Very Sad News....RIP FaT Air

[fred555]

Wow, I don't know what to say. I am at a loss for words right now.
But I will try.
I am extremely saddened at the loss of such an esteemed,
helpful and knowledgeable member of this online community.

I also will remember him as an innovator and the inventor of the Fat Air Combo as well:

I do find solace in that one day, when I pass,
I will reunite with him in the great FTA shack in the sky and catch up on things.
I think his final post summarizes how I feel about his passing:

Rest in Peace my friend, you will be missed by all.

I've used his site many times when setting up a dish. It has to be one of, or maybe even the best site to use to set up a satellite dish. He will be missed. Best wishes to the family.

Really surprised to read of his passing at such a young age of 59. A good reminder to us all that its one day at a time. He was a wealth of information and willingly shared it.

RIP FAT AIR...

Although I never interacted with or knew him, we have the same last name. Weird!

This truly is sad news. I recall him helping me a number of times with issues I was having. He will truly be missed but never forgotten. Plus I too have accessed and used his site a number of times when trying to troubleshoot certain issues I may have been having at the time. He was just an all around great guy, very knowledgeable and very helpful.

May he rest in peace.

I knew that he lived within a half hour of my hometown (Grand Forks), and exchanged a few EMails. Really wanted to drop by during one of my infrequent visits to see relatives in the neighborhood, but it never happened because of rushed travel schedules when I was nearby. Given the independent R & D efforts that we both pursued, we were probably kindred spirits. A lesson to us all--life is short and we need to find time to pursue all possible chances to interact with others in our industry. May he rest in peace.

He was 1 year younger that I am. It sure sets you to thinking about your own life. We may lose the person, but not the knowledge they left behind or the memories of that person. FaT Air was one of the good guys. He will be missed.

He will truly be missed in this forum. Wish I had been given more time to have known him.
Rest in Peace Fat Air.
