After reading about 11 pages of condolences, I am in a very very deep shock, this is very saddening news to me especially as he was a person I've had a great relationship, friendship and partnership with during many years on many and many projects, it is very very heart breaking for me to loose such a dear person to me online, although we did not maintain contact these recent months, you will always be remembered as a great guy, a great friend and mentor to me, much love, RIP.
This is yet another lesson to stay focused, enjoy life, don't waste a second of it, you never know what happens, I am in tears and in deep sadness right now..
