    Sad news. Seriously one of the nicest, friendliest people we ever had around here. Word is he lost his battle with MS.

    Turnips of sad. :(

    If anyone has any details to share (without pestering his family, of course), this is a good spot.

    RIP Tak.

    I became friends with him when we both used to frequent the FAI but lost contact a while after he left. I haven't heard from him in years but I'm ridiculously sad to hear this.

    We've been on touch over the years but I hadn't heard from him a while. When I saw it on Facebook I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach

    That's too bad. :( I liked our resident gnome. I remember him as a kind chap who sure liked movies and music. It's both odd and beautiful to read his last post (No trumpet involved).

    I'm sure there's is a... hovel for him in the Golden Hills of Bytopia, with turnip beer flowing in abundance.

    I don't think I ever talked to him. But I remember the Turnip bits the best.

    Sad to see another Resident of SP go.

    Enjoy yourself where ever you are now, Tak. I missed you as soon as you stopped showing up to the chat room.

    I didn't know him beyond what I saw him post here, but he seemed like a nice, friendly person. This is sad news indeed. Like BTA, I had wondered why we haven't heard from him in a long time. RIP Takara.

    Sad news indeed - I'd forgotten that he was sick. Ironically, I remember him most for posting notifications of celebrities who had passed away.

    RIP Takara.

    Really sad news! I don't think I ever saw him write a harsh word on the boards.

    I remember somebody saying he suffered from MS but I didn't know it was this bad already.

    RIP Takara! :cry:

    Very sad. One of the nicest folks on SP. It goes without saying that he will be missed; the boards are a lesser place without him.
