Turns out his email account was hacked and the email I received was bogus.

Des Lives!!!



Ladies and gentlemen, I am very sad to pass along the news that our Thread Brother, DivePac88, lost his long fight with illness on November 28, 2011.

He was a special person, always full of good humor and wit. I never met him in person, but I know I am not the only one around these parts who called him friend.

Fair winds, Des!

May you rest in peace, mate.

As I learned a lot from DivePac88's posts, and he was very helpful with us NOOB's.

Also he was a very funny Guy sometimes, and could make someone choke on there coffee.

Be at peace Des.

Marc.

I found him a generous and charming opponent.

The grammer and sentence structure might be a little less than perfect, but the thought is utterly flawless.

Rest in Peace DivePac88.
