Default Passing of Bruce Nichol - Talon Computer Services - 03-25-2007 , 06:38 PM






I have just learned that Bruce Nichol of Talon Computer Services
(Albury/NSW/Australia), a frequent contributor to this forum & long
time "pick" advocate, has passed away. He will be sorely missed

This is a bit of a shock. I used to work with Bruce at AWA in the old
days & have only recently resumed contact through this forum. Do you
have any more details?

Hi Ross
I am stunned the bugger was younger than me and at least as verbose. What
happened?
RIP

We heard a while back that he was in hospital with liver failure. He
came out in early February and we believed that he was recovering.
Whilst we have heard no details, we must assume that he had a relapse.

He will be very much missed by many of us.

Hi Martin
Thank you. It was his dedication to the QM product that made me look and
now you have come up withh something really unique in the PDA. So Bruce
affected my life quite strongly without ever knowing it.

It's such a weird and personal feeling when someone in this close-knit group
passes. I never met Bruce though I feel as though we were friends through
our years of exchanges in this forum. An electronic relationship, really,
but a significant one.

Perphaps I can just say that I feel close to all of the contributors in the
group and I want each of you to know that I care about you and wish you
well. Some of the petty 'hostility' is only natural in a family and doesn't
detract in the slightist for me.

Please take a moment to feel the warmth and know that I care about you.

Jeff
