Here's a nice little story for all of you:
A few months back I was surfing through the forums trying to teach myself the code and stumbled onto his forum signature. Without giving it a second thought I sent him a PM with my skype details asking for a little guidance and within a few minutes he had already added me. Out of shock I almost forgot my question, but we chatted for a few minutes until I regained my thoughts and he spent half an hour helping me sort out how to add the HB program as a resource in Visual Studios. In those few fleeting moments I spent chatting with him I could tell how awesome of a guy he was, and it's crazy to think that I am one of the few people on this planet that got to experience his life in any way, let alone in the last six months. His help in my moment of doubting my love for coding pushed me to stick with it and pursue further into the world I knew little about, and so I think you Botanist, for being there when I needed some guidance like a mentor and generally awesome guy I know you were.
Rest in peace, and may you always fight against the oppressive capitalism where ever you may be!
