Danal's passing
-
A close friend of mine passed away last December. He was a brilliant technologies with 100+ patents on his name and a home office full of machines and contraptions. It was interesting to watch how all of that valuable equipment has little value to the loving family left behind and the burden of disposing them. It's then that I realized that it's the person that gives the value to those machines, including our 3d contraption. From my brief interaction with Danal here, I believe that he gave value for a lot of things in his life and in multiple disciplines of technology and I respect it.

A sudden and early parting is the worst and I hope that Danal's values will carry forward in the communities and individuals he helped so much.
Does anyone know an address to send a print out of this thread to? It was a little joy to my Aunt to receive reminders of the people my Uncle influenced and helped. And how they planned to carry the things he cared about on.

@Baenwort No, but the link in the original post allows you to leave a message.

Just seeing this now. Couldn't have said it better than @poofjunior did. He helped me with a whole bunch of seemingly random parts of bigger projects since 2+ years ago, great guy, I don't have the words.

It’s sad news , RIP .

His presence on the forum and on the Jubilee Discord will be sorely missed. I interacted with Danal frequently on the Discord server, and he always brought a refreshing air to whatever he discussed. A truly wholesome and happy person who was an example in how to share knowledge and make the world a better place.
Rest in peace Danal.

that's heartbreaking. I hardly ever interacted with him but I totally benefited from his contributions here.
Rip you absolute legend

Danal helped and encouraged me when I was a new user of Duet and the Duet 3 board and was dealing with various frustrations. His calm tone reminded me of a personal policy that I had overlooked which is during times of frustration it's good to back off and cool off.
I had wanted to at some point inquire into Danal's aviation interests since I had built and flown a composite homebuilt airplane for 10 years but didn't get the chance. Seeing many of his posts on this forum and the Jubilee discord it's easy to see Danal was a people person willing to help and share. Goodbye kindred spirit. -
Hard to believe it's been a year, both because it feels like it's been much longer than that and at the same like it was just the other day.

Amen to that.

Can't believe it's a year. The forum has definitely felt slightly empty without his wisdom
Owns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is
