[Hissyspit]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

[NRaleighLiberal]

[kentuck]

[Dustlawyer]

39. I agree with him 100%!!! Sad he won't be here to see Bernie win!

I wish we could organize people to show up at campaign events with 2 signs, 1 with the latest total for how much money the candidate raised, and 2, a question, "What do you have to do for that money?"
He will be missed!

[L0oniX]

[ananda]

21. Sigh.

We have lost so many dear DU friends lately.

[Mnemosyne]

22. ...

[SoapBox]

23. Terrible...

I just sent a simple sentence of my condolences (for JPR)...in the OP of the notice of his passing, there is a link to the mortuary, where you can send such.

Long term DUer's might have more to share with his family.

Did I miss any of the same for Xchrom?

It's a very sad week.

[Hotler]

47. Xchrom passed in North Carolina and...

his family took home to California were he was from. No service in N.C. There may have been a mermorial for him by his friends in N.C.

[loudsue]

56. What happened to xchrom??

This is too sad. I just got back from out of town, and I knew nothing of either JackpineRadical or Xchrom's passing. This is too hard.

[Hotler]

76. He had some health issues and passed May 1, 2015. There is a thread in GD and

in Weekend Economics in the Economy Group. The thread in GD is probably a couple of pages down you have to look for it.

[loudsue]

80. I mean, what killed him?

I didn't know he was sick. I didn't know JackpineRadical was sick either.

[love_katz]

24. ...

[sinkingfeeling]

25. Sad week on DU. Such losses of both.

[dballance]

26. Very sad week.

They will be missed.

When I saw either of them on an OP OR a reply I knew wanted to read it.

[glinda]

27. ...

[mmonk]

28. Yeah. It's been very depressing.

I have busy going through a housing demolition due to water damage. To have to come back and see their passing is tough. I remember a while back, someone asked me about Xchrom (where was he since I probably live 20 miles from he did). I had no idea it would lead to news he passed. And now, JackpineRadical. Sad.

[Initech]

89. Yeah I know. I hear that.

One of my coworkers in real life died of a heart attack a few weeks ago - it was really sudden and unexpected, and it's been really quiet where I work. This is definitely not something that's easy to deal with here or in real life.

[hifiguy]

[TBF]

30. These are very tough losses.

[Half-Century Man]

[yewberry]

54. Terrible losses. I'm going to add our friend Systematic Chaos, who passed last week.

All friends who will be missed.

[Autumn]

57. Oh no. I missed hearing that. My husband was in the hospital

and I peeked in from time to time but missed a lot.

[Dont call me Shirley]

87. Systematic Chaos...

[dhill926]

55. Really shocking and sad…

would always read their posts. Sensible good people, now sadly gone.

[JimDandy]

59. Both great DUers. I will miss their thoughtful posts.

Their permanently dormant profiles leave me feeling so bereft.

[countryjake]

67. Here's a sad kick...

I've just found out about Jackpine and I'm totally stunned. On here so busily typing away and I almost missed the saddest news of the day.

There aren't any words for how very sorry I feel right now.

[2naSalit]

81. Just WOW!

I have been working in a remote out-of-service-range location for a while and was trying to catch up on things... I am so sad to hear about both passing! Good grief!

I liked both of these members, I will miss them both.

[adirondacker]

91. Same here.

I can log in very infrequently, and just did so before a long upcoming outage (until September)
Such sad news.


Hope all is well.

[2naSalit]

92. I didn't know how to tell you

about it, and wasn't sure if you had internet access.

Sent you a note via snail mail but it was before all this happened.

indeed.

[rhett o rick]

84. Best wishes to their families. DU will miss them.

[lonestarnot]

85. Xchrom too? Wow.

[LongTomH]

86. ............

[AikidoSoul]

88. They gave much, and we thank them for investing so much time and energy

to educate and stimulate us.

They were both favorites of mine and I will never forget them.

In honor of JackpineRadical, I have adopted his minimalist graphic redition of Bernie.

May they both haunt our souls for as long as we live.










Note: I tried to make JackPineRadical's "I'm for the fringe" image my signature in my profile, but it doesn't seem to take. It did work once for the first try, but not with the second post. When I saw the preview for the second post it was missing. I had entered the URL from one of MadFloridian's posts to my profile for the sig for the first one, but it only worked once...and now I had to do the same thing for this post. Anyone willing to teach me how to make it permanent?

[ladyVet]

90. Too many, too soon.
