Damn, that's bad news... I really liked the guy's posts, and always enjoyed reading them - he was often in house rules and more than once in one of my *many* threads.
'tis a sad night, tonight.
Rest in peace, man - hopefully you won't be rolling any more '1's anytime soon
That's very sad news. Tetsujin wasn't just a very prolific poster, he was also a treasure trove of knowledge and seemed to be a genuinely nice guy. He will be missed.
A couple friends of mine were his friend, and noted his death in their blogs though I didn't know his screen name here. It sounds as if he had a lot of friends, and will be dearly missed. I wish his family well in this devestating time.
