[DUnit-interest] Vale Peter McNab

[Glenn C. <gl...@es...>]

From: Don Macrae [mailto:do...@xp...] 

Hi All..

Mark Brooks just let me know that Peter died last Tuesday.
He was only 64, but has been struggling with leukemia for some time.

This is very sad. Peter was the personification of irrepressible. A 
practical joker and a repository of hammy jokes and stories which he 
himself enjoyed to the max! He was most proud of the time he and others 
inflated a weather balloon in a senior manager's office, through a 
window. The office door became strangely resistant to attempts to open 
it! He has been a frequent poster to this list, both asking and 
answering questions. Not a man who had a clue about idleness, he was 
very dedicated to programming, and the odd bit of hardware construction. 
In recent times He was responsible for creating DUnit2 - and this was in 
his supposed retirement!

Peter and I worked together for quite some time, and we had our 
differences, but they were merely technical. I always took my hat off to 
him for his vitality and commitment. A real character and a man of 
integrity.

Bye Pete!

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the information. I was afraid to hear sad news like this about Peter. 

Send my regards to his family if you have a chance to contact them. Maybe a few hundred greetings from all over the world will cheer them up a bit.

All the best

Thanks for passing on this news, Glenn, albeit very sad. I'm all but 
inactive with this group and I don't believe I ever interacted with 
Peter, but I certainly recognized his name from posts to this list. Sad 
news, indeed.

Pete was very enthusiastic about the work we've done in this group, but his
illness made him stay away frequently, sometimes for long periods of time.

Please pass my regards to Pete's family.
