I've never been good at speaking about these things and Im sure other journals have more poignant things to say,.. but those who were close to him, you are are in my thoughts right now for whatever that may be worth and I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing.
No matter what you may have thought of him, I feel at the end of the day he had the interests of the community at heart.
We weren't terribly close, but I'll always remember the livejournal days, geeking over music stuff together and drawing Preyfar for you.

Thanks for always being kind to me. Rest easy, Neer.
