Dear List Unfortunately I have received news from a credible source that Pat Condray has passed away. This is very sad. I first met him in 1963 I believe at a war game convention in the Ben Franklin Hotel I believe. I can't think of war games without Pat. But beyond that he was great guy and a wonderful human being and a very good Christian who tried to help everyone he met. Otto |

Very sad news indeed. Otto, thanks for letting us know. |

Very sad. A founding father and a genuine gentleman. RIP Pat. |

A great loss to the hobby. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. |

Very sad. I had just gotten to know him a little via purchases this year. |

I had the pleasure of meeting his Grandson and speaking with both of them at Cold Wars for quite a while. You could tell he loved having his Grandson there. RIP Pat. |

Sad to know. We have lost some good people in the hobby lately. RIP Pat. |

I never met him, though I recall his name here. He sounds like a good man. My sympathy to his family and friends. |

Terrible news! Sorry to hear this. |
| Who asked this joker | 02 Apr 2015 9:47 a.m. PST |
Very sad news indeed. A straight up nice guy and very knowledgeable in the WSS and SCW. Today, our hobby is greatly diminished. May he rest in peace. |

The last of the HMGS Triumvirate. Spent quite some time talking with him at Cold Wars, today I wish I would've spent more. Praying for his family. |
| Ed Mohrmann | 02 Apr 2015 10:16 a.m. PST |
HMGS Triumvirate ? Well, Pat could have been that all by
himself ! Never had an encounter with or a conversation with Pat
but that after which I had many 'So that's what
he meant…' moments. Gonna miss him a TON. RIP, my friend… |

RIP Sir! One of the good folks of the hobby! |

I have dealt with Pat in the past, and he will be missed. My condolences to his friends and family. |

As an Irish saying goes, "May you rate a mansion in heaven." And in Pat's case, it needs a good wargame room. RIP, old friend. Larry Brom and family |

I met Pat Condray back when he was marketing Editions Brokaw and he was always the nicest and most patient, answering all my questions [even the stupider ones] about the GNW. RIP He was one of the true gentlemen of our hobby and there are very few of those left. |

It's never a good day when one of us passes.
RIP. |

R.I.P.-Pat you will be missed. |

Sorry to hear that. Best wishes for his family. |

I didn't know Pat in this life; hopefully in the next. My prayers for him and his poor family left behind |

My(our)old friends since the 1970's from the hobby passing far too soon since last year's Historicon:
Pat Condray
Jay Hadley
John Hill
Bob Coggins I will miss all of you very much. |
| brass1 | 02 Apr 2015 4:48 p.m. PST |
Pat was one of the good ones. He'll be missed. LT |
| epturner | 02 Apr 2015 4:50 p.m. PST |
He was a grumpy and opinionated old codger whom I enjoyed talking with every chance I got at conventions. RIP, sir. I'm sorry we did not get one more chance to roll dice and kvetch over ACW Ironclads… I should have bought those extra SCW figures I wanted from you last year, like you said. Eric |
| Grelber | 02 Apr 2015 7:05 p.m. PST |
Pat will indeed be missed. I bought many of his SCW figures and he was always happy to answer questions.
