While I never knew Tad in person, his presence here greatly increased
the quality of this group. In particular, his patient but firm manner
with newcomers was something any newsgroup regular could stand to learn
from.
My condolences to his family; he will be sorely missed.

I only ever knew him here on clpm. He has helped me many times,
and I've learnt from his replies to the questions of others. I
send my condolences to his family.
Justin.

Despite what people say this _is_ a community and he was a pillar of it.
I felt I knew him and yet until today I didn't even know what he
looked like.
The world is a poorer place when you lose people like that.

Wow, what a loss!
He's been here for so long -- what, was he one of the original founders
of this group?

Hardly. I think he got into Perl around 1994 or so. This group
was created around then, but was preceded by the classic
"comp.lang.perl" for at least a few years before that.
