Wasn't sure where to put this, so apologies if it's incorrect.
I wanted to let those of you who remember the very excellent Doorstop, aka Ross, and don't use Facebook, that last Wednesday he sadly succumbed to the cancer that has attacked him over the past several years.
Unlike some/many of you here, I never actually had the pleasure of meeting Ross in real life, though many a pleasant conversation over many mediums were had, all thoroughly enjoyed - by me at least, can't speak for him! A very thoughtful, kind and erudite man, able to make people think deeply and laugh outrageously, almost in the same breath, despite his illness and the horrendous pain that was part and parcel of that; indeed, he was making quips on FB right up til the day before he passed.
For someone I never met, Ross's death has hit me very hard, even though we all knew it was coming; it's ALWAYS too soon, isn't it?
RIP my friend.
