I was terribly saddened to read this. I only knew Beasty from his posts here. It's been so long since I've been in chat that I don't remember if he and I ever chatted. I do wish I had gotten to know him as well as a lot of you did.

He was definitely someone whose posts I would always read. He was, and I guess still is, very much a part of this community.

My heart goes out to all of his friends and family. He will be missed...a lot.
