Where is Kermit?

[Kermit Kiser]

Ordinarily I would not share social items on a technical list but this
information may impact NetRexx maintenance plans and I feel that the
list should not be left wondering what happened.

I recently returned from a three week hospital stay where I learned that
I had a serious infection that paralyzed the muscles in my left arm and
leg, also that I have diabetes and, most significantly, acute leukemia.

Doctors indicate that with standard chemotherapy the prognosis is not
good in my age bracket and they wish me to participate in a clinical trial.

If God wills that I should survive this situation, I hope to contribute
more to NetRexx in the future. It may be a while.

Thanks for your time,

-- Kermit

Hi Kermit,

thank You for this information (whil'st it is *bad NEWS*, *mostly for You*).

I think You did a *wonderful* job  enhancing NetRexx since it's open
source release.
Let me thank You for this, first.

Second, *take care of Your health*, I'm saying You *now*.

Personal HEALTH is the most important in *each individual LIVE* on this,
our *common Earth*, I think.
I hope all those medicine doctors and their wisdom shall help You quite
soon.

All the best for You, from my side.
I'm sure all others in this goup shall join me on this matter.

Thomas.

I would like to follow up for everyone. This is Kermits son and I am unfortunately writing this as my Father Passed away on 10/11/16 He loved programming and doing all of this stuff and I felt it would be best to let as many groups he was a part of know.

[Rony G. Flatscher (wu-wien)]

To the family:

very sorry to learn that this fine man has (for me totally unexpectedly) passed away! On May 7th, a couple of months ago, Kermit let us know ("The Kermit Update"), that thankfully his treatment turned out to had been successful.

His last e-mail to this list was from this October 6th only, discussing the next steps to undertake with NetRexx, full of future plans!

As far as I can say (I once met him in person on an International Rexx symposium) he has been a very brilliant, yet timid person who has always communicated in a constructive manner and who quietly, but steadily has worked on this list's project "NetRexx", which he has helped to proceed considerably!

Now that he is not able to contribute and participate anymore, he will be sorely missed for his technical knowledge and skills, but also for his personality, which had always been that of a helpful, constructive, kind human!

May Kermit rest in peace!
