I just found out a very long time friend who was active for over 18 yrs here passed away. He was a good man, great family man and brilliant writer. He will be missed.

RIP and condolences to those left behind.

always sad to lose a brilliant light. My condolences.

I grieve for those two users I had the warning signs of their demise, but never had confirmation. I have sympathy for your loss. For the loss of those he touched and had contact with. I sometimes reread those two games for days in a row really appreciating what they gave to me. My condolences.
