Very sad news. We got to know him in the D.C. Lounge, great character, had a big positive effect on the Good Lady. Reminded her you can still be sarky and ironic, even if you're in a wheelchair : )
He had enough personality to fill any sized room, my first memory of him was watching him transfer from his car into his wheelchair, then trundling across the pothole ridden car park, expecting him to capsize anytime.
We'll certainly miss him : ( : (
