It's with sadness of heart that I pass along the following news.
I've just learned of the passing of George Cryder, Delaware County
OHGenWeb webmaster. I have no further information at this time.
George, as many of you may know, was a founding member of OHGenWeb,
and was webmaster for the Delaware County OHGenWeb site since 22 Dec
1996. His presence and participation in genealogy will be sorely
missed, both online and offline.
___________________________________
In the interim, Dick Browning has been requested by George's wife, and
the president of the local society (with whom George worked very
closely), to handle the website and it's functions. Dick isn't a
newbie to webmastering; however he's expressed some concern about
stepping into a role of this size. I've assured him (I hope!) that any
question(s) put forth we'll help to answer -- he's taken a liking to
some of the features offered at a number of OHGenWeb county sites, and
may wish to do likewise with the Delaware County OHGenWeb site. Your
assistance would be most helpful.

I've passed along our condolences, via Dick, to the family in their
time of loss, and hope those who knew George will take a moment to
reflect on his time with us. He will be missed.
