I didn’t know your husband, but recognize his name as someone I admired here at the SDMB. You have my deepest sympathies.
I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Padeye was a good, standup guy. RIP.
My heartfelt condolences, TheLadyLion.
Words can not express my sadness and my concern for you. You can already see from all the responses here that he was a great man, and one that we were all fortunate to know. The suddenness makes it all the harder to bear.

My thoughts and prayers for you and your husband, LadyLion.
I had an employee who passed away only 4 months ago under similar circumstances.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Cindy. Padeye was a well respected member of our community and will be dearly missed. May you find peace at this most difficult time.
I’m so sorry for your loss, LadyLion. I don’t know of any words that could comfort you - you’ll feel better someday, but I’m sure that doesn’t mean anything right now. Please keep coming here and getting it all out among sympathetic strangers if that would help at all.
Holy cow, looking back on his posts I’m remembering how often he’s made me crack up.
Most recently:
Damn. I am soooo going to use that line.
I’m so very sorry, LadyLion. It’s small consolation, I know, but it says something about him that he will be missed by so many people who never even met him.
I’ve received permission from SkipMagic to post details for a collection.
Former member Mauvaise has volunteered to buy the flowers and to see that they get to the service. Donations can be made by PayPal to mauvaise@gmail.com. I’ve already sent mine.
I’m also sorry for your loss. He was a great contributor to this board and I’m sure a great person. 
I am very sorry to hear this. My sincere condolences. He was a nice guy here, and funny too. He’ll be missed.
Padeye was a class act & a Gentleman.
TheLadyLion, I’m sorry for your troubles.
I’m posting this again since the announcement is on the previous page:

Mauvaise said that since the service is tomorrow she will try her best to get flowers. But if she can’t, then she will contact Cindy to see if there is a charity to which the money can be donated in Padeye’s name. She also wanted me to tell you that she will let Cindy know the names of all who contribute.
Deepest sympathies to you and everyone who loved him.
I’m so very sorry.
My condolences. I never met Padeye, but I always enjoyed and respected his posts.
Maybe I made a mistake?
There was no reply to my note and it is getting late, I hope **TheLadyLion ** can send me a note regarding the location of the memorial to my mailbox. I will try to send a message using a different mailbox.
Once again, I am deeply sorry for your loss Cindy.
I too lost a friend to liver disease this month. It sometimes happens so quickly… I dunno how much comfort the Dope can be in this terrible time, but I wish you solace and strength.
I’m so sorry Cindy. He seemed like a wonderful fellow. You and his loved ones will be in my thoughts.
