Talk about the biggest of mixed emotions.

He used to be one of the good guys on CF... then he became a mod and turned into an absolute dictator.

My heart goes out to his family in their time of loss.

We used to chat all the time in the CFOT Bars. Sad to hear. I wonder what happened. The linked obit had no info whatsoever.

I got along great with Irishmac, even met him at a car show in St. Louis. Terrific guy and he'll be missed. Ironically, he's the one that mysteriously banned me. It's clear now that I will never know why.

I won't remember him as a moderator so much as a person who calmly helped me out of a mechanical problem I was having last year with some home equipment (pump/filter).

The guy took the time to PM a few messages over a few days, after I had posted a rant about what I perceived to be inferior craftsmanship on a name brand unit.

Knowing how OT works over there, I will always remember his serious thoughts and time spent reassuring me I didn't make the wrong decisions or stupid mistakes I'm prone to do on occassion.

I generally stay away from the caustic threads that caused banning, and I don't consider him a mod, but an unmet friend who helped me out.

This is truely sad to hear.

Sad.

I have to say, all I knew of him was that he was the last guy to post in a lot of threads. If you know what I mean.

Gotta be a really tough loss for his wife, his kids, and the staff at CF. I hope they all get through it alright.

Unfortunately I never knew him beyond the person who banned me a few times without knowing the context of my posts.

It's a shame that perception is what many might have of him as well. I guess as mods some of us should make time to participate in the same crowds we moderate, and not let ourselves get overextended.

The wife and I met him at a couple of the CF Cruise-Ins. He was a nice guy in person. I was saddened to read of his passing.
