YES, I did like him! We IM'd many times. He seemed troubled (depressed) to me several months ago and we spent several IMs "talking" about it (I'll respect the privacy of it...but he didn't talk about any kind of problems like this). I never knew him to be anything but kind-worded. Respectful of his customers (and refusing to put things on sale for respect of people who had paid full price already). It tears me to blurriness to think about it and I HATE it! I just HATE it! Is there anywhere one can send condolences? Does anyone know? It only seems fair that his loved ones should hear from the customers/"friends" he made here. It's just NOT FAIR!
