    Default A truly great man passed on (GW1)

    to all of those that knew grant walker (GW1) i am sad to say that he passed on last night aged 40

    very few of us knew he was so sick and in true GW1 form he didnt want many to know

    grant was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer about a month ago and things progressed very quickly

    he was one of the most honest and genuine people that anyone could meet and i,m glad that i was his friend and more importantly had the honour of being called a friend by him

    his knowledge in any field he undertook was never beaten by anyone in any aspect and he was always the first one to put his hand up to give a hand or to put money in the hat when needed
    he thought of others before he thought of himself and more often than not to his own detriment

    his honesty was bar none in a world of people that could only wish they had half of his integrity

    to grant wherever you are you will be making people smile and if it needs fixing you,ll have it taken apart and put back together in no time at all

    goodbye my good friend
    we will meet again

    Damn! We've lost a bloody legend. I learned to take whatever gw1 said as gospel. He was one of a rare breed that knew his shit and was always helping out here on Austech.

    Go in peace mate.

    This is very sad news He mentioned in a support email recently that he hadnt been well but I didnt realise the extent of his illness. He was someone who always had something informative to say and I am sure many of us will miss his posts. Aaeeon.1 has I think described him well.

    A sad day.

    Shocked...he was a fountain of knowledge on Sat and encryption matters...

    At 40...it just not fair.

    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    I noticed he'd been quiet on the forum lately and now we know why. I always enjoyed reading his informative posts.
    My sincere condolences to all his family and friends.

    Grant (GW1),
    I was shocked to find out the day I did and am more shocked to find out how quickly you passed buddy.....I never had the honour of meeting you in person however I did know the kind of fellow you were and my warmest wishes go out to your family and whom you left behind.

    It is with Great RESPECT i reply to this and hope all is well on the other side.

    Until We Meet in the afterlife buddy.

    Dave

    Im shocked at this bad news, to die that quickly and at 40 is way too young.

    May he rest in peace.

    My condolences to his family.
