Could you share any memories you have of Darth_Algar?

Asked by anniereborn (15567points) 1 month ago

Some of you may remember him. He was pretty active. He died in April of 21 and I was his wife. Today is his birthday. I’d love to hear anything you remember. It could be good or bad. I know he was a pain sometimes.

I remember his intelligent, thorough answers to questions that sometimes seemed opaque. He was a gem.

I often vehemently disagreed with him, and just as often vehemently agreed with him. I remember some times being startled by the depth of his intelligence.

I miss him here.

Happy Birthday where ever you are, Jeff! <3

@Candimajor and @Hawaii_Jake
Thank you for your memories. Yes, he was a very intelligent man.

I remember him as being sharply intelligent with a cutting wit. I learned he was passionate about photography. He did not suffer fools gladly.

I remember how intelligent his answers were and insightful too !

He had a personality that said, “I am who I am and I’m not going to apologize for it.” I wish I had more of that attitude.

I sure wish @Darth was still with us.
If I had the power to instantly heal with a single touch, I would have gone to Illinois as soon as I knew of his peril.

He was the only one who believed the premise of, and correctly answered my question about seeing Albert Einstein in person:

I also really appreciated his participation in this thread.

I miss his wit, wisdom and crankiness.

I never realized he was your husband, or knew that he passed. I always sincerely admired his intellect and his willingness to speak plainly about his opinions. Sending you a virtual hug.

Darth was very kind and supportive when my family was going through an emotional time back in 2017. It meant a lot to me because I was losing friends and family left and right at the time. I noticed when he spent less time on Fluther and messaged him to come back. He never did. He’s a great loss. <3

I just looked through my messages and one of them to @Darth was the Cowboy Code. A few were jokes. Intellect and humor are what I recall most, and of course, your relationship. I’m sorry for your loss, big hug.
