    Such a great person, definitely taken from this world far too soon. I didn't even know he was sick but this definitely explains the decrease in activity from him lately.

    Truly one of the greats of SP, he will absolutely be missed. :(

    Rest in peace Sir Bel, my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

    This sucks.

    My heart goes out to his loved ones, it is always terrible to lose a friend, but even more so when the body fails out early.

    It's just never fair when one of the best is taken so early. I hope him the best in his next life.

    RIP Bel

    We will all remember sir Bel's quirky sense of humour. Always ready to offer a word of advice and support when it was needed. Rest in peace buddy. Cancer has a lot to answer for.

    I had no idea he was ill. I didn't really have much interaction with him, but I certainly enjoyed reading what he had to say.

    42 is way too young...

    Thanks to Avarahtar's generous donation, we're now at $300. :thumb: The first goal is $500, but if we can make it a round $1000 it'd be awesome.

    Wow, up to $503 now with a very generous donation of $100 from Beren and $50 from Atmer. Thanks, guys. The first goal is reached, on to the second one! :thumb:

    I'm going to throw in an avatar/portrait + title for anyone who donates (and doesn't have one yet) as my way of thanking the contributors.

    I just saw this now - I was away all last week. Like reepnorp, I did not not even know he was sick. It just sucks. Like many others here, I never personally met Sir Bel, even though I lived less than 100 miles away from him. I feel terrible. It's also surprising how long it's been since he was regularly active on the site. Just looking at the reponses, pretty much everyone who remembers them has a join date in the early 2000s.

    I've known about it for quite some time but Bel didn't want to make any announcements about it here so I've only shared it with a handful of SP staff. Even though Bel hasn't posted much in the last few years, we've been in regular contact behind the scenes and he was a big part of making sure that SP could operate smoothly, so he's never really "left" like most people who stop posting regularly.
