How sad. Christine, thank you for letting us know. I had read on Facebook that he was having problems, but didn't hear about his passing until I just checked in and read your post. Please tell his family how much we all loved him and his humor and helpful tips to us when we posted. As you remember, I corresponded with him via email on several occasions telling him about my problems, and he always replied to me with ideas I could try. I remember when I told him about not being able to swallow very well, he gave me his recipe for making a big pot of bean soup that he could eat since he had far worse problems than I with swallowing. May he rest in peace and know that we will always remember him.
