Re: [PLUG] Fwd: First Celebration of CJ Fearnley, Dec 10th, 2022 at 2 PM eastern at Bartram's Garden

Thank you Walt. I’m still at a loss for words. I’m out of town until Christmas. CJ’s mentorship leaves me forever grateful. He helped me get my first Linux paying position. His positivity and enthusiasm is unmatched. He was truly a great human, and he genuinely cared for his fellow man. He never spoke Ill of anyone. I am blessed to have met CJ, and to have worked with him. I hope sometime down the road we can all get together and share stories.

Hi everyone,

I'm very sad to report that I just learned that PLUG's founder and
long-time leader CJ Fearnley passed away yesterday after a short
illness.

It's very short notice but his friends and family are going to gather
at Bartram's Garden this afternoon at 2 PM to celebrate CJ's
life. Details are in the forwarded email below.

I'm going to stop by at pay my respects. Hopefully I'll see some other
PLUG members there.

If you can't make it, they do say that they're planning a second
celebration for later.

Walt
