Not really trying to bump this, but having been away so long, I hadn't heard and I wanted to pay my respects.
It's strange that I feel such a loss for someone I never met or really got to know. I think it's probably because he was one of the few that posted in such away that made you feel like he cared about was going on in your world.
Every post was carefully crafted, making each line a piece of art, even if it was a simple word game. I had a great deal of respect for that.
You'll truly be missed.
RIP
