A big loss. Such a friendly, kind person. I had numerous conversations

We all will miss Fred.  My condolences to his family and friends.  I had 
the pleasure of reviewing the draft of his first K3 manual.


I never had the pleasure of meeting him face to face, but we had many 
email exchanges.


I have a signed copy of his K3S and P3 manual that was a gift from Fred, 
and I will treasure it now more than ever before.

This just makes Fred's books that much more valuable. Now they're something
to remember him by, his legacy. As I usually do in such sad times, I will
remember Fred fondly, and read for him the Heart Sutra's culmination...

Gaté, gaté, paragaté, parasamgaté.
Bodhi!
Svaha!

(which means...)
Gone, gone, gone over, gone fully over.
Awakened!
So be it!

Fred, you will be missed.

2019-05-17 Thread Clay Autery
I hate to hear this.  He was a great asset to the hobby, and a nice 
man.  I never met him in person, but when I was BRAND NEW to 
Elecrafting, Fred took the time to answer all my questions... good and 
bad and I'm sure frustrating.  He never missed a beat or showed any 
hesitancy to help.  He even chatted with me on the phone once for a long 
time to make sure I had things straight.


He will be greatly missed.  I will be praying for his family. :-(
