How many of our fallen legends have we not heard about?
Some drop off the platforms from just moving on with life.
At lest we know now that Kelvin has moved on to another place with some of the other fallen legends that are now in a better place where the computers are not slow and the programs are not full of bugs.
RIP

Thanks for letting us know @gupta9665 . That’s sad to hear. Kelvin has been a fixture in the online community for years - decades. He will be missed.

One of the nice thoughts of being an active member in forums or these spaces where we all can collectively work to solve problems, is that even after you’re gone, folks like Kelvin who have dedicated so much of their time on helping others, will live on in perpetuity with those interactions and advice. It’s a good reminder that each comment we make is a small legacy we leave.

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for getting word out, Deepak. I originally encountered Kelvin on the eng-tips board, where I found lots of helpful stuff a long time ago.

One of the first people I encountered on the long gone SW forum, probably close to 20 years ago. Always had good helpful advice. One of those guys where if I saw that he had responded to a question, I could be confident that it had been answered, and there was likely nothing of value I could add.
