG: Tunnels & Trolls, wrote the first T&T solo adventure, brought the Nuclear War Card Game back to the public eye,published the Citybooks and Grimtooth’s Traps and published numerous other games, dice and rpg materials.  He is missed by many.

We invite people from the gaming industry and his friends and family to attend and join together as a community to honor Rick’s life and accomplishments.

If you are interested in speaking at this gathering please contact us at skcrompton@gmail.com and your request will be forwarded to the family.

Location:
United Methodist Church

4140 N Miller Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251

the service is on October 19th 2019 at 11 AM
