Every time I make a Hungarian, Bean and Sausage, or Potato based Soup, I now think of Bela. I think of him often, as we spoke over the internet nearly daily for over a decade. He was a good friend, and I and many others that knew him online, still think of him often, and miss his friendship. Often, when one of our fellow online 'gamers' makes a 'bone headed' move and stupidly get themselves into trouble, I will think of Bela. I think of the joyful razzing and ragging that Bela enjoyed giving...

The Bela I knew was a gentle giant of a man with a kind soul. We often had differing views but agreed to disagree & remained friends nonetheless.

I knew Bela as "humongous". He was my 2M8TA clanmate in World of Tanks. His passing has broken the hearts of many in our clan and 2M8TO, our sister clan. His reach was worldwide as our members come from all over; it made it to me on the Gulf Coast of Texas. He is already sorely missed.
