It is with heavy hearts that we announce the loss of a dear friend and member of our local gaming community.
As many of you know, William Douglas (Dougie) Cowart has been bravely battling cancer for the past four years. Yesterday, Sunday the 6th, he passed on, surrounded by loved ones.
Doug was loved by many, and never met a stranger. He created a space here at The Raven's Loft where friends could get together and play the games they love just like he did.
In honor of his memory, and to give our staff time to grieve and opportunity to attend his services, we will be closing early Wednesday (4pm) , all day Thursday, and reopening normal hours on Friday.
Thank you for all of your love and suppprt. Dougie loved our gaming community, and would want you all to share your love of a game with someone new, as he did with so many of us.
The link to his obituary, which includes details for his funeral and viewing, will be linked below.
Rest easy, Doug. We love you so much.
