Carnak, aka Abby, has passed away.
The shocking news of Carnak (his name on this site) has passed away. I read the news of this on the other channels. I have no other details. He was always a giving person who would share his vast knowledge of HVAC with anyone.

My sincere condolences to his family.
I, as many have, had the opportunity to take advantage of his knowledge, which will be missed.
As a Canadian, who worked some time ago for a company with a branch/depot in Thunder Bay, I always felt a slight connection to him, even though he worked in the Caribbean. With Carnak in the Caymans and my wife, being from Barbados, this only added to the connection. I never had the opportunity to meet him like others did on this site, but I sure would have liked to.
Again, I hope those that were close to him can find some peace from the knowledge he was extremely well respected and liked with this forum

Details are sketchy at best, but it's been confirmed by a call to his office.
I would bet that in the next 24-48 hours details will be available via the internet concerning Murray.
I would watch Grand Cayman and Thunder Bay, Ont. news feeds.

I'm shocked and saddened. Murray and I exchanged emails and pm's occasionally but never met in person, though I wish I could have met him. I enjoyed his posts and sense of humor online, and his knowledge was well seasoned.
You will be sorely missed here at hvac-talk, Murray, as I'm sure those who knew you well will be grieving and missing you as well. R.I.P. and keep 'em cool up there!"In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
