The April 24, 2010 post in Neonate’s blog, “Winks and Blinks” says:
This is Grace, the daughter of neo.nate. My family and I regret to inform you that my father passed away on April 19, 2010. Thank you for taking an interest in his blog and his writings – it was one of the things that kept him going during his retirement. We miss him very much. RIP Dad.
I only knew Neonate online but I can say that I have been enriched by his participation in this blog. I will miss him too.
I looked at my blog archives and would you believe, Neonate’s comments covered 30 pages since 2005. He was one of the early participants in this blog.
