I've missed seeing his posts and replies for the past few weeks.

He was always encouraging and generous with his knowledge. I thought he must have been an educator at some time in his life.

Damn. This is really sad.

Thanks for your beautiful tribute and the photos, Peggy. They helped ease some of the shock.
