    Damn, I'm heartbroken.
    His photographs were so beautifully done.
    He contributed in so many ways to this forum, and the fandom.

    You will be greatly missed TCracker.

    Awful news. A genuinley nice person whose enthusiasm for the hobby and flair / talent for photography put smiles on many of our faces.

    Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

    Gosh that was shocking. He seemed like a great guy. Certainly loved his photos and style. That’s pretty saddening though. R.I.P.

    When I get my copy of MP-44 and sit down to open it, I’ll be pouring some bourbon and making a toast to TCracker.

    Damn. I never met him in person, but we talked a bit outside of this forum and I always found him to be an upstanding guy. His photo skills were top notch and his positive energy will be sorely missed in our community here. R.I.P., my friend.

    Simon will continue to be one of my favorite TF photographers. His style, composition, humor, insight will not be forgotten any time soon.
    I only wish he had been given a chance to realize his dream of experiencing Op V3 in some secret, non-disclosure deal.
    I’m going to miss him dearly. His contribution to the fandom is legendary.
    I second the call to commemorate him here in some form, whether it be a collection of all his photographs, or a top 10 photos of the year contest in his name like @onnsake has suggested.
    Tcracker, May you Rest In Peace my friend. Til all are one

    Definitely was sad to hear that news. From what I read, he was an excellent positive presence on the Boards. I’m very disappointed TT wouldn’t send him an early copy.

    From what I saw his content set a good example that conveyed what was fun about the hobby.

    I'm going to miss talking shop with him, so much. I knew him through Facebook, as well; and his conversations were always so fun, and so passionate. Rest in peace, my friend. :(

    I was dreading this news. I never had any interactions with him, but I could see that the way he talked with people on the boards was always very genuine and pleasant. His photos were always amazing. You will be missed TCracker...

    I'm just seeing this now.

    It's so shocking and saddening.

    I never had the pleasure to meet him but I always loved the photos he posted. He was an incredible part of this community and it's just a shame that this terrible disease has to take so many people away from us.

    My deepest condolences and prayers to his family.

    Rest in peace TCracker.

    Heartbreaking to say the least. He was a great man, and an amazing fan. His pictures will allow his memory to live on forever. He’ll truly be missed on these boards. Anyone who knew him outside of here was truly lucky to have crossed paths with him.
