I am terribly sorry to read of his death - he was one of the sanest people upon these boards, and always informed his opinions.

May he rest in peace, the world is lesser for his passing.

The Auld Grump

My condolences. I always appreciated his posts.

My deepest condolences. I always would pause to read his well thought and sincere contributions. God bless you and his loved ones.

Found a site and put this map together for the family based on the flags of people who have posted in this thread. No coloring for frequency of a given nation appearing, but a way for them to be able to appreciate the number of lives MWHistorian touched around the world and to know they're not alone in their loss:

RIP, I always liked the posts he wrote.

Sad news. My condolences.

My greatest sympathise to you and his family. He was a great contributer to the site's forums and he will be missed.

My condolences as well.

I was not a regular reader of his blog (and have not read any of is novels, for that matter) but I liked his passionate drive for creativity and his active interest in other cultures and history.

As a regular contributor, and not a light one, he will surely be missed in this forum.
