Awwwww... damn... Company's "Mac Guy" finally succumbs to his illnesses....

RIP John H. Worked for the same company for 47 years, was the "Mac Guy". Fought tooth and nail to keep Macs going in the technical documentation operation, building PDF's and an integrated system that was ahead of its time in the 90's for an online spare parts catalog, pushed back at the Evil Corporate IT industry. And single handedly ended up with Macs in the entire marketing department for content creation, video production, etc... He retired a few years ago but his medical issues finally defeated him (Dude had more processing capability in his various cardiac appliances than a Mac SE/30).

I provided him sideways support from the IT department and warnings of incoming Official Declarations that helped him over the years.

Rest Well, John. Say Hi to The Steve..

Very rarely does an IT department embrace MACs. John sounds like one of the few exceptions. So sorry for your loss.

Your work her is done, Mac Man. Rest easy, and enjoy that flying car they’ve been holding out on us all these years as you streak among the star stuff.

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
As of July 16, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now available by simply dialing 988. The previous number, 1-800-273-8255, will remain active.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
