Damn, damn, damn. What a loss to the cycling community, not to mention everyone else that he touched. I never met him but thought that if I ever got near that part of the country I might stop by. I've learned so much from his posts here and his website. I hope his site is preserved. Like Ken Kifer's, it can continue to help people out after he's gone.

After a couple of weeks, I hope that someone that's in the area prints out this thread and takes it to the shop. Probably not necessary though; I imagine he wasn't the only one hanging around here.

I can't even imagine how many people will mourn his loss; thousands? Tens of thousands?

Condolences to those closest to him from someone who appreciated his generosity.
