We lost a member

Doug Zwit (dezwitinc) passed Saturday after a long battle with Amyloidosis. Don't really know what else to say, he was a great guy.

Link to obit.

Sad indeed.

I thought his posts were very informative

“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather, to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming…’Wow, what a ride!’” A eulogy to Harvey Ward at his funeral in 2004.

I remember Doug as a very kind and easy going guy. I am sorry to hear about this sad turn of events.

My condolences go out to Doug's family and friends. He has been missed around here.

Here is a link to a thread he started to talk about the disease:

We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities.

Does anyone know how old he was?

However old I'm sure that it was much to soon.

Funny how we only know some people here by their screen name and many of us will never meet, yet we feel somehow connected to each other.

57. There is a link to his obit on page one.

One problem with the present forum format is that links do not stand out very clearly.

If you bold face the url as I did in George's post they do quite well. But boldface inside the URL tag does not help. Click Here

I did meet Doug about a year after he fell ill. He had ask me to help some of his family that lives down here as he was no longer able. Much to my surprise he made the trip here to meet me. It was obviously a great effort for him at the time and I was truly touched. Doug did alot for me when he was an active member here. Hooked me up with FPL standards, FBC and a tester to name a few. Generous individuals are few and far between.

My prayers are with his family, sounds like a great person.
