Auf Gefallen Kameraden

[Adam]

In the early hours of Tuesday, Australian Eastern Standard Time, Newbie, a member of this board passed away after a brief but intense struggle with a terminal illness.

He is survived by his wife and children.

[Dénes Bernád]

This is a shocking news. I remember his recent questions regarding Heinkel seaplanes.

May he rest in peace.

[Ruy Horta]

That is very unfortunate, I am very sorry to hear that he passed away so quickly.

His family and friends have my sympathy.

[George Hopp]

Thank you for passing on this information -- sad as it is. Far too often, Internet friends simply disappear into the ether, never to be heard from again.

[John Beaman]

It is indeed sad about his passing.

Perhaps these passings, hopefully infrequent, can serve to remind us all about the fragilness of life, our "internet friends" and why we should treasure them. Be nice and cool, for tomorrow may bring something totally unexpected.

[Martin Gleeson]

I am sorry to learn of the passing of a colleague. My condolences to his wife and children.

However would someone please put up his real name ? I would not like to be remembered solely by my nickname.

Martin Gleeson.
