Wish I had the same experience. I know my FD sorely needed it, until I tossed it out that is.
I don't know the exact time of his passing, but according to Bicycling.com, where I got the news, he passed on Sunday the 3rd, the date of his last post. I'd like to think that he passed away doing something related to what he loved, namely answering bicycle related questions since he had a hard time cycling.
Rest in Peace, Sheldon "Interchangeabilitude" Brown.
