Awful awful news. Like many on here, Martin helped me out quite a few times. Not just with the mrpeach library, which has been incredibly useful for so many of us but also helping write original code in Pd & C to help problem solve a hardware interfacing issue (thread nr 100 posts, mainly the two of us going back'n'forth). Martin was endlessly calm, patient, knowledgeable and curious. Always a positive presence on here, he will be greatly missed. Am sure as a community that our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time.

Rest In Power indeed Mr.Peach

Sorry to bring this bad news and unfortunately I don't have much information. Derek Holzer posted on the facebook group the following "I just heard from one of his former students that Martin Peach has passed away. Rest In Power" and that is all I know.

In homage to him and his contribution to the community, I felt the need to make this announcement here, even though I did not know him or exchanged information with him directly.

Erin Gee, on the facebook group says "I loved him very much. He taught me everything I know about electronics. I feel the world is a little emptier knowing Martin is not with us anymore. Martin loved comets and outer space phenomena. The news of the new extremely large comet in recent days makes me think it is the cosmic resonance of his passing." _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Thanks, Alexandre, for being brave and let us know about his passing away. I read about it yesterday on IRC.

I never had the chance to meet him in person, but I had numerous pd- list conversations with him as most of the Pd projects I'm involved with use his externals, namely osc, binfile, net / iemnet (which is based on mrpeach/net). My pet project - netpd - wouldn't have emerged without his contributions. He always was very supportive and helped me get things going in various instances. In the vast fields of the internet with its many abysses, to this day I find the Pd community a sheltered place where fruitful exchange and honest dispute is the standard. He had an active and long-standing part in this. The greater is the loss for the community.

Rest in Peace, Martin Peach
