This morning I learned that David Murphy, otherwise known as ‘drjolt’, passed away unexpectedly at the weekend. I knew Dave a number of years and had a lot of respect for him.
His passing has touched a great many people close to me and he will surely be missed.
DrJolt DrJolt where have you gone?
The chat room is silent and you’re not logged on.
Did you turn into packets and handshake with God?
Did you start work on Monday as alt.heaven’s new mod?
I remember you lit by the phosphorus light
of your beloved old screens as your worked through the night.
Did you know there were some who called you their hero?
They lie shocked and ask why, did your one turn to zero.
I don’t know who you are but I find those verses very touching. Thank you.
