Hello friends,
This is just to let you know that my husband, Lost in Space, or Pat, passed away after a very long bout of ill health. He died very peacefully at home in the gentlest way you can imagine. This was really a blessing as his illness (pulmonary fibrosis) can lead to a dreadful ending.
He affectionately referred to this as the Mac Geek Forum. Actually, our family depended on advice from you all for all sorts of things over the years. He did successfully get all the stuff from his old mac book pro to this newer mac book air. He couldn't get his music to transfer, or perhaps just play, I'm not sure. He finally told me it wasn't possible on this laptop.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know and thank you all for helping us out all these years. If I run into some kind of conundrum, I may post to you all. That's one of the things I forgot to ask him about...
Lost in Space spouse - Maggie

I'm so sorry to hear this. Thank you for letting us know. This is a strangely robust community for a bunch of people from all walks of life and backgrounds. Each member is a cherished part of the family. Each time we lose someone, I feel it far more than I expect I would or should.
Our forum software has been having problems and is being transitioned to a new platform. I fear we would have missed his absence in the transition. Many users are changing their names and posts are shuffled differently than we're accustomed to.

So sad… my sincere condolences.
I do recall him posting and asking for advice about transferring data and he mentioned an imminent medical condition. I was hoping it won’t be that soon… tears and sadness…
