Wow, I am shocked speechless.

I have used Darrel's gifts to the PBP world for years now. Most of what I have done with PBP has had some kind of help or influence from Darrel, if not robbing his code line per line. I had his instant interrupts in mind when I started fleshing out this latest pic based project and was hoping he might help me yet again, even though he didn't know who I was.

I was just searching around to see if he was still active and came across the word that he has passed.

Now I don't even know what to say.

He was just an awesome person for helping so many people with the gift of knowledge. I could tell by his enthusiastic posts that it really made him happy to help out and gift his ideas to all of us.

Even when I was at my wits end with a project, just reading his posts would help me push thru my problem. It also made me want to say thank you a million times over and be as nice as I could for all of you that have helped me. Real appreciation. This stuff isn't always easy, and to have someone so willing to guide the way was amazing.

Darrel Taylor will be missed by a whole lot of people, and I think that says a lot for the guy.

R.I.P DT!
