Me too. He shared his extensive knowledge very generously and courteously. I still feel quite shocked that he has left this world so suddenly.

It's a real shame - he did an enormous amount of good work through the various email lists and while I didn't always agree with him, the breadth of his knowledge was immense and his gift for languages was utterly awe inspiring. I admired his stance that to understand any culture you must first understand the languages and the worldview revealed by them.
Sadly missed, but hopefully having a right good time in the ancestral halls. (Or paradise perhaps - I think he was a Xian?)
