RIP Don. You were such an inspiration to many, and will continue to be. I just hope that Gregor is doing alright.

Thanks, I am doing as best that I could given the situation. He was my dad...and my hero.

My Dad would be so humbled by all your comments. He was always so proud to be associated with DOOM.

Thanks again everyone
Gregor Punchatz

Oh wow for a second I thought you were a troll. Welcome to the forums champ! My condolences for your loss.

If ever there was a time that an art museum exhibit featuring the art of games made rounds in the US and featured the original DOOM box art prominently on a large display, this would be the time.

RIP Don Punchatz. The cover art for possibly the greatest video game of all will mean a lot more to me now than ever.

RIP Don. I think I'm going to go try and get a nice, big poster of your work now.

Who deleted Punchatz's post? Was he a troll?

I still see the post:)
we will be laying dads ashes to rest on Saturday , halloween , dad would love that .

Thanks again everyone, me and the family have enjoyed reading your comments. I printed them for my mom to read. Had to explain what a troll was, she does not even use a computer.

Thanks
Greg
