Condolences. If you don't mind me asking, cause of death?

Same here, we have lost a good one before his time.
These threads are touching to see members passing on that are younger.

I don't know. I hadn't talked to him in a little while with how crazy my life has been the last few months. Was trying to make it to the HTF shoot next month and see everyone.

Spend quality time with friends and family while you can. You just never know.
