Yes, indeed. I've gotten a few PMs to that effect. I only just now tracked down his phone number and spoke to his daughter. His wife is also down with it, but in ICU, and in stable condition. I can only imagine how saddened his family must be. His daughter is studying veterinary medicine and his son is still in high school.
It was great being his friend for so many years. I've enjoyed many a conversation with him via PMs about very many subjects. I still can hardly believe it.
