Never heard of him. A link to what he's accomplished might be beneficial. No pun intended but if nothing special is pointed out that he achieved in his lifetime, lets leave the orbituaries to the local newspapers so we don't confuse poeple in wondering who one might be. A google search proved fruitless for me cause there's a lot of people with that name.

Really? Not the only site I register to. But, this is the only site, where not one person has the consideration to offer condolences to a young family in mourning. YOU SNOTS. Deregister me now.

Actually, you are the one in the wrong. Naturally we all feel sorry for the family, but people die every day, harsh but true. You ask us all to specifically mourn this particular person, but don't tell us who he was or why we should.

And although we don't deregister people, you can feel absolutely free to not return. I am closing this post because you seem to be trying to make us do something without telling us why. And you have a bad attitude.

And http://www.monartech.com.au/01_profile.htm appears to be him. Still can't work out his importance outside the circle of his family and friends.
