Terrible terrible news. He has been a solid and reliable member of this community for an age.
Sad sad news.
Was he sick? he was only posting here yesterday?
Not that knew of, I have been talking to him pretty much consistently for the last 6 months. He said he threw his back out last weekend.
I think it could have been how he lived, Diet and smoking. I have not heard yet what happened. It's just way to young to go, and with such a awesome future that would have come for him.
