In Memoriam

Sherwood Lumpington

Still five minutes late to this.

Borna sweltering day in 1935, probably
Died1959, rather abruptly
Causeperished mid-nap, mid-argument, and mid-sentence, in that order
Survived byA lifetime's worth of "I'll fix it later" projects

It is with great reluctance and a mild sense of déjà vu that we announce Sherwood Lumpington, aged 24. They kept a spreadsheet for something nobody understood the purpose of. They are survived by a group chat that refuses to be renamed in their memory.
