Just found out a reader from Durham was killed in a hit and run. RIP Seth Vidal. http://bit.ly/1bljzbI

I do not know if this is the same person who is regular here. I did not know him personally. The PLP video they link to features a nice guy on an Atlantis. (If not, my apologies for causing undue grief.)

Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.

OMG, that's horrible. Never met him but RIP nonetheless.

Wow. "... the car ... slowed quickly and swerved before hitting Vidal." Evil. Absolutely evil.

Seth sounds amazing, especially from Russ and Laura's film. 

[Michael Hechmer]

I'm speechless, but if anyone else on the list knows Seth personally please keep us informed.  Remembering his posts he seemed like a pretty mellow guy.  I'm just back from a great ride and was about to post why I love my Ram; now I don't have the heart for it.

What a terrible loss not just for us but for all.

Seth's contributions here were always positive.    Not surprising that he was also a prominent contributor in open source software community.     His death is tragic and the circumstances infuriating.

Man, this just took the wind out of my sails. 

Over the years, I've gotten to know many people on the various lists through their posts.  Seth and I traded private emails now and again, covered topics of bikes and life, and I've always enjoyed when we had a chance to chat.  Though I've never met him face-to-face, I really feel I've lost a friend. This has saddened me deeply.

Feel the same as justinaugust... am just sick to my stomach.  Decided to go through his photo's on flickr and was extremely humbled to see my Rambouillet tagged as one of his favorites: http://www.flickr.com/photos/skvidal/favorites/

Godspeed Seth.

[Allingham II, Thomas J]

My first Riv-friend as well – Seth very patiently helped me make the size decision on my first Rivendell.  Most generous with his time and experience.  Like Jim, I had some in-depth off-board correspondence with him from time to time, on topics as disparate as religion and touring.  I’ll miss his posts, and his pictures, and his advice.  Senseless.

Friends,

I am fortunate to have Seth as a real-world friend.  And, your comments are all spot-on - he's a great guy, an asset to all the communities in which he lived, and a fun friend who will be sorely missed.

I am heading over to his house now to take dinner.  I have printed your kind words (forgive me, trees) and will take them to his partner, Eunice.

   I wish to express here forgiveness and respect for All, and the person who apparently was driving the car . Regardless.  True forgiveness is unconditional , for it is true Love. We all give lip service to Love, but who among us really understands it depth, totality and omnipresence.  Further, who truly practices it with all before and of them in their life, regardless of causation ?

I forgive, for all are brothers and sisters. I'm not speaking of the limited perspective of human genetics, I am speaking of that which we are all of, Spirit. We are all Eternal beings .... of which our lives never truly end nor begin , the essential being that forever is . Unified .

I forgive all therefore , as I forgive all of myself. None of us are free from acts upon each other and ourselves which hurt deeply. To condemn any act of another, is to condemn oneself. We are all greater than this, and why it hurts so much when we do not forgive. The cuts that run deepest are those by our own hands. Regardless of what anyone or myself does, Love beckons because Love is All There Is.

Some of you may be are thinking, who is this person to write this in this time of pain ? 
I answer .... Who am I to not ?
When do the punisher's stop punishing themselves as another  ?
Now is the only time there is.
Have you noticed, there is only now ? Yesterday it was now, and tomorrow it will still be now when you look at the clock.

[Jay B]

horrible, horrible news. even in a group like this that brims with good people, I remember Seth as a great positive contributor to this li'l list of ours. my heart goes out to his family, loved ones, and friends.

[Andrew Letton]

So sad...
I'll be eying my rear view mirror a little more than usual this evening as I ride home with Seth and his family in my heart.
Be careful out there...

Awful news.

 Frustrating that they only charged the driver with felony hit and run and not vehicular homicide.  There was a hit and run that killed a bicyclist in Minneapolis last week and that driver was charged with criminal vehicular homicide - http://www.startribune.com/local/west/214795291.html

This is really sad. I never met Seth face to face but exchanged a few emails with him and consider him an integral member of our little community here and on Flickr. I was just looking at the last picture he posted to Flickr and it made me so sad. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I logged on tonight to ask for some problem solving help but it is no longer important. I saw Seth's name when reading posts but that was it, but I was immediately saddened to hear the news of his tragic death. Thanks to whoever posted his flickr link of favorite photos. I spent some time with them and they were delightful. I felt as if I got the opportunity to know Seth a bit and know that I would have enjoyed his company. My deepest sympathy goes out to his friends and family tonight.

[Shaun Meehan]

Like most here, I only knew Seth through his posts and the pictures that he shared. That's enough to understand that he was a great person. My condolences to Seth's family and friends.

I can't believe it. Seth is someone I have such respect for and hoped to meet one day... I am deeply saddened. Is there something we can do to honor him?

