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.

Hi all,

Sadly, my friend and colleague James Aitken (LoonyPandora/JAITKEN), who
contributed to Dancer and wrote several Dancer plugins, died
unexpectedly last week.

He was hit by a car back in June and suffered head injuries, but had
mostly recovered - but then took a sudden turn for the worse, and passed
away last week.  Details as to exactly what happened are still sketchy
at this point.

Due to how unexpected it all was and the fact he has no immediate
family / next of kin, he will receive a very very basic state-funded
"pauper's funeral" unless enough money is raised to cover the cost of a
proper funeral - so his ex-girlfriend set up a fundraising page to
accept donations towards the cost:

http://gogetfunding.com/project/james-aitken-s-funeral

If you used his code and found it useful, and have a couple of quid to
spare, any donations would be very much appreciated.  If you cannot,
but he or his code made a difference to you, you can still leave a
comment there if you'd like.


Dave P
