Oh my, I’m so sorry. Rest in peace, buddy.
A notable commenter, he often came at things from a different perspective and was a thoughtful man.
I’m stunned and I’ll definitely miss him! We had many challenging and interesting conversations on FR. May he be among the saints on resurrection day!!!
He never would tell me what “yitbos” stood for!!!
So very sorry and a little stunned to hear this, especially so soon after Lancey. I’ve been wondering where he was.
yitbos. Rest in eternal peace.
My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
