I'm sad to report that my husband has died. It was sudden and unexpected. Playing Wordtwist was such a pleasure for him. He so admired a number of amazing players and was impressed with the wisdom and cleverness shown.

I'm so sorry to hear that he's gone. I go for big words too, and see his name often on boards, and also on the trophy list each month. I'll miss him. It won't be the same.

I am so sorry to hear of this loss. Condolences and a virtual hug to you.

I'm so sorry to hear that! He will be missed. My deepest sympathies.

[the cryptogram keeper]

So sorry for your loss. The long-word competitions won't be the same.

[Blusty]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Wishing you strength and comfort during this difficult time.

In this game of words, I find that are no words, just sorrow.

[adiposeur]

So sorry for your loss and sending virtual hugs.

I always enjoyed the posts from both of you. It seemed like if one of you posted, the other would likely soon follow with the interesting additional detail or missing explanation. It was fun to see such a great team on the boards. Thank you for letting us know, we will miss him. So sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry for your loss and condolences to you and your family. He is one of the reasons I started playing 5X5 as I wanted to try and find a 25-letter word.

He was always such a gentleman, always so much everyone's friend, and always someone whose posts made everyone feel better. He was a competitor without being ever nasty about it. I wish I were as good. You have my sincere condolences. I feel his loss and I can only imagine how you must feel. Having recently lost my wife, my imagination is perhaps accurate. And all the more sharp. I'd give you a hug and mean it. I hope you get plenty of real ones. For a very long time.
