I still remember the first time he just randomly upvoted all my memes, then a week later the "upvote catch up" messages started coming in...I was a nobody on this site, and he still would do it. One of the most genuine people this site has ever seen. He helped me launch a theme week (Christmas Vacation week) and supported me the whole time. Yeah, I miss him too. I have hopes he may come back some day, but at this point I doubt it...maybe that's what he meant by "dash hopes", lol, it's fitting I suppose :)
