Terrible news. I remember him quite well from way back here on Amiga.org when he was active.  He and his famous Bucket will be greatly missed . R.I.P

Yeah, the bucket was hilarious. He always had that stock avatar of a person with the bag on it's head. He was asked to put a real photo up and that was the result.

It's really terrible to hear when a community loses a member, especially in such a tragic manner.  My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Sad to here any loss to a loved one is sad but to loose a member of the Amiga community even worse and to someone who knows how to code

just note that Stuart has been quoted as saying he couldn't code his way out of a wet paper bag. (Yes guilty as charged)

But in all seriousness terrible tragedy. :cry:

So sad when one of us passes.

My deepest sympathies to his family and those that knew him.

It's small consolation to those left behind, but to those that believe (and those that want to), many Amigans have passed beyond this life - he'll have no shortage of kindred spirits to reminisce with.

*salutes them all*

I don't know how that will effect the moderation culture over there. Let's rewind time and put Yo in his place. Now that would change things for the better.
