RIP Hoop!
David & I developed a [online] friendship over the years, especially when his sister became ill. My wife went through a very similar situation with her sister and he pulled info from us as to what to expect and/or should we try this or that.
Shipping each other items and sharing antidotes etc
He wrote a thread that he intended to post here several years back that would've shared what he had been through[sister] and then what he was dealing with himself and after I read it I fully knew that he was as genuine as I thought prior. I don't think that he ever mustered the strength to post it as he didn't want all of the light shined on him.
He seemed to be out as selfless as a human being could be.

RIP my friend and someday we'll share a sip upstairs.
