Not that I knew him personally, but from the beginning when I was learning how to trade he was ALWAYS around willing to answer questions about pretty much anything, and he would often take his own personal time to follow up via PM....
And he never wanted anything in return, he never offered to beat my current rates, only ever wanted to help another trader out, even someone as obnoxious as me, and expected absolutely nothing in return.
His passing is a real loss to this business and to elite trader.
My deepest condolences to his family. In life and death he did what he loved, and that is truly rare and truly admirable.
Does anyone know anything about contributing to a charity or even something as simple as sending a small note to his family??? Maybe someone who is savvy on this sort of thing could even set something up over ET (hint, hint moderators -- GW did a LOT for this site -- I don't mind doing it myself if someone could give me a link) for us who would like to let his family know how much he will be missed.
