@docholihawk - One Year Gone

Fryowa said:
It's been exactly 1 year to the day since the last time @docholihawk posted on HN. A couple people here knew the guy was having some sort of really bad health problems and apparently it wasn't looking good for him at the time.

There was not a finer clown-hater in all the land, let's all raise a toast of whatever your poison is for @docholihawk, and spend a moment to post your own personal favorite clown hate moment, insult, or anecdote.

Rest in peace.[/QUOTE/]

So did anyone have a way to contact him? His profile is still intact. I just think maybe someone should reach out and see if he responds, or if anyone else does. It would be nice to know, maybe have some closure.

I and other people have PM’ed him, he confided in some posters here last year that his health was failing and it was to the point where he wasn’t able to post anymore. It sounded like whatever he had he said wasn’t going to get better.

I don’t want to sound obtuse, but someone’s profile being intact doesn’t mean they’re still around. People don’t go around and delete their accounts when something like that happens.

It’s creepy when Facebook reminds you of birthdays of friends who’ve passed. Even creepier when some of their other friends apparently aren’t aware they’re gone and post birthday greetings.
 
Miss having him around. Seemed like a good guy and I don't remember him ever having a beef with any poster. Just here to talk Hawks and socialize with other Hawk fans.

I've always wondered how many posters "vanish" because they passed. I had a scare last spring where I nearly bit it. I was resuscitated, spent some time in the hospital, (I'm perfectly fine now), but always wondered if something like that ever happened to any poster that just stopped posting.

I think most of them post the birthday greetings knowing their friends are dead. I always did. Back when I had a Facebook account.

I don't think you can delete an account.
