This came through the admin list, as Portia is not subscribed Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Portia Hunt" <pkawaii@hotmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 7:41 PM Subject: from Portia Hunt Dear listserve peoples, I am now and have been for almost two weeks at the unpleasant task of contacting people that knew my Dad (Newton Hunt) or that are close to me to tell them that he passed away very suddenly a little less than two weeks ago. He had been put on medication for a heart/circulation problem that had the side effect of draining him of all his energy. In combination with his predisposition to severe depression, this caused him to take his own life sometime the week of November 18th. He was found by his upstairs tenent, who was concerned that my dad's mail had been piling up. As you may know, my dad and I were very close and this is quite devastating. There was a really lovely memorial service last Monday night, and there was a great turnout! It was very comforting to see that so many people loved my dad. I knew that my dad had a very special relationship with his computer and that he enjoyed corresponding with you all immensely. Hearing that there were many tributes to him posted on those lists, I set to the task of compiling them and printing them out. I want to thank you all for those! They were quite heartwarming. Sincerely, Portia Hunt _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