[justin...@gmail.com]

My younger brother passed away 2 years ago. He was an avid member of a truck modification group similar to the RBW group. His friends went as so far to as come to the memorial service for him. I'm not sure if that would be the most appropriate action but I think collecting donations for flowers or food to be delivered (a truly wonderful thing to have around in times of grief such as this) would be highly appropriate and a wonderful thing to do for his family. In moments like these discovering how many people a person has touched in their life was incredibly wonderful and part of the healing and acceptance process _for me_. I know each person is different but perhaps flowers or an edible arrangement would be a nice thing to have delivered.

Thoughts?

Like many of you my interactions with Seth were all on the group, or flicker or private emails, but those interactions were several, and were always positive. I work with software engineers that very well might be users of his tools. It is really heartbreaking to hear this news.

This has been hard news to take, and I know I'm not alone in being confused and disturbed and saddened by this.

 

There are a few groups of people in my life that I think of as family to varying degrees, and this is one of them. It's because of the consistently reliable input from people like Seth.

I will miss Seth.

 

I'd also like to thank Jack for sending messages from the forum to Seth's family. Even if it is only miniscule, I hope it can give them something. I'm still in shock and can't imagine how they feel.

The postcards that this group and others in the Riv world sent to my late friend Nick Cassell, were initially a source of great encouragement for him, and when he died, for his his family and friends.  His son arranged all the post cards on two panels that were prominently displayed at his memorial. The area was visited all through the memorial. I wonder if we could do something similar for Seth? Perhaps we could each send a favorite ride picture to show that Seth is in our thoughts? I am sure Grant would post something to reach the larger group. However, I am not in Durham, so I am not sure how this could be coordinated, so it is just a thought - like many others I feel some show of support is needed. Bob (Indianapolis)

You're welcome.  Everything that folks here have noted is true.  I know Seth enjoyed the owners bunch quite a bit - conversations from this group shifted to our lunch conversations on more than one occasion.  And talking about all of you was no different from talking about our IRL friends here in Durham.

I will keep all of you in the loop on goings-on here.  There will likely be several bike-related events, to be certain.  A first informal one is being hosted by a local shop that he frequented (one of many) this Sunday and there will be others.

If this group would like to coordinate something that would benefit from any on-the-ground activities, please don't hesitate to contact me.  Emailing me directly would be best, jack.warman at gmail.

So So sad I am at a loss for words.  I used to live in that neighborhood.

[Allingham II, Thomas J]

Me, too. 

[Philip Williamson]

I would like to send a postcard.

I like Bob Barr's postcard suggestion. What do you-all think? If some or many of us are willing to send a postcard, and if Jack Warman agrees that a postcard memorial sounds all right, perhaps Jack could post a mailing address here?

Yeah, it is a good idea.  Haven't seen any obituary in the Durham news yet.  But I did see that someone posted a news clip of his demise over at SlashDot.org.  Since he worked for an open source software company, that's a popular site for discussing OS such as Linux and the like.  'Course, the blog threads (like most of 'em on that blog site) immediately deteriorated into character slamming, name calling, and generous use of vulgar invectives over whether or not the driver was a criminal.  Ignore those remarks if you go there.

This is what drives people to become hermits.  A good person died.  Many other good people are out a good friend.  Save the petty bickering for later.

I lived in that neighborhood and biked on that road everyday for 3 years. So sad. Snashvilleo scary.

I think Seth was a great addition to this small world of RBW an to the broader universe.

May he rest in peace.

I never look at comments section, that is where the trolls live and I try to never feed the trolls.

Friends,

Some more info about the goings-on here and online.

First, the service for Seth is this Saturday at 11a ET at Clements Funeral Home 1105 Broad St., Durham, NC.  You can leave remembrances for Seth on Clements site:

http://www.clementsfuneralservice.com/memsol.cgi?user_id=1032792

Seth's partner, Eunice, told me "the remembrances are helping," so I encourage all of you to share the kind words you've posted here with his family through Clements' site.  In addition to their being able to see them now during this difficult time, they will also be able to view them later when they have left Durham for home.

Also, I told Eunice that many of you wanted to be in touch, and she gave the thumbs up for sharing their physical address.  Honestly, you could get it on your own via the Google machine, but please know that she's comfortable hearing from any of you who are interested in sending a postcard or other sort of note.

Ms. Eunice Chang
2309 Woodrow St
Durham , NC 27705

A local shop that Seth frequented has a monthly ride that he and Eunice often joined, and as the ride is the second Sunday of the month, it happens to hit this weekend and is in Seth's honor.  Looks to be much bigger than normal this month. Come if you can.

And, the Fedora Project website has a nice Seth tribute up on their homepage:

Thanks again for all the kind words about Seth, and the great vibes sent my direction as well. It's been a difficult week, but its been buffered substantially by the tremendous outpouring of love that have been shown to Seth's family and friends from all of the many communities in which he was active.

Best
Jack

My best thoughts and heart go out to his family.  It is sad to lose an enthusiast like this.

How sad.  I have only known him through this group and flickr, but feel really saddened by his death.
