An associate living in a nearby regional city spotted a notification of the death of someone with the same name as a Mac User Group life member who was also in that same city. The notification was for a different person of the same name as the life member.
So my associate contacted the life member via email asking about his health and how someone else of the same name had joined the departed list.
To his surprise, the life member’s son answered the email saying that his father had indeed passed on a few days earlier. So this is the convoluted route by which we learned of the passing of a well-respected former member.
Three current members of the Mac User Group will attend his funeral.
