RIP Hypsi87 (Andy Filson)

I have the link his roommate made in the buick forum.... This is a sad day, Andy was a good guy, i got to meet him and know him personally, we were supposed to go cruising this summer. Not only is it sad to hear that a guy as kind and helping as Andy died, but he possessed a lot of knowledge about cars and was always willing to spread it around... I'm proud to say i had a beer with that man... RIP Andy.. :frown:

:sadwavey: My condolences to his friends and family.

RIP Andy, 'tis indeed a sad day, We'll all miss him I'm afraid. my thoughts are with his family and friends.

i didnt know him but its always sad when somebody is taken so fast

R.I.P andy

God bless him! :(

Bless you, Andy, may only high -octane rides be where you are now. R.I.P.

Wow, this sucks. I was quite use to seeing him post in various threads on AF.

I didn't know him really but I saw him post several times and he seemed like a nice cool guy.

I'll never forget this story he told though and it's sad we won't be hearing anymore like it.

Stunned. Nothing to say.

I have truly lost a close friend and this forum has lost a outstanding man and moderator.

Now we all truly see how fragile life really is....

My prayers are with his family. God Bless....

This is a man that truly deserve's our sympathy and I am sticking this thread cause I can't think of another that could possibly be more important to this site

Good idea John, i think he well deserves the respect that you show by making this a sticky. I just wish i could have told him how much i respected him before he passed.

Sad times.


A few months back, a young member of another message board I frequent succumbed to cancer. It always sucks when stuff like this happens.

I found a article on the accident for those wanting to take a moment. http://www.pjstar.com/stories/071905/POL_B71ADVLH.013.shtml

RIP

I'm still in shock.

Sorry to hear, didnt know the guy at all but RIP.... :frown:

Wow...this is what I get for not being more attentive here. I miss out on news. WHat can you say, knew him online, good posts, good mod...seemed like a good guy. Farewell and R.I.P

I just wish i could have told him how much i respected him before he passed.

x2 :(

He had been traveling at more than 100 mph when the tire blew, police said.

Remember guys, speed kills. (The tyre killed in this case, but speed was a very dominant factor in what caused the accident). Take care out there.

RIP Andy. :(

Speed does kill. Sad to see such a great person in life and such an outstanding memeber of this board leave us and pass. We will miss you greatly here at A.F. . Andy may you rest in peace bro.

Condolences from former memember Dampachi. Aka Tim.

There are no words that can express the depth of what happend here. The lose of any person is a tragic thing. I did not know Andy personally but I do know he was a great guy and was fun to talk to. I keep hopeing this is another April's fools gag but I know its not. RIP Andy

Somewhat ironic how Andy gave us one last piece of advice. :frown: :sadwavey:

Your risks increase commesurate with the speed you drive.

I keep hopeing this is another April's fools gag but I know its not. RIP Andy

Same :frown: Thats what I always wanted it to be.... I hope his family are taking these times ok, he really was an awsome mod.

Wow second person to die in a week on forums I visit... July's just not a very good month so far. Drive safely, or you too will be sorely missed.

I am sad about the loss of a great AF member and I am still shocked of what happend. RIP Hypsi87.

May God rest Andy's soul.

He was a great guy to have on the boards.

I think i speak for all of us when i say "F.U.B.A.R."....i wish i could've met the guy personally....he was an awesome dude that just wanted to go fast and get a boat...lol.....R.I.P. Andy Filson....AF won't be the same....

I was actually shocked when I read the announcement. It's a shame that something we all do (speed) was the cause of death. My condolences to his family, his friends, and to all of us grieving

Z28Josh has been kind enough to offer to deliver letters to Andy's family from us if we send them to him. I for one , find the need to express to his loved one's how much being friends with Andy meant to me and how much knowing him effected the person I am today. If anyone would like to just take a few moments to write up a little something on Andy let it be a funny post that made you laugh or how he answered your question or PM or how in some way he effected your life as well I would greatly appreciate it, cause Andy gave alot to this forum and if you had known him you know he took this forum and his advice very seriously and we should all in this time express to his family just how much we all appreciated this. There will never be another like him.

Josh's Mailing address to send letters for his family is:
Joshua Jacobson
906 1/2 South Vine Street
Apartment 101
Urbana IL, 61802

RIP Andy. :(

I agree with you there. I said that in some random thread and got nothing but abuse. At least I know there is one other AF member who is aware of this.

R.I.P Andy.

Lets not get into a don't speed kids direction here, There were many contributing factors in what happen to Andy and yes, we all know speed kills but regardless this is a tragedy. So no preaching necessary.

*bows head and says a word...*

i go away for a weekend, and this is what i come home to. :(

i am completely speechless and shocked. harmlessly browsing through COT, and i came across josh's signature picture. then another member with a note in his sig. then a couple more. i didn't know whether to believe it or not, but here's the thread...and here's the reality. AF has lost one of it's true shining stars. we, both as a website and as individual people, were blessed to have Andy in our lives, though it may only have been (for most of us anyways) through an electronic medium. he was a true enthusiast, who shared his love with us every day.

he will be missed and my most heart-felt condolences go out to his loved ones and those who actually had the priviledge of knowing Andy in real life, and not just through a computer screen.

RIP.

I've been apart of AF for a few years now, and although i never go to know Andy myself, from what i saw, he was a real good guy.

RIP man

Just gettting back from vacation myself and found this out.

I didn't "know" him except for his posts but he seemed like a really decent guy.

I hope that this doesn't come across the wrong way because I mean nothing bad at all, but at least he went out doing something that he lived for and didn't end up with Cancer or some other shitty way of going out.

Please accept my sincere regrets and condolences to all of his friends and family.

Yeah man.. driving down the road, driving fast, having your favorite music on, heading home as the day closes. What a great feeling he must have had, it's nice knowing that was to be his last experience, if it had to be anything.

I hope that this doesn't come across the wrong way because I mean nothing bad at all, but at least he went out doing something that he lived for and didn't end up with Cancer or some other shitty way of going out.

Thats possibly one of the best ways to view it. I 100% agree with that.

Damn, as busy as I am, I forgot that this past weekend is 1 year since Andys' death, I would like for those that read this post to have a moment of silence in memory of our good friend Andy. aka Hypsi87.
We the staff of AF miss him as well as those members that knew him personnally.



Thanks.
