RIP Jim Mackonochie


Wags

Recommended Posts

Yes, terribly sad. I bought the original Falcon on the Atari ST way back in the day ('89?). And I have bought every product Eagle Dynamics have made. So - even though I didn't know Jim - I owe him a debt of gratitude for countless hours of entertainment. I could never have been a fighter pilot, and Jim let me get as close to this dream as I'm ever likely to get.

 

He will be missed but his legacy will live on.

Jim ... May you live in the clear blue sky's forever! Rest Well My Friend! Thank you for everything you have done for ED and our community. May GOD comfort your family members and friends that you had to leave behind.

 

God Speed

S!

At least I had the fortunate opportunity to provide some good news to Jim when he was looking for reviews on Black Shark and I was able to forward him a very positive one in a Finnish gaming magazine. If only we could focus on rejoicing the life lived instead of mourning its end.

My condolences to his family & friends.

 

In the few dealings i had with him he came across as a kind and straight forward follow, a pleasure to work with.

 

Rest in peace.

My sincerest condolences to his family, all his friends, people that have personally known , and worked with him.

 

I feel very sorry.

 

He is really not someone that can be replaced in any kind of way... - I bet he was very proud to see that the offspring of a 'crazy idea' is still growing and thriving.
