[dancer-users] Sad news regarding James Aitken (LoonyPandora), Dancer contributor and pluign author

[Alexis Sukrieh]

Hi David, thanks for taking the time to share this bad news with the list.

That's a very sad news.

The paypal account recently received around 100 euros from a couple of
donators.

I'll give that money back for James' funeral, and will add a bit or two to
the pot.

I didn't know very well James but I remember a kind a pleasant person while
we discussed about Dancer. I'm sad he passed away in such an unexpected and
tragic way.

May the peace be with his soul.
