Thanks Wayne. I was the first person contacted by the Washoe County Public Administrator. Here's his email to me:
Mr. Hertsens,
Our office is handling the final affairs of Pow Chu Moy who passed away here in Reno, Nevada, on February 12, 2016. We do not know a lot about Mr. Moy, but we have his ‘HeadWize’ business card and saw your posts on a Forum in 2002 regarding same.
I would be interested in any observations you might have regarding Mr. Moy. Was he retired? Did you have a current email address for Mr. Moy? I realize you may have no personal knowledge, but it never hurts to ask.
Thank you
Frank Patten
Office Support Specialist
Washoe County Public Administrator
It so saddened me to get it, it seems he left us as a lonely man. I forwarded the email to Kevin thinking he might have more info.
Took me a week to realize he needed to be remembered out loud. I wrote the piece feeling mostly respect for his work.
Once I posted it and a few comments were in, I re-read the memorial holding the whole of our history in mind, and started crying.
I know it's the norm in the world, but it hurts so bad to feel we ended up with a broken community with such a mix of both good and bad.
Fractured factions sniping at each other, and the many who've had to flee HF when it should be something much better.
Chu probably hated what it had become.
*sigh*
