OT: Sad News

Those who were on the WW GOAD board may remember Alan Schneider (IZZY was his board name). He was an active member of the GOAD board for many years. Because of our sarcastic and grammar/spelling nazi ways, Alan and I became great online friends and have kept in touch via FB since he left the GOAD board a couple of years ago.

I received word today that Alan passed away unexpectedly yesterday. I don't have any details yet; but this WAS totally unexpected.

Please keep his wife, Pauline, and the rest of his family in your thoughts and prayers.

While a lot of people may think the daily roll call is a little silly, things like THIS are one of the reasons it was started years ago. If someone is a regular poster to the daily roll call thread and suddenly stops posting, someone typically "checks" on them to be sure everything is okay.

I also think he was before my time, but it is still sad to learn of someone's passing. Even harder when it is unexpected. Prayers for his family and friends.

Alan and I used to exchange emails until we lost contact a few years ago, mostly talking about music. I am so sad to hear this. Thank you for letting us know, Cindy.
