Very sad news to come back to I read his wisdom and his humour (in fairly equal measure) on a number of topics, but didn't have much direct contact with this gentleman of the forum. It's interesting that everyone 'connected' with him for various different reasons... it was a couple of years ago that I found that he shared my love of puzzles. As an example of his humour, his love of family, and how far off topic a thread can go, I'll give this link: http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60870&highlight=vinci+puzzle R.I.P my friend - we never did progress with the puzzles
I know I haven't posted (or visited) in awhile, but damn. That's really heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Goes to show, death comes to us all, whether we're ready or not. Surround yourself with a circle of friends and family and live life to the fullest.
****... It's not often that i'm speachless.. My brother, you will be sorely missed. I feel gutted that you never made it to OZ for some partying and boozing with your aussie brothers Badger and I. Dont' worry my friend, perfect that still for me, and when my time comes, I'll test your skill. See you soon brother, but not quite yet.
Could a Mod make this a sticky in the Off Topic Forum? I'm feeling awful about this atm. What a waste of a great bloke.
