Many here will remember Chowhound, a fellow Brokie who loved Brokeback Mountain and never seemed to tire of talking about our movie. It is with great sadness that I relate news of his passing. A mutual friend hadn't heard from him in awhile, and after Googling him, found this:

He will be remembered for his wit, his kindness and his good humour.
