ResearchGuy or as many knew him from his Website and sig, Dr. Ken Umbach, passed away in December.

He was a valued member of our community, kind to many, endlessly patient and generous with his time, and always willing to offer help or advice.

He will be missed.

My condolences to the AW community and his friends/family if any are reading the thread. Just the guy's name makes me sad I didn't get to know him.

His posts were ones I'd stop to read when perusing threads for information.

Rest in peace.

Not where you last saw me.
Oh, no.

Same here, L.Y. I always looked for his posts. He was a favorite.

My condolences to his family.

How sorry I am to hear this. Like many of you, I nearly always paused to read his posts. My best thoughts are with his family.

Maryn, saddened
