• RIP Jim Flynn

    From Andre Majorel@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 30 20:02:36 2018
    In case there are people left who, like me, read rgcde more
    often than the web forums, James F. Flynn has died at 66. To
    quote Lee :

    He suffered two strokes, the last of which occurred around 6.5
    years ago, and his health went steadily downhill. For the last
    six years, he had been living in a nursing home.

    Jim and I corresponded a fair bit over the years, first during
    the Boom project and later independently of TeamTNT. The last
    time we had spoken was in 2007, not too long after his first
    stroke. More recently, the lack of news and the disappearance of
    his home page got me worried.

    Jim was smart, wise, inventive and likeable. I have great esteem
    for the person he was and am very sad to see him go. The past
    few years must have been hard not just for Jim but also for
    Nancy, who took care of him.

    Goodbye Jim.

    You're welcome. Funny thing is, after asking about RasII in
    september 2016, I almost made a similar post about Jim.

    I hope Rasmus is in a more enviable situation.
