Chuck Kimmel (aka Critical Bill) passed away today.

I don't participate at Fauna much...just no time. But I follow the BOI and have much respect for the site and most of the members there. And, while he may have been abrasive and in-your-face about stuff, Chuck was definitely one of the Good Guys. I didn't know him beyond his Fauna persona, but from all I've read, and from the character of his friends, I believe he was a very worthy man who will be deeply missed by all those he's touched.

This thread tells the story of his heart attack last month and the battle he fought for so long after... And his wife made today's announcement on post #481.

My heart and prayers go out to his wife and children.
