I am very sad to hear this news of Drew and Brent.

I got to meet Drew face to face at the 1995 Devcon in San Diego. It was a big treat for a lurker like myself to be at the same table with one of the masters, in particular one like Drew.

He was always eager to help with any questions and had a great personality that just made you smile or laugh.

Like countless others, I still have code running today from his samples and other tips and tricks he was so good at showing us. Drew was a great help to this community and he will be missed.

For those of you who were able to have them in your daily lives, I am sorry for your loss.
