Re: Gary Birkett (aka lcuk) RIP
Well, lcuk, I guess you're really gone now. But I'm sure you'll stay with us, in the hearts and minds of those who knew you and saw your work, and in the bits and bytes of code you wrote, and...

Rest assured, Kathy, that even those like me who do not pray will be thankful for the words of hope and consolation of a Reverend they respect. Thanks for your involvement in our communities, btw.

36. Though - it doesn't matter how he died.
We've lost someone, a close friend and the family have lost a fiance and a father - reasons why it happened doesn't change anything about the fact....

Re: Gary Birkett RIP
Gary was a good friend and crazy - in the good way. He was happy to talk to anyone, present his ideas and to inspire - a true community person. I'll miss him.

This is very sad news indeed.
Gary was such a bundle of energy. All those ideas sprouting forward.
I will remember Gary very warmly.

Having only interacted with him via these forums, and limited at best, it is sad to learn of his passing. It is generally a skeleton crew that keeps communities like these alive, that contribute to...

I can't believe it, that is truly terrible news. Gary and I spent a lot of time chatting both online and in person at the Maemo and MeeGo events. Such a sad loss.

Re: Gary Birkett RIP
This is devastating. Gary was a founding member of this community. He and I were as close as two people a quarter of a planet away can be. I can't talk further yet. :(
