Touching tribute. Sometimes people on the Net can be very nice.

Reminded me of this story in mean old NYC -

That’s interesting. There have been times where someone you" knew" on the net disappeared and you never found out what happened to them since they weren’t posting under a real name. I have sometimes wondered if death was a fate that they’ve met, but mostly I just imagine that they found much better things to do with their time.

Hello,

Those who sit and type also serve.

R.I.P. good sir.

This was quite heartwarming. A life well-lived, indeed, and I should note that the comments on the original piece (118 when I read it) were uniformly civil and kind. Sometimes, you should read the comments.
