Grady Clay

We don't need a second thread here. I just wanted everyone in OT to see this thread in Tech that Grady is in the hospital:

Grady passed away today at home with his family. Incredibly sad news, we lost a great person today.

Wow. We lose folks here on the board from time to time. It's just the natural way of things, but it doesn't get any less surprising when it happens. I guess I still feel like we'll all live forever (only 43). I don't know how old Grady was, but what I know of him, it seems like he lived life more than many people do. My condolences to his family.

So sad to hear. At least his suffering is over but I'm sure that he is missed already.

Grady's posts were helpful, thorough, and professional. We were lucky to have had him for the time he honored us with his friendly and selfless presence.
