Rest In Peace Triticale

Blogger Triticale, whose real name turns out to be Tom Dee (Update: make that real name Tom Arnold, which makes more sense), died last night, according to his brother via Nick Schweitzer.

I didn’t even have time to adjust to the news that he was sick and not expected to make it, relayed to me by Deb after she saw a post by Charles.  As she said, that explained why he hadn’t been around lately.  He was a fairly regular reader and commenter, particularly about food.  I actually have this recipe in my “food” folder of bookmarks, and used it as one of my references when attempting to make hummus.

As it turns out, he would have been 57 on Monday.  Oh so young.  To all indications, he was a super nice guy.

Needless to say, we’re tremendously sad here tonight.  Rest in peace.  You will be missed.

  2. This is really sad news for me.

    Tom was a friend of mine since the mid 70s.

  4. Ah bleep!  I enjoyed his comments, and his perspective. He will be missed.  May the light shine on those left behind.

  5. Oh, no. I’m so sorry for the loss. Tom, you were a good ‘un, and you’ll be missed. God speed you to your rest, and peace.

  6. A great void has been rendered in the fabric of the ‘net, one that cannot be filled.

    Rest in peace, Tom.  It was an honor to have read you, sir.

    My condolences to his friends and family.

  7. Feel bad for those he left behind if you whish, but don’t pitty the dead, they’re happier than we are for all we know.

    So here’s to a life full, and well lived!
