R.I.P. JJMack

My father recently passed away. He was known here as JJMack. This community was a big part of his life. After retiring from IBM, this is where he would spend a great deal of his time trying to help people as best he could. His strength was figuring out how things work, communication was not. Despite this, he was able to amass 38,147 Posts, 9206 Likes, and most importantly 3437 solutions.

I'm sure his posts will live on and continue to help people. I work with Photoshop professionally myself and occasionally will research a problem I am having only to find a solution posted here by my father. In the future it will be bitter sweet when this happens again.

Goodbye, world.

My goodness. That came right out of the blue! JJ was a proper character and a bit of a hard case who was not afraid to challenge Adobe about the 'very occasional' bug. We'll miss him, but who is going to keep the Photoshop Development Team on their toes?

Of course, let's not forget how good a Santa JJ made - as he showed us just a few weeks ago 🙂

Gosh, so sorry to hear this. He was such an active contributor, and was always looking out for Adobe's customers... He last posted here only three weeks ago. He gave so much of his time, and it made a difference.

Our deepest condolences on your loss. It is our loss as well – he will be missed!
