I can't put in words my sadness for this loss
He had been around subsim for so many years, it's hard to even try to imagine this place without him, his wit, his friendliness, his enthusiasm ...
Despite his declining health, all news from him we got via Neal in the last years showed always the same positive and friendly guy with a will to keep hanging on to all good things in life he liked.
Rest in peace my friend, until we meet again some day. It was great and enrichening to meet you. Salute!
