Yes, I do remember Jack, but didn't know much about him. I'm very sorry to
hear of his passing. Was he elderly?

Yes, I do remember him posting, though it's been some time since I saw the
name. Had he been ill? I'm assuming (bad thing to do, I know) that since
you know about this, you had kept in touch with him as a friend. If so, my
condolences for your loss, and for his family as well.

Nope, he was neither ill nor elderly - mid 50's. He had just had a clean
bill of health from his doctor last week and on Saturday afternoon he had a
massive heart attack. His wife performed CPR, but couldn't revive him. He
was such a great, kind man with an incredible knowledge of food.

He will be missed.

RIP, Mr. Curry!

That is so sad to hear. My condolences to his family and to all those
here who knew him.

My apologies for saying it was "peaceful". Massive heart attacks are
anything but.

A guy from afb sent me a note shortly afterwards. I was shocked. I'd
just had a great conversation (electronic) with him. So sad.
My heartfelt condolences to his family.

So, did his wife communicate this information to someone on
the internet? That's more than anyone I know would think to
do under the circumstances. How did you all find out?

I remember him, too. Does anyone know if the family has requested donations
to any particular charity/organization?

Small, perhaps inappropriate, question--how can one die peacefully in your
sleep yet die of a massive heart attack?

Was my mistake - heart attacks are not pleasant. Not sure if his family has
requested any particular donations.

Thanks. I found the information about donations, and an address was
included. Now I just have to remember to use his real name when I make it!

Instant death. Never know what hit you. Don't even wake up. Could be
worse. Hard on the survivors, though.

Pnuemonia is the easiest death...slowly you just get weaker and weaker
then fall asleep, fall unconious and finally just stop breathing. I got
as far as the falling asleep stage, wasn't half bad. Takes weeks. That's
why it is refered to as old folk's friend. Getting cured was a bitch.

My dad was out snowmobiling with friends. They took their snowmobiles to
one of the guys' house for a couple drinks. Dad took off his helmet,
stepped off the snowmobile, and went face first into the snow. Boom.
Gone. He didn't suffer a bit.

A man I know and his wife went on a cruise many years ago, perhaps
30 or 35. They loved to play bridge. John picked up a dream hand and
after a couple of rounds of bidding, found himself in a Grand Slam.
When he cashed trick number 13 and proudly said: "Seven bid and made",
he pitched forward and died. Let me assure you that he died a happy
man....... I know his wife.......

A little ischemia, a little arrhythmia, no blood to brain while asleep,
poof. Happened to my very old aunt, happened to a young patient of mine
(well, 40's) while napping in the tub. It is my personal vote for number
2 way to die. My number one is to be such a threat I'm killed in a car
bomb at age 89.

for my radical peanut sauce, of course.

I also wish to die violently.

At age 96, being shot by a jealous 21 year old husband.

Nope, different Jacks. At least we still have Schidt, I think! Where's he
been? Kinda makes you worry, doesn't it?

Yeah, just before this thread was started I was wondering where
Our Jack has been, I miss his humorous posts. Hope all is well
with him...

Jack was a much more frequent participant on alt.food.barbecue of late
than here. For those interested, there are a number of discussions on
that group as well.

yup, it was a sad day for a lot of us who conversed with him. Quite a
