Oh, and as per Sandman's request in the previous thread.

Thank you for letting us know, David. You, his family and everyone who knew and loved him have my deepest condolences.

Too choked up to say much at the moment. Until I'm better able to express myself, I'll leave it at this: Rest in peace, Sandman. You were an incredible man.

I concur with everyone who posted already.  It was good to know the Sandman, and he'll be missed.  I'm glad he was able to go peacefully, though.

Wow, He's been dealing with this since 1998.  That's a really strong will!  RIP Sandman.  You will be missed.

Thank you David.

Mr. More your presence will be greatly missed.
I will celebrate your life every year as I celebrate my own as the day you passed I celebrate the day I was born.

I've been trying to think of what to say, but I can't express this eloquently. I'll miss you, Sandman. This place will never be the same without your posts and general presence. I'm glad everything happened peacefully.

Thank you for the update, David. It's great to read so much about his life and better know the man we came to love, even if it was merely through a forum.

RIP Sandman.  It's comforting to know that his final moments were every bit as serene and peaceful as he had wished for.

Thank you so much for telling us, David.  Sandman meant a lot to all of us.

I don't have any beer in the house at the moment, but I will definitely raise a glass of wine in a toast to his memory.  He will be sorely missed.

I already said what I wanted to say in a previous PM, but...sad to see you go, Sandman.

If there is, in fact, an afterlife, and you see my grandmother, tell her I said hi.

Goodbye, Sandman, your wit and wisdom I admired since my first day on the old board (The Yahweh era.) and will be missed.  RIP Forum Friend, you may be gone from this world, but not our hearts.

I'm actually crying right now. This has moved me deeply because I know exactly what he is talking about. I am actually thinking of putting this in my sig to remind me when I am feeling at my weakest.

David, thanks so much for taking care of a very wise man. You and your wife will be blessed, I know it is hard to see someone that you care so deeply about pass away but I hope that he is in a good place now and is know longer suffering. Thanks for taking the time to carry out Sandman's last wish and letting us know as well as writing that eloquent obituary. I never knew Mr. More personally but there is a certain vibe that I got whenever I read his posts. I am certain that he will live on in our hearts.

Sandman, wherever you are, I hope you are enjoying yourself and your last words to me are profound. I will write it down and always remember it.

Goodbye Mr. More. Rest in Peace.
