As a new guy to these forums, I did not have the privilege to know the guy. But, it is so obvious that he was loved and respected by all he befriended and I am moved when I read the tributes. We should all be so lucky to be remembered in such a fond way when we have passed. I am sure my life would have been richer for knowing him.
At times like this I think of the people who I shall never see again and just wish I could have told them how I felt about them. So I guess I am trying to say, before its too late..... well, you know the rest.
Condolences to family and friends who mourn his passing.
