Rook Zimbabwe (Ralph) has passed away after suffering a series of strokes on the 25th
Far to young and way to humorous to go, will miss you Ralph! R.I.P

Yes, I seriously missed him as he didn't post here for a long time now. I just know him from the forum but he was a fun and nice guy... R.I.P indeed!

Is this for real?

That is terrible. Rook was a good guy. And way too young to go.

This really came as a shock!

But I don't think idle is a man to joke about this (I also now checked his Facebook page to confirm it).
May he rest in piece and I for one will sure miss him!

EDIT: How old did he get btw?

I wasn't known to Ralph on Facebook, but his page doesn't show anything about it here -> http://www.facebook.com/ralph.dunn1
I guess the announcement there is for friends only? Oh well. It's still sad anyway. He was a great guy.

This is truly shocking.

The PureBasic team could perhaps dedicate the 4.60 release to him, in the "About" box? Would be a nice tribute to his memory,
as he was a very vocal supporter of PureBasic and made a nice living from the software he created with it (point-of-sale systems).

Damn, that's a real shame. He seemed a nice guy.

Sad indeed!!

I only knew about him through reading some of his many great posts - clearly a loss to the community.

Damn! Seriously fucked up news! Loved Ralph and have known him online for many years from various communities! Crying like a bitch right now.

I was wondering why he hadn't post in a while. He will be missed. RIP.

That is very sad news. Always loved Rook's sense of humour on this forum. He made a very nice range of point-of-sale apps, I hope someone in his family can keep those going. It is scary that someone that young can suddenly lose their life. Depressing.
