Pulling for Individual...
Just saw a message on another board that Individual suffered a 'massive' heart attack yesterday, and is being referred to in the past tense...he is/was not everyone's cup of tea but I personally like/liked him and would encourage those feeling the same to send some good vibes his way...

May you be well, may you be free from disease.
May you be liberated.

'This is Alex's Aunt Jacquie, Alex had a massive heart attack early this morning. John Hopkin's did everything possible for him. He fought so hard to stay with us. Pls pray for his mom, he was her only child. Also remember life is short, hug the ones you love and never take the small things for granted. God be good to Alex!'

Re: Pulling for Individual...
Wow, that is sad. He had so many posts here, he was definitely a part of our community in spite of some of his colorful posts and doubts about the Dhamma, etc. he seemed to mostly enjoy his time here. He will be missed. May he be well and happy in the next life.
Re: Pulling for Individual...
Sad news. Thank you Bhante for passing it on.

Perhaps Retro, to save swamping, you could add everybody's good wishes to yours.
May he soon enjoy a life that will free him from Samsara.

Good thinking - I will do. In fact, when I do it I'll append a link to this topic...Fede wrote:Perhaps Retro, to save swamping, you could add everybody's good wishes to yours.

Re: Pulling for Individual...
I am sincerely quite saddened by that news. Surprisingly, to me, as I hardly knew him or related much directly with him. Perhaps I was "pulling for him" as well. May it be that his faith in the Dhamma brings him to favorable circumstances in the next life.

Re: Pulling for Individual...
Are we sure this is the right guy? I thought Individual's name was William, not Alex.
Whoever it is, may he be well and may his family find the strength they need.

May he have a fortunate rebirth where he can learn the dhamma and be liberated.
