Sorry to hear this.Algy Pug wrote: ↑June 20th, 2022, 2:45 am More sad news.
I have just received a message from Cathy Riley, the wife of Peter Thomlinson (lurcherlover), that Peter passed away on 10th June, after a long battle with cancer.
Members will remember not only Peter's many recordings, which include some brilliant solo renditions of works by Edgar Wallace and Andy Adams, but also the technical advice and encouragement he so generously shared with other readers.
A great loss.
Algy, if you could possibly get his birth year, we'll add the info to his catalog name.
School fiction: David Blaize
America Exploration: The First Four Voyages of Amerigo Vespucci
Serial novel: The Wandering Jew
Medieval England meets Civil War Americans: Centuries Apart

Peter was born in 1940.
Thank you, Algy. I've added a paragraph about him in the first post.
Cheers, Ava.

We have received a note from Tom Hirsch's wife that sadly Tom (Thirsch on the forum) passed away a few weeks ago.

Oh, this is a great loss! I was DPL for one of his solos, and some collaborative projects. I will always remember his unique voice and the joy it was to work with him.knotyouraveragejo wrote: ↑January 4th, 2023, 10:03 pm We have received a note from Tom Hirsch's wife that sadly Tom (Thirsch on the forum) passed away a few weeks ago.
On the road again, so delays are possible

So sad, and such a shock. I was DPLing his last solo, and had wondered why he hadn't submitted a chapter in the last couple of months (as he was such a regular contributor).knotyouraveragejo wrote: ↑January 4th, 2023, 10:03 pm We have received a note from Tom Hirsch's wife that sadly Tom (Thirsch on the forum) passed away a few weeks ago.
My deep condolences to his loved ones,

We have received news that Richard Kilmer (rkilmer), a long-time reader, passed away last May:
"I wanted to let you know that my husband, RICHARD KILMER, died on May 13, 2022. He loved recording for Librivox so did I.
I am so thankful that we got the chance to experience it all. Keep up the good work!"

I'm familiar with Richard's voice for his contributions to the 12 volume set of The Pony Rider Boys series. He had a fantastically clear and dynamic voice, and produced a sizeable volume of work for Librivox (2948 sections on 172 projects) since he joined in June 2009. He will be missed.
I hope we have a way to forward these belated condolences to his family.
That said, May was quite awhile ago. Let this be a reminder to us all to give a few family members instructions how to contact Librivox if we become incapacitated or pass away. I suspect very few of us have personal friends on LV with whom we are in regular touch outside of LV. How do non-members contact Librivox?

And, those who are left are in mourning. Informing LibriVox in a timely manner may not be at the top of their mind right after someone has passed. Let's let people grieve, and inform us when the time is right for them.

I just wanted to say I feel it's a good thing and very professional to change the reader names to reflect the years of their lifetime. I feel this thread is an excellent idea also. It is good to see these things handled so well. It's a comfort to know.
