After hearing the unfortunate news, I felt that the least I can do is to express my deep gratitude to the respected retired mentor for his passion for helping others, his informative replies, and the numerous pieces of advice he has generously shared. Moreover, reading some of his threads has been a humbling experience, highlighting the vast difference between his profound knowledge and those of us who are just beginning our academic careers. I am truly grateful for his selfless contributions and the altruistic work he has been doing.

By the way, I feel I need to add, that I am also grateful to his respectful manner of reply, which fortunately allowed me to talk with him freely without wearing any bullet-proof outfit, nor going to the of "flight-or-flight" mode while looking for an emergency exit. :biggrin:

I have just heard the news of @fresh_42 's mentor retirement now, as I've been off the grid working on my own projects (including studying French).

I want to wish @fresh_42 all the best on your future plans. Even though you may retire from active mentoring here on PF, I hope he can still visit from time to time!
