I’ll soon be leaving for the funeral of my best friend, who also entered hospice last week. I can’t express my words for your sorrow Lucretia, but be sure that we empathize and offer whatever support we can summon, however feeble and inadequate, to help you get through this time of loss.
I’ve never met a Doper in real life, but there are many that I would like to. Nate/JC was at the top of the list. My condolences.
I am very sorry to hear of Jonathan Chance / Nate’s passing. I wish peace for him and all those affected by this loss.
2020, enough already. Very sorry to see this news.
My condolences to Nate’s family and friends.
Mine as well. There’s nothing original to be said, but he was a fine example of a human being and we’re all better for having known him, vicariously though it may have been.
My deepest sympathies to @Lucretia and Nate’s family and friends. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
I’m very sorry . .I liked him and he hid his dislike for me fairly well.
I am so sorry. He was a large part of many lives. He will be missed. May his memory give you comfort.
Aw Dammit…
My sincere condolences.
Dammit! He is one of my favorite reads–and I say that because his work here will be with us for a long time. My condolences to his family, both real-life, and online.
Tripler
I want to kick 2020 in the nuts.
Even when expected, losing a loved one is never easy.
Condolences to all his family and friends.
This is terrible. My condolences to all his family and friends. 
My heart breaks for JC’s family and friends. May his memory be for blessing.
I am sorry to hear this. He was loved.
My sympathies as well, to Lucretia and Nate’s family. Such sad news.
Oh no! How awful. Rest in Peace, JC.
I’d been dreading to see this. My sympathies to Lucretia, his family and friends.
I’m so sorry Lucretia, and to all of Nate’s family and friends. He is already missed.
My sincere condolences.
