R.I.P, Patrick Clancey.

I just got off the phone with the son of Patrick Clancey. Apparently he died in his sleep last weekend. For those of you who don't know, Patrick was my partner in crime at Hyperwar. We collaborated for nearly 20 years, but never laid eyes on each other. I will miss this man I never met.

 

Agreed. Now I have to make sure that his hard work lives on. That means finding someone to back me up on Hyperwar.

 

People touch us in so many ways, sometimes even those we've never met. I am so sorry about your friend.

 

Sad news.
HyperWar is an excellent resource.
Long may Patrick's work live on.

 

This is sad indeed.

 

The good thing is UNC houses Hyperwar and they are appreciative of how important it is. The items there will be available as long as ibiblio.org exists. I have to put up some sort of banner to advise people that he's gone and how to contact me. I hate messing with HTML.

 

This is terribly sad news indeed. RIP Patrick, and may your work carry you on further in our memories.

 

Sorry to hear about this. At least his work survives.

 

Yeah, and will continue. I think there will be a shift in the process somewhat, more emphasis on PDFs than before.

 

That at least is good news.

 

I will have to find a co-owner of my own now. That should be an interesting process.

 

Sorry to hear that OP. Both of you do such fine work. He will be sorely missed. I had just received an email in late Feb. I had volunteered to help with digitizing some of the Japanese Monograms. He told me he would get back to me in a few weeks but to be patient and keep the enthusiasm. I contacted him through the hyperwar feedback link so you should be able to find it. If you need me to do local research here in So. CA let me know.:flag_USAcryingeagle

 

My condolences on the loss of your friend, OP. It is good to know that HyperWar will continue on. I wish you well on your search for a co-owner. I don't envy you that process.

 

I hope he realized how much we, who use and rely on HyperWar, appreciated the hard work and effort put forth. Seeing his name at the bottom of the page let you know that someone personally took the time to see to it that these "Lessons" in History would never be lost.
RIP Mr. Clancey

 

Thanks, folks. I'm herding the volunteers over to Hyperwar-GHQ • Index page so we can organize and sort things out. Anybody who knows a volunteer, please pass this along.

 

We're covered. Ibiblio is very pleased with Hyperwar. And we have contributors working on new stuff.

Having said that I encourage anyone who wishes to do so to clone Hyperwar. There be no geas laid on ye with regard to what you keep of course.

 

Glad to hear that. Hyperwar is the site if you want to really research most aspects of WWII. There maybe other sites that cover a few of the details better but the wealth of period documents there is incredible.
