The HPAA stopped carrying obituary announcements several years ago.

Instead, we found that it is much more effective to use the HP-related groups on Facebook. Group members then pass along memorial announcements via their personal email networks and Facebook contacts.

Reconnect, celebrate the good times, and appreciate those who have passed. There are many HP-related social groups on Facebook, including: HP, Agilent, Apollo, Avondale, Boise, Colorado, Compaq, Corvallis, Cupertino, DEC, EDS, Japan, Keysight, Medical, Midwest Sales, Norway, Response Center, Roseville, Santa Rosa, Southern California, Tandem, UK... Private, independent online forums operated and moderated by people from each community.
