Oh no.
This is so sad. Howard/Duce was one of my favorites around here...if not favorite, honestly. When I first joined he was one of the members that stood out to me, not sure why, but he always had an interesting take on whatever discussion was going on and I'd look forward to seeing his opinion, regardless of how crazy it was. If my tastes can ever be half as eclectic as his were, I'd be proud. RIP
