My condolences to his family. I was only chatting with Brian in the last week or so on BBS echomail (yes, it still exists!). :( Another big loss to our ranks.

Terrible news.. I worked for a while with him at the UroNode source code. He did a lot. May he rest in piece.

So sad to hear, my thoughts are with his family and all that knew him well. I only just installed Uronode for the first time a month ago. How wonderful to have his legacy continue with all these nodes. Hopefully we can keep it going for many years to come.

Hello Brian,
Thank you for forwarding this on and very sad news indeed. A packet radio legend has passed and his expertise will be sorely missed. I did try to forward your email to his n1uro email list at uronode@n1uro.ampr.org but I haven't seen it post there yet. I do hope that his excellent uronode Linux packet radio software at https://sourceforge.net/projects/uronode/ and his other projects will continue to live on.

David, We will strive to have those projects live on as best we can. One of the EastNet officers has already spoke with the family and at the appropriate time after the service he will be helping the family work things out and go through his possessions. We are doing our best at this point to make backups of any data we can. We have already made contact with Chris at ARDC to appoint an interim 44 net coordinator for the states he covered and we are quickly working on solutions to create alternate AXIP links on the packet system. We are also working on a possible plan to move the packet equipment that was at his home to another site. Brian had mentioned to me for quite a few years that he was concerned what might happen should his health get worse. We tried to get some documents built for URONode but that did not get finished. Your pages for the CentOS system are probably one of the better sources we have at this time. One is never fully prepared for when these things happen. I sent a message to the URONode list but who knows which of my emails was subscribed to the list so it's likely that it I used the wrong one and it's awaiting moderation, which won't happen now. I will have to look through my email archives to see if I can figure out which of my accounts I should use. I tried to cover all the lists I could think of to make the announcement. I did not send to the BPQ or JNOS lists. If there are any others you think I should cover let me know.
