It surprises me that you guys are this interested in someone you only know through Usenet. Have you guys ever met Pat in real life (IRL)? If it *is* Pat than he passed away relatively young at just 56. He posted here only a few days ago (September 24th). This has happened on other groups - there's someone who consistently makes intertesting posts - and you just get to expect them each day when you go in - in fact you go in each day and look for his posts - and suddenly they Larry Lippman.. -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 |

See my post dated Oct. 13 @ 10:01 am http://groups.google.com/group/sci.s...71ce7fa30b71c# There were no funeral arrangements at the time I called. Considering the fact that it was 10 days after the date of death reported in the on-line newspaper obit I presume there wasn't one. I requested my contact info be passed to his surviving brother. I have not heard from him either. Pat's email account is no longer working. Dave |

I checked other funeral homes in the area and also came up empty. Either this Pat Flannery had a very simple funeral, or his funeral arrangements were handled elsewhere. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Damn, this is awful news. I'd been away from Usenet for quite some time, and coming in, I saw this. Pat was always a pleasure to read, and over the years, one got a feeling about the kind of guy he was. A happy chap, with a wonderful sense of humour and wonder. I'm another guy who never got to meet him in RL, which is a loss. Sigh. Andre |

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Just to clarify, I called the funeral home on October 13th and they told me that Pat's body had been cremated, but there had been no funeral arrangements at that time. Since this was almost 2 weeks since the reported date of death in the on-line death notice it is not clear there ever was a funeral. The only surviving family is a brother whom I asked the funeral home to pass along both my condolences and my email contact. I have not heard back from him. Pat's email address is no longer working. The white pages telephone number listed on-line has been disconnected. There have been no postings from Pat since September 23-24. The reported date of death was October 3rd. The town paper that the on-line death notice was published, the Jamestown Sun of Jamestown, ND matches the same town as was reported by Pat himself as being his hometown (see earlier links on this thread). There are only two Flannery's listed in the white pages for Jamestown ND and only one Patrick. Dave |

Hmm, strikes me the proper way to remember Pat is if no one claims his ashes to claim them and get some into orbit. -- Greg D.

The proper way to honor Pat: *steal* his ashes. Mix some of them in with some paint. Load the mix into paintballs. Sneak into a launch facility and nail the upper stage of some booster preparing to launch a comsat into GEO. Prefarably a comstat scheduled to broadcast bad made-for-SyFy channel movies featuring scantily clad talentless actresses. It's what he would've wanted. |
