Adam Delafield

I've been a member of this list since it started, purely to make sure it
was 
working correctly, as it was one of the first ones we set up here. Adam
was 
the administrator and did all the work and to be honest I don't know 
anything about Full Thrust other than Adams interest in it.

I have however been extremely moved by the comments that have been
posted 
since Jon notified the list of the sad news and I thought that you might

wish to know a little about Adam as I presume you all only knew him 
through the list. In the circumstances I don't think it is appropriate
to 
give an address for cards but I will make sure that his parents and
brother 
are aware of your condolences.

Adam was 26 years of age and died of pneumonia on either Thursday or
Friday 
last week. He lived alone and was found by his father in bed. He had
been 
at work on Wednesday and was obviously suffering from either flu or a
very 
bad cold. It was therefore no surprise when he phoned in sick on
Thursday but 
it honestly did not appear to be any more serious than that. It was a
great 
shock when we received the phone call from his parents on Monday
morning.

Adam and I first met in 1990 when we were both students, he was a quiet
person,
but had a very quick, dry sense of humour and was always ready to go on
any 
office outing and invariably was one of the last ones to go home.

He was a very nice person and will be sadly missed.

As far as the mailing list is concerned Jon will take over as
administrator 
initially and as he says he will see how it goes.
