Hugh's obit is on the last page of the original thread. He was 67 years old.
It does seem unusual that he never mentioned his illness. His last post was on 13 Oct 09, ten days before his passing. I can understand that he would not want to turn this forum into the Hugh MacKay Death Watch Board but it would have been nice for all of us to say goodbye. And it would have lifted his spirits in the last few days.
I now presume that his absence for the first 10 days in September was not due to a computer problem. He must have been in a hospital.
All-in-all, it seems like his illness had a rapid onset. Not a bad way to go as the suffering is minimal and one gets to wrap up one's life in an orderly manner.
He was a mainstay on this board averaging over 5 posts per day. I doubt if anyone else here could have elicited such a large response to his death notice. I hope his family takes comfort in that.
