Great guy, too young.

If someone who knew him well would like to organize a collection for a flower arrangement for the family on behalf of the reefing community he was apart of Id like to donate.

Wow, don't know what to say. He was way too young. I only got the chance to meet him once and the occasional back and forth in the forum, he seemed like a great guy. My condolences to family and friends.
