Your brilliant work on making the user "feel uncomfortable, and when he has bugs, suspect that the problem is DR-DOS and then go out to buy MS-DOS" was priceless. Thank you.

I just found this website earlier today. I didn't know Aaron had died and my heart goes out to his family and everyone who was close to him.
I wasn't going to add an entry, since I haven't seen Aaron in decades. But I find myself in shock a little bit and I keep remembering all the time our families spent together when we were kids. We had Fourth of July together every year at their house on the lake. We had Thanksgivings together. His dad was Uncle Jim to me. I have a photo of Uncle Jim and my dad about to set fire to a six foot tall paper effigy - that Jim made - of my dad. Jim's wearing a lava lava - a long skirt - and this was in the early sixties!
Aaron and I were buddies. We swam and goofed off together many summers. Our parents took the two of us to plays together. One time Aaron and I sneaked into the bathroom to "show you mine if you show me yours". We were very somber about this and both pledged not to giggle or be silly. My mom knocked at the bathroom door just about then. She told me later she'd heard the conversation and it was everything she could do not to laugh her head off as we came out looking extremely too-innocent.
I'm sorry Aaron's not on the planet. I hope he had a great life, and I hope all his family are able to think of him with more happiness than sorrow now.

Aaron was a recent client of ours. He was a person of amazing intensity, personality and candor. I will always remember a conversation we had wherein he told me, "I may not be able to do what you are doing for me in 'your' format, but I already know what the answer should be and will let you know if you got it right." I liked Aaron and will miss him.

Aaron was special to our entire family. We enjoyed his friendly smile and informative conversation the past ten years at the Mariners Spring training Games and tailgate parties in Arizona. We will miss his up to date reports and inside information on the Mariners. It was always a pleasure to be around such a generous and friendly person. We extend Gods Peace and Love to all his family and friends. May the many wonderful memories bring comfort to everyone.

Aaron,
The news of your passing came as such a shock to more people than you would have probably imagined. We all share many memories of you being such a nice guy. I will miss working with you and your visits to the office wearing your South Park and Napoleon Dynamite T-shirts. What I liked most about you was how simply you chose to live your life and how much you seemed to be yourself. I wish you peace always. My sincere condolences to all of the family and friends of Aaron. He was a wonderful man who will long be missed.

We were fortunate to have met Aaron through the Coulombe family. Although the moments spent with Aaron were few, we so enjoyed his presence, intelligence and sense of humor. Aaron, you will be missed.

Aaron was a special and interesting person. For ten years we visited with Aaron at Spring Training for the Mariners in Arizona. He was such a great fan and always kept us up on the inside information about the Mariners. He was very down to earth and friendly to everyone. We also saw him at the games in Seattle sometimes and he was always there rooting on his team. We will miss having him join us for tailgating, visiting next spring.

I had the pleasure of meeting Aaron in December. While my time knowing him was brief, the way his friends and family speak about him tells me that we've certainly lost a wonderful man, whether you met him or not.

For more than ten years Aaron was our next door neighbor. Always helpful, kind and generous especially with those special tools he found so neat to have like the pneumatic stapler we used putting our fences up. His gifts of software at the holidays always thrilled our kids. We enjoyed his presence at our Thanksgiving table and his sense of humor all year round. Our prayers are with Aaron and all his family.

I had only just met Aaron in January, after hearing about him the past 25 years or so from my sister-in-law, Andrea and my brother Ken. It was so wonderful to meet him finally and I thought he was a very special person.

You will be greatly missed, Aaron.

We have such fond memories of our times together in Redmond as well as Arizona. You were such a great "chef" and we so enjoyed the dinners and our visits together catching up with each other. What fun we had at Mariner Games with you and Mary. You are certainly the world's greatest Mariner fan and we are sure you are STILL cheering them on! You will be greatly missed, Aaron.
We want to extend our deepest sympathy to Mary and her children and also to Aaron's brother and sister.

We never got the chance to know you. It seemed like there was no need to rush, but now it's too late, and for that we're truly sorry.

You blessed us with the pleasure of your friendship over the past four years. You will leave a big void in our lives especially Sunday dinners and Holidays. No one will ever be allowed to call me his "culinary Momma" again. In Gods hands you will be peaceful Dear Aaron, and able to sleep again. Until we meet again,

During our vacation week, July 16, 2008, with our son Gregg Kurek, we spent many days with Aaron. He was a kind a gentle man and we are so sadden by his sudden death. We had a wonderful time at dinner with him on many nights, and will never forget the great game we were his guest at against our Boston Red Sox. He didn't even get upset when we cheered for the Red Sox instead of the Mariners. Knowing Aaron for the short time we knew him, we could tell he was a man everyone respected, and rightfully so.
Aaron, we just pray you are at peace now and we know that you are in God's hands. We will miss you deeply.
Sincerely
Sheila and Edward Fleming
