Yes, sad to hear the news of Rafman passing.....

[PirateSWL]

WOW, very sad news. Didn't know him well but enjoyed chatting with him in chat. Definitely a great loss for the hobby and the website.

 Really Josh!?! This is what you post regarding the death of Chris Crosby?!? You must be saying my post is fake and a lie. How heartless and ignorant can you be??? Rafman was a well respected member here on HFU and I for one am offended by your ignorant comment.

We have lost a dear member of our community, and I think we would all appreciate it if this exchange goes no further.  Full stop.

If you follow the Forum Stats [More Stats] link you will see that the account tied to Rafman has been logged in far longer than any other HFU member.  There have been times when it was logged on for days at a time.  Most likely, this will remain the situation until some family member shuts things down.

Until then, let's keep the memories of our friend positive, in spite of our communal loss.

My apologies if anyone is offended by my response but I didn't appreciate someone trying to make light of this sad situation.

Here is an article from last year describing some of Rafman's technical background

My apologies if anyone is offended by my response but I didn't appreciate someone trying to make light of this sad situation.

I was just wondering why it showed him logged in is all.

Probably because someone is now in possession of his computer and is trying to sort out his affairs.  I'm sure Josh did not mean it to be an insult.  Calm down people, we all lost a dear friend and collegue.

May this be a call to action for a remembrance show.  If all my transmission gear wasn't torn apart for a rebuild, I'd do it.

Unfortunately I didn't know Rafman at all, but condolences to the family & RIP.

Very sad news, my sincere condolences to his family and friends.  Sad losing a member of our radio family here

I'm shocked. Very sad news. We just talked about two weeks ago. My heart felt condolences to his family.   RIP Rafman.  Very sad.
