The Cheddarsphere loses a friend.

Triticale died last night from his fight against cancer.

I'd talked with Tom on 10 or 12 occasions. A gentle and kind man. Honestly one of the brightest and sharpest minds I had ever encountered. Sometimes I had the feeling he had to dumb down everything he said so the rest of us could understand.

I'm proud to say that I could call him friend.

I'm better off for having known him.

God's blessings on him and his family.
