We'll Miss you, Grant

Grant Imahara's very much an Engineer, Maker, and inspiration to many of us and like the majority of us. Even his personal workbench looked little different to what I've seen from many members of the Community.

Many will remember him by his involvement in Mythbusters, others for his escapades in a fan made Star Trek series.

His passing is a sad and sore time for many of us here at the element14 Community.

GNU Grant Imahara.

He definitely did some cool work on Mythbusters. I'm not sure how I missed the White Rabbit Project , but may have to try to catch up on that.

This affected me a lot more than I thought it would. It might be because he was only a year older than me! But I loved Mythbusters, and I thought he brought a real energy and enthusiasm to everything he…

Definitely a sad thing to hear that Grant Imahara had passed away suddenly. I did see the news on the day it came out, and I felt it to be quite unfortunate as I had always enjoyed his work on Mythbusters. Having the chance to watch the video in full today really made it feel real. I don't think I've ever heard Adam Savage sound so affected ... so down. A difficult year for him indeed. The contrast is amazing - he's normally ever-the-jolly character. Definitely a fitting conversation to have, especially in the time of COVID-enforced isolation.

Adam's reminder was really poignant - "Just tell the people you love that you love them ... everybody, just do that. Tell them how important they are to you, tell them something that they gave you that was really special. I can't stress that enough. That has just been the most prevailing feeling I've had. It's like ... gratitude. Gratitude for the people and the love and the family and the friends that we have and it's really really important to demonstrate that."

Thanks for the link. It wasn't working for me on the original post. I threw the gremlins in the de-humidifier to get some of the water out. It is working now.
