Patrick Muldoon gone at 57

Possibly best known to Dakkanauts for his role as Xander in Starship Troopers.

Lou Zocchi passed away last week. Apologies if this is a repeat.

His wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Zocchi

He was a game designer, writer, publisher, and dice manufacturer. I have a few sets of his Gamescience dice in my collection. I had a few conversations with him at GenCon over the years.

Super nice guy who really enjoyed gaming and had a passion for dice.

Heard about Zocchi, was going to post here but somehow forgot. I had thought he passed away years ago, but apparently it only just happened. He invented the 100-sided die (the zocchihedron), and he was involved in designing some of the original plastic starship miniatures from Star Fleet Battles (I can't recall how he was involved, only that the minis were referred to as the Zocchi plastics).
