I don’t know how many people here will know him, but he did post here. We met on this board in 2000, at the first Vegas Dopefest. He embodied much of what is good on this board - intelligent, a wide variety of interests, and a twisted sense of humor. But especially, a great, accepting, and kind heart. Thank you to Cecil Adams and this board for bringing us together - he was the best thing in my life. The 18 years I had with him are by far the best years of my life. ---

Damn! He and I shared a love of ginger beverages. I’d recently recommended a non-alcoholic ginger cordial to him. I will miss him. ---
