Hello to all of my old friends at Axiom. It has been awhile since I last posted here.
I was informed early this evening that our good and great friend Jack Richard (Ajax) has passed.
Some background. Jack had a double lung transplant last January at age 71. This was necessary because he had a lung disease that, if left untreated, would eventually take his life.
The transplant went very well and the lungs had functioned beautifully since day one. The downside is the myriad of other issues that began to manifest and combined to take his life. There is no need to enumerate those issues here. Suffice it to say that Jack kept fighting those issues constantly until yesterday (he was found today).
He appears to have died very peacefully in his sleep of natural causes.
I met Jack on this forum in 2005 and he became one of the best friends I have ever had. I wanted to let you know the news because he regarded the Axiom forum and his friends here as family. He was gracious, giving and patient - always willing to help.
When I find out the arrangements, I will post them here.
R.I.P. Jack. I miss you, my good friend.
