Unfortunate and untimely. Did he ever get his kids situation figured out, I seem to recall him needing to stop participating here because of custody issues or something.

No, he was never able to get visitation.
The fact that his ex made it a condition of visitation that he had to leave PO.com was one of the things that really ticked me off about the way custody is handled by the US courts.

Best interest of the child is only a factor in a handful of states, in most places it is presumed without question that the mother is the necessary parent with no nuance at all applied. Every relationship and family is different, there is no one size fits all solution and the meat grinder of the American custody court system should be evidence enough to prove that to everyone's satisfaction.
I had been quietly hoping that as his kids moved into adulthood he might return but this sad news makes that impossible. I know it is natural that the older I get the more friends and acquaintances will have passed on but it is still a grieving process. One of the few times in my life I saw my father in tears was when he was 62 and his best friend died of a sudden heart attack. Aaron was a fine person and I am sure those he was close to shall miss him terribly.

I miss Heineken, Pops, Ludi, PenultimateManStanding, PeakOiler, Montequest, Patience ( we used to seed swap ) and many others from pre-2010. There were some really good conversations in those days...
