R.I.P. Bernie

May 17, 2018 · in Uncategorized · · 76 · 7.7K

This is probably the wrong way to do this, so please forgive me. My good friend Bernie Hackett - who I "met" here on iModeler, passed away this past Monday, May 14. Bernie was a long-time iModeler guy who was full of fun, good humour, and a LOT of knowledge. He may not have done many models here, but he joked that his stash kept growing and he'd get to it soon. Just like me. I began talking with him by phone alittle over a year ago and have referred to him as my "Brother from another Mother." I never got to Baltimore to meet my friend, but I will miss him very much. I thank iModeler because I would never have "known" Bernie had we not "met" here.

We will miss you, Bernard E. Hackett, Jr!
