He shared with the "team" that he was short of breath for several months now and feeling very weak. They thought it was pneumonia. But I guess it was his heart...?
A good man with a real dedication to this messageboard. What now, my forum friends?
I am truly shocked and saddened. He had such a sense of integrity and dedication when it came to this messageboard. In his life, as well, I expect. This is troubling news and a sad report.
Here is the address if you want to send his wife and family a card:(I think her name is Nancy?)

Ape any help or further directions from your team would be appreciated.
