I liked Peter and he was always a clever thinker. It's sad to see another fall to time. Like others, he will be missed. Goodbye Peter, all the best to you on the great stage in the sky.

This is a great long UK article interviewing our friend Peter Marucci, HERE
And another good article on Peter from 2014, HERE

Karl Bartoni:-
In December 2011 he told me, in the strictest confidence, that he had Parkinsons Desease and even emailing me was very difficult. Although we never met, prior to his illness we were continually in contact via emails and as many of you know, he contributed a lot to Dragonskull. He was already greatly missed after he became ill but it's so sad that his absence is now forever and that this wonderful man has joined the ranks of many other inspirational 'brothers' who have passed over to other planes.My sincere commiserations and thoughts to all his family.

Peter Marucci was such a great talent! His "The Ripper Strikes" was the inspiration for the 1st bizarre magick effect I created, "Jack." We've lost another Great One, Fellow Mages.
Of course, "that which was not born, cannot die," so he's still be here for us, probably, as I type,  chasing DeNomolos around there with a deck of cards. They'll just be communication issues we will each have to solve in our own manner.

Shadow Dwellers: It's sad that this list is getting longer. The greatest inspirations to me on SD who have passed include Brother Shadow: without whom SD would not exist.
Gene Poinc NLT+++++++++: the reason I joined SD and whose online battles with Circe we both enjoyed.
Larry White - mentor, teacher, writer; he allowed me to edit "Devil of a Bar & Pub."
Ed Solomon - Denomolos - champion of all good storytelling.
and now Peter Marucci - chilling stories that inspired.

Raise a glass in cheer
To see a spectre floating
Shadows in the night.
