Dear all
I¡¯m afraid I have some very sad news.
I¡¯be just received a phone call from Lou Trollope the better half
of
Jack passed away in his bed on Wednesday morning.
According to Lou, he had a massive heart attack and it was all
over within a couple minutes. She said he went the way he wanted
to go. In his bed and quickly.
There will be no funeral, he will be cremated and his ashes
returned to Lou.
He will leave a massive hole in my life, and will be sorely
missed.
I¡¯m not sure what else to say
--------------------------
Jack, as many know, was a very creative individual when it came to
micro/small layouts and many examples of that creativity can be
found in the various files of this groups and the affiliated
groups.? His Box Street Yard is perhaps one of the most popular
micros.? Jack was also a driving force behind the creation of the
original Small Layout Design Group on yahoo.? He always had
interesting comments to make and he will be missed.? Our condolences
go out to Lou and his family.
So Shortliner, from way up in the Highlands, RIP my friend.
