    He contacted me about 9 years ago offering up Free Geek for my wife and I to hold an engagement party. We never ended up doing it, but I was very grateful for the offer. I went in last year to donate our old computer and saw a banner with his name on it as he was celebrating 10 years there.

    After a few attempts I never did get to meet him but I saw and felt the positive way that he helped others. This is very sad news and may he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones.

    He posted here in the early days, and I knew him for several years before that. I spoke to him on AIM many times. I had seen him browsing the forums recently, but he did not respond to PMs. Terrible news.

    One of the absolute nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, and talking with.

    A very kind and generous man. He will be missed by all who knew him, myself included.

    He's not that old too! Does anyone know how old he was? What caused his death?
