I don't know if you would remember me (I used to go by Hochopepa), but I certainly remember you and your contributions very fondly. While it's regrettable that so many of us stopped visiting the site, I think you certainly did so for the right reasons and I don't think saying goodbye now makes a difference to that.
I'm so sorry to hear about your wife, for what it is worth the two of you are in my thoughts.
