Samurai MV - In Memoriam Martin Vipas

'Samurai MV' has been set up in honour and in memory of Martin Vipas, a friend and team mate who sadly left us in March 2007. Martin suffered from Cystic Fibrosis and yet never let that impede a full and active life. He was genuinely one of the kindest and most helpful people we ever had the fortune to meet and play alongside. Martin will be sadly missed and our condolences go out to all that were lucky enough to know him.

'Samurai MV' is a squad developed specifically to encourage new players into the sport of paintball. Currently Samurai MV play a variety of events and train alongside the Samurai Div 1 squad. Offering a natural progression for players who wish to develop their game to the highest standard. The original Samurai squad started out with little to no tournament experience, and Samurai MV is our way of helping others to develop and progress their game, no matter what their level of experience. For more details on the squad please visit the Samurai MV section of our forums.

Jon Owen LIPS (p8ntballer-forums.com) Our deepest sympathy goes out to Martins family he was a good guy with a fantastic attitude towards life he was a good friend who we will sadly miss. all the best Jon Owen and Chris Lacey ____________________________________________________ AndyDane (p8ntballer-forums.com) Had a friend that suffered from CF pass away a year ago, even though people know of the condition it still doesn't prepare you for the shock of them passing away. My deepest sympathies go to everyone who knew him, friends and family. Andy ____________________________________________________ Beaker (p8ntballer-forums.com) TendringLOEB has just mentioned this thread to me as Martin and I played together on Thunder many moons ago. I knew Martin well back then but had only seen him once at an NSPL at Reading last year in recent times, so to hear this was a shock. He joined Thunder as a fresh faced new player with bags of enthusiasm and desire to play the game he had fallen in love with. I never knew of Martin's condition playing on the field, he was a kind friend and as Rob says, a true nice guy off it. A good teammate and will be sorely missed by those who knew him. R.I.P. ____________________________________________________ Magic_8ball (p8ntballer-forums.com) John's already offered the condolences of the entire team, but I just wanted to say something myself as I met him a few times and he really was a genuinely good bloke.

Thank you for spending the time you had with us as your present always brings a smile to all the team players. You were also such a great player and we all will remember and missed you.
