Yes very sad news - all the more sadder some of the original/older posters are “leaving the building” so to speak without seeing just one more flag.
Condolences to his friends and family.

He was smart, passionate and always fair and the distance never diminished his love for our club. I will truly miss him and may he Rest In Peace. Condolences to his family. Beautifully put, I look forward to raising a glass to those we've lost at the next TC gathering Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk |

Oh wow. This is indeed sad news. I had wondered what happened to him as he was such a regular contributor. It's funny, even though I never met BS or Moshe, hearing of their passing in the last 12 months has genuinely made me sad. I think I'd be the same for a great many of the contributors to this forum. Take care everyone |

I'd like to think BS is pulling some strings up there for us at the moment. It has been a roller coaster of a week, mate. RIP
