I didn't really know Dragoneer very much aside from the fact he was the founder/owner of FA. I did, however, have a chance encounter with him once:

I was at FA United, FA's signature con, back when it was in NJ. I had already signed up for it for both myself and my then-girlfriend, but my nieces wanted to join in on it for the 2nd and 3rd days of the event and so I had to scramble to sign them up. I went to one of the staff rooms asking around for help to sign up my nieces and this one guy from the staff approached me and went out of his way to help me with the process on one of the computers. I had no idea who he was at the time, I just thought he was a regular staffer or something. He spent as much time as was necessary to help set things up, he answered all my questions, he never showed any impatience with me. He was just all around very supportive and kind throughout it all.

It was only at the end of the convention when I would later find out it was Dragoneer himself. I then thought back to all the times I would ever hear people say nasty things about him and I couldn't help but think to myself "Gee...he seems like a nice enough guy to me". And let's not forget, as imperfect as he may have been, he still created the site which made it possible for me to meet all kinds of interesting people and find out about a lot of interesting things, to say nothing of all the really cool arts I've come across in the past decade and a half.

Thank you, Dragoneer, for making a cool site and for helping me out that time. You will be missed by me and many others.
