I learned last Friday that NextStage friend and my friend, Kevin McBride, aka KBar, passed away. I learned from his wife. The news was unexpected. People who read this blog regularly know of KBar's many contributions. I first met Kevin when I worked for DEC. We left DEC when it went through the Compaq/HP and whatever it's morphed itself into now days change. We saw each other off and on, usually having a beer together every now and again, more often staying in touch with emails.
Kevin and I were fans of Warren Zevon. Kevin emailed me when Warren Zevon made public his terminal brain cancer. Kevin wrote "I've learned that I'm only immortal for a limited time."
Yes. Goodbye, Kevin.
So sorry to hear of his passing. I enjoyed some of the jokes of his that you passed along.
