My condolences to his family and friends. I do remember the name even though I don’t think we ever had direct contact. He seemed like a fun and interesting person, and 54 is certainly far too young. ☹

Thank you for the update. Very sad.

I feel privileged to have met him (he came to our weekly Seattle trivia night a couple of years ago). Good guy.

Condolences and best wishes for family and friends.

If it isn’t too nosy, **wonderlust** , what was your relation to him? Relative? Friend IRL?

And, I’m sorry, even though I didn’t bump into him often.
