I had the honor of meeting him but once for dinner with a mutual friend from
the company he formerly worked for.

He's every bit as quick-witted and brilliant face-to-face as he was online.
This spectacular individual won't be easily forgotten.

This is terrible news.

I have never had the privilege of meeting him, but have always
admired his posts.

Perhaps we could observe a day of list silence in his honor...

My condolences to his family.
