Hello JMC,
I'm really shocked, and very saddened, to hear this.
I send you my deepest condolences.
Every day is a miracle, and we can't take it for granted.
So many users out there don't realize the human aspects of being a coder.
It's very painful sometimes.
I'm so sad I never got to meet him.
regards,
Scott (ms.Pinky)
