Some two-liner comments do not qualify as obituaries.
In Fidonet, we have a long tradition of respecting our fallen heroes. They are not "losers and suckers" here. From the top of my head, I remember:
Roy Witt (FNEWSW12)
Joe Delahay (FNEWSY40)
Bob Seaborn (FNEWSZ03)
Robert Bashe (FNEWSZ50)
Robert Nelson ((FNEWTA37)
And finally, two and a half years ago:
Holger Granholm

... where we contacted the family and even got a great article from his son. The ZC, the RC, the NC, and other sysops that had contacts with him contributed.
His family asked for a copy of the Fidonews issue.
This deteriorating respect is what saddens me. YMMV
