R.I.P "Triticale"
Nick Schewitzer has a picture and information.
You might want to leave a message at his blog.
In the olden days, my amateur radio buddies[1] used to talk about the friends they had "all over the world," friends they had never met in person, but knew only by callsign and location (and maybe an occasional exchanged picture). I guess the blogosphere is like that. I never met Triticale, and knew only as much about him as he revealed in his postings. Yet my years of lurking in comment threads led me to view his handle as a flag for a comment that would be worth reading.
I've learned more about Tom in the last 48 hours than I ever thought I'd know, things which make me regret all the more that I never made it far enough north to crash my way into one of the Drinking Right sessions, just to be able to hoist one with him.
Ave atque vale, Triticale.
UPDATE 071219 02:39: Obituary and service plans

[1] ...that is, my buddies who were Hams. For some reason- probably laziness- I never got involved, myself.
