Re: [dancer-users] Sad news regarding James Aitken (LoonyPandora),
Just found out the sad news that James is no longer with us.Got a reply to his email with the bad from one of his brothers in Manchester.We saw a lot of him socially around 2008/9 before he left Manchester for London and liked him a great deal. Could anyone please tell me what happened, where his funeral took place, did his estranged family find out in time and is there a grave to visit and pay our last respects? Sorry to drag up sad memories but don't want to hassle his family as they are still understandably very upset.Thanks,Richard.
Hi Richard, Last June (2014) James was hit by a car. After what appeared to be a successful recovery, his condition had gotten worse, and he passed away. He died last August. The story was shared on the mailing list and his ex organized a fundraiser for his funeral: http://gogetfunding.com/james-aitken-s-funeral/. David Precious (core dev, also on the list) has been a close friend and colleague of James. He could probably give you more information, although I'm not sure how much more information there is to provide. Sawyer. On Sun, Jun 21, 2015 at 2:54 PM, Richard James <richardjames6@sky.com> wrote:
