I had not heard of Piccolo's death, so thank you for sharing this article here. Rest in peace, dear man.

Oh, and everyone should do themselves a favor and not read the comments on the linked story. Some of them are beautiful tributes to and memories shared of this man, but a handful of them are as nasty and degrading as you could expect from anonymous online cowards.
