MnFats has died

[dflprincess]

I don't know how many remember him, he hasn't posted here for a couple years and I'm afraid I also lost track of him. I knew about some of his health problems but not how bad things must have gotten.

I didn't want his passing to go unmentioned here.

1. How good of you to remember him, dflprincess...

It is always sad when we lose a member, whether they've been active or not.

You might want to post this in Ask the Administrators, so they can include him in our Memoriam Page.

May he rest in peace.

My condolences to his family and to all who knew him...

I remember him and reading his obituary reminds us that we never really know who we are communicating with here. A very impressive man. Peace to his family and friends.

10. Thank you for sharing this sad news.

I read his obituary; he sounds like a wonderful man. I particularly liked how he mentored others and wrote stories about people dealing with difficult challenges (plus crime reporter - cool!).

My condolences to those who lost him.
