In Memory Of
Over the years, Games Galore and More has been the setting for thousands of hours of games, conversations, laughter, celebrations, disagreements, and everyday moments shared among friends.
Along the way, something more important than games happens. We get to know one another. Names and voices become familiar, friendships grow, and people who may live hundreds or even thousands of miles apart become part of each other's lives.
Sadly, there are also times when we have to say goodbye.
This page is dedicated to the GGM friends we have lost and to the memories they left with us. Each was part of our community in their own way, and each left behind friends who remember the time, laughter, and experiences they shared.
For some of our friends, GGM held a memorial gathering where members came together to remember them, tell stories, and celebrate their lives. Where a recording is available, you can listen to it from their memorial page.
They may no longer join us for another game or conversation, but they remain part of the story of Games Galore and More.
Remembering Our Friends
The friends remembered below each left their own mark on Games Galore and More. Select a name to read more about them and, where available, listen to the memorial gathering held in their honor.
Carl Jacobsen — February 2023
On February 8, 2023, Games Galore and More lost one of our founding members and generous contributors, Carl Jacobsen. Carl was also one of GGM's original board members and helped shape the community in its early years.
Our dear friend Carl Jacobsen loved singing and was a fountain of knowledge when it came to history and politics. He enjoyed trivia and the many music games held on GGM. Carl was an important part of our community and is greatly missed.
Celebration of Carl's Life
On February 19, 2023, GGM came together to celebrate Carl's life and share memories of our friend.
Terry Scott — July 2022
In July 2022, the GGM family lost one of our most valued and dear friends, Terry Scott.
Terry brought hours of entertainment to our members as co-host of Lucky Roll and Zilch. His sense of humor and cheerful attitude brought joy to everyone he encountered.
Terry, you are missed. Each time we hear those dice rolling, we will think of you.
Remembering Terry
Chris Ramsay — March 2020
In March 2020, Games Galore and More lost a dear friend and generous contributor, Chris Ramsay. Chris was a good friend, a great host, and also served for a time as a member of the GGM board.
Chris was a good friend, a great host, and brought a wealth of knowledge and laughter to our community. Many of us enjoyed the shows he hosted on Legend Oldies, and his knowledge of music was matched by his sense of humor.
Chris also had a remarkable talent for impressions. He could mimic people and bring cartoon characters to life with their voices, often leaving everyone around him laughing. It's a talent—and a part of Chris—that his friends still remember and talk about today.
His presence brought fun and camaraderie to GGM, and he is greatly missed.
Remembering Chris
Michael Cunningham — June 2015
In the game of life, Michael Cunningham was a great team player, a coach, and a mentor to all.
Michael was always willing to share his knowledge of computers and his love of music, or to host a golf or Yahtzee tournament for anyone who was interested. Though he was in a great deal of pain during the last few months of his life, you wouldn't have known it from his attitude when he came to play games on GGM. He was always cheerful and never thought twice about offering his help when someone needed to bend his ear.
Michael's friendship, knowledge, and generosity left a lasting mark on Games Galore and More.
