Sad, and quite unexpected. I thought that he had overcome the health problems he was having. As did I. Very sad news indeed. Condolences to family and friends. |

I hope I wasn't too hard on the guy... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Dennis DogBytes was a good friend to me, ever helpful, one of my first moderators on SETIsupporters and it's successor. He always gave useful advice and council, and I'll miss him a lot. Cheers Dennis, for all your help, your humour and your friendship. You have mail. I will continue where I left off, in honor of Dennis. |

Dune Finkleberry sent his condolences also From Dune: I've been in shock over the passing of my (our) friend Dennis Peters AKA DogBytes. I'm still coming to terms over his death and am saddened to hear this news. Dennis was a straight shooter, who will be missed by myself & others. No words can convey my sadness. So to those who knew & loved the guy, I wish to convey my deepest condolences. |

I can't even begin to describe how sad i am about this news. Dennis was one of the kindest people to post here on seti. He never held back an opinion..his straight talking was often outrageous and hilarious. He bought real life to this message board and I know we shall all miss him. I remember when he was made a mod and I thought "oh my..this will be interesting" but he took it really seriously and tried so hard to be fair do a good job. It was a proud time for him to moderate the board where he has made so many good friends. Friends who he took the trouble to meet in real life. He stayed with us for Christmas a year ago, I am not sure he got over the shock of my kids...he wasn't a kid person :D but my son was sad to hear about his death too. He said "even though he was grumpy I still really liked him" I know that he was in a lot of pain and discomfort even then. I can't say how much he will be missed. There just aren't the words.

I know that he was in a lot of pain and discomfort even then. I'm guessing that his previous health problems played a role in his passing? Pretty sure he was a smoker and I am trying to quit right now (I'm having a lot of trouble with it, has a real hold on me), maybe he can remind us to try and take better care of ourselves so we can be around for each other in the years to come?
