Wizard1956, Xiandi, HG Eliminator, Yrag, and all the others that were fixtures here at WinCustomize. I wish to say that you are missed, but not forgotten.
Also, I would wish Randy, aka Wizard 1956 a Happy Birthday in Heaven. Today would have been his birthday celebration............................................
Does anyone have a picture of HG Eliminator? Or any other that we have recently lost?

It's so sad and I didn't even know yrag has past too.
Me either! I knew that he had been sick and had some ongoing issues, but then I wasn't around for a while and obviously missed the news of his passing. And I really liked yrag, too. He made me laugh with his 'insults' and crazy sense of humour. Most of all, he helped me resolve a few PC issues and I learnt a lot, something I value and will not forget.
Am sorry to see all the people passing away. I've been with them for years. Most of us are old and sorry to say this will happen a lot in the days to come.
I must apologize about Yrag. I can't say with certainty that he has passed on.
I can say that when we last spoke, he was having health issues and making a lot of visits to the hospital. He no longer answers my emails, and my phone calls go to a dead number.
I guess I made an assumption on his part, and for that I apologize.
At the time of this post, I was distraught and saddened by the losses recently.
No worries, Jim. It has been an awful time with members passing, and yrag's illness and prolonged absence would suggest he too may have passed. I'd like to think not, and that he'd come back one day, though I fear it isn't likely.

Well, if I know Gary, mistaken reports of his death would surely bring his wrath down upon me, so I'll think of this thread as a "lure".
I just don't see Gary being absent this long unless there was an exceptional reason or that he'd passed. The fact that nobody has heard from him via phone, messenger or email in ages would also suggest it, because he was a sociable and friendly bloke who would have been in touch one way or another.
The last I heard from him was an email when he was in Hawaii for his daughter's wedding... he attached a few pics of the festivities.
Anyhow, let's hope we're all mistaken and the "lure" works.
and MySecret and Jazzilady.... both being great contributors to our community...
I hope yrag is ok....once I went back to the beginning of the first huge Word Association thread....and the repartee between he and Sugaree was so funny.... this forum has provided some fun times over the years...
and to all those who have disappeared over the years 
...hope you're doing ok....
All greatly missed.....
I've left Gary several phone messages over the past few years as we used to speak often by none have been answered...and our conversations ended around the time he was to go for a visit to John's Hopkins in MD...I've had not good feelings about that. Maybe WG has heard from him...
