that's heartbreaking. I hardly ever interacted with him but I totally benefited from his contributions here.

Rip you absolute legend

Danal helped and encouraged me when I was a new user of Duet and the Duet 3 board and was dealing with various frustrations. His calm tone reminded me of a personal policy that I had overlooked which is during times of frustration it's good to back off and cool off.
I had wanted to at some point inquire into Danal's aviation interests since I had built and flown a composite homebuilt airplane for 10 years but didn't get the chance. Seeing many of his posts on this forum and the Jubilee discord it's easy to see Danal was a people person willing to help and share. Goodbye kindred spirit.

Hard to believe it's been a year, both because it feels like it's been much longer than that and at the same like it was just the other day.

Can't believe it's a year. The forum has definitely felt slightly empty without his wisdom
