I've received a sad email from the family of Merlyn, which I'll repeat here:
Just wanted to let you know about Merlyn.
Steve died suddenly in April when his activity stoped. All his computer equipment was dismantled and that is why the family did not know who to tell.
It was a sudden unexpected death
We did not know what steve did with all those computers or what societies he belonged to, so if you know please pass on this message.
Thank you
Family
Merlyn wasn't a UBT forum member, but he was a very active member of The Scottish BOINC Team....until about Apirl 2011, when his BOINC activity ceased unexpectedly.
(website is here: http://www.dunadd.co.uk/seti/forum/
Their forum members were aware of Steve's passing).
There is also a thread in the Team Cafe section, which I've made as an "announcement", so that team members can read Mike's original message.
I'll pass on the teams collective condolences to the family, as they emailed me directly yesterday.
You can do so too directly, if you send a PM to "Merlyn2" who is a new member here (set up by the family).
regards
Tim
