 JY> It is with the utmost regret that I relay this news:

 JY> Bennie Hutto, 1:3613/360, has left us forever.  He passed away last
 JY> night, peacefully, while sleeping, after a years-long battle with
 JY> chronic illness. Bennie was about 43, give or take a year, childless
 JY> and (I believe) had never married.

 JY> Bennie was a special friend of mine.  Lin and I were guests in his
 JY> home in Augusta, GA a couple of years ago as we passed through on the
 JY> way to visit family in North Carolina.  We talked often, at least
 JY> weekly, on the 'phone, our chats ranged from computer-techie stuff to
 JY> woodcutting, cooking to networking, and our respective dogs.

 JY> Funeral arrangements, etc., are unclear at this time as there has been
 JY> difficulty determining and locating any members of his family
 JY> excepting his mother, who lives in New Orleans.

 JY> Bennie was an asset to Fidonet and my friend; I will miss him very
 JY> much.
