Nick,

Thanks for posting the picture. It reminds me of how much fun we had kicking ideas and jokes around.

How very sad. To die so young.

Thanks guys, for all of the comments; much appreciated indeed. And the same goes for all future comments re Mac’s very sad passing.

We should also not forget Mac’s other (seldom-discussed) blog, which I found very entertaining:

Nick, et al,

My wife came running into my office a short time ago and asked me, “what was the matter?!”; apparently I had blurted something aloud as I read about Mac’s demise.

Like everyone else, I am taken aback by this inconceivable event. The emotions that erupt when someone so young has passed are acute!

One word is mulled over again and again–WHY?!

I did not know Mac personally, and only corresponded with him a time or two; however, I admired and respected him from afar. He was a sober, salient voice to this thing we call Ufology, and other things esoteric; his Mars research is beyond compare and his unique perspective and obvious intelligence was a breath of fresh air in contrast to all the noise that exists in our ether.

My condolences to his family and anyone who called him friend–the void left behind will always be present; however, the life of the man, will now live on, in the memory of us all . . .

Respectfully,
Frank Warren

And he had just turned 34!

I’ve never met the guy, but I really feel like I lost a personal friend (I had become a regular visitor of his blog recently). How I would have enjoyed to shake his hand and buy him a beer

Me too, Firkon. I’d been a faithful reader of his blog for years.

It was obvious what a great person Mac was. This is a terrible loss.

We conversed in email and on twitter. Always hoped that I’d meet him one day. Terribly sad.

Holy Shit! I’ve just gone into shock and am totally freaking out.

I’ve known Mac online for at least 5+ years and have met him twice. I’d bugged him about coming again to visit STL because those times we me, we had a very nice time and I know that though we were mostly e-friends we were friends nevertheless.

I thought his C2C interview was fantastic and I was really looking forward to reading The Cryptoterrestrials.

I’m wrecked. I’m just, really really wrecked and Iknow you guys are too.
