I’ve had a message from his daughter. It says, “I can’t believe he is gone, but I am so glad he got to meet amazing people like you and the CC community in his life- he rly enjoyed discussing the college admissions process.”
She asked me to send her a link to this thread. She thanks you all for the kind words so far.
I valued his perspectives on the political threads he moderated, but my favorite thread (which he started) was ‘your favorite live moments in rock/music’ thread. Like me, he loved music…the pandemic made many of us realize how important live music was in our lives.
I’ve been to some great concerts this year, and will post some highlights soon.
Yes, he had a number of fun threads like that. I sent some links to his family❤️
Fo some reason, this thread cracks me up and I think is classic mynameiswhatever. Skunks! DD and I need help
Oh my! I just read one of his posts recently (probably on the political thread), and chuckled again at his CC name, thinking he must have a great sense of humor. To those who know him or his family personally, please give extra hugs from the virtual family!
Wow…that’s sudden and scary! My heart goes out to his family.
May he rest in peace, and may his loved ones find peace in their time of grief.
Rest in peace. A stark reminder that any day could be our last. Live life to the fullest.
Prayers for Name’s family and loved ones left behind. I am sure he is now rejoicing with loved ones that went before.
Condolences to the family.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends and to all of us here who admired him and enjoyed his posts. RIP.
As a latecomer to CC - and never joining the political forum - I’ve only had few occasions to share a conversation with @mynameiswhatever. Still, his thought-out, well-founded messages made this name memorable to me. I’ve often thought I would enjoy meeting some day, to learn more about the person behind his insightful perspectives.
I’m glad he was able to see, and take pride in, his student’s path into a successful adult life, a worry that many parents share. My sincere condolences, foremost to his family in this difficult time - and also to many friends he clearly made here.
So very sad and sorry to hear this news. Condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed on this forum.
Very sad news. My condolences to his family and those who know him personally.
I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. May the memories he and his family (and CCers) be a comfort and a blessing. I’m glad his D is seeing the care and respect so many here felt for her dad.
May his posting history continue to be read and valued in the cc world, and his efforts in life be a source of comfort and blessing to his family and friends. He was clearly a light in this world to many people both in life and online. Such a positive reach is not always common. Peace be with him and his family.
So very sad…he was one of my favorite commenters on the Political Forum. He will be missed.
Sending prayers and wishes for peace to his family and friends.
So sorry to hear!
This is incredibly sad news. I enjoyed his posts in the politics forum, and appreciated his thoughts and insight. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him, here, there and everywhere.
