This is so flipping sad - I'm bawling like a 3yo reading this.
I was so thrilled that he and MMS were getting married (how amazing to meet someone at the supermarket?)
I'm grateful for his presence on SI and pray for his family's healing.

This is heartbreaking. I’m not surprised but still very sad. His strength and resilience was truly inspirational. It really was. RIP Ohforanewme. You will be missed.

He cheated and then lied. Apparently cheaters lie. Huh. 13 months of false R. Divorced! 8/16 3 teenage kids

Oh, shit. Rest in peace, Ohfor. You have been a blessing to so many. Those on your physical life and those connected through the internet. May your family remember all of those good times and generous actions with you and from you and be blessed by them.

The words to express my feelings escape me. There might be no words.
Squid pretty much nailed it.
I too think of internet friendships as the long distance friendships of long ago, except with the instant gratification and conversational tone of in person friendships. No less real, and now capable of becoming close very quickly.
I knew what our friend was facing, but my mind couldn't imagine such a gift leaving us. I kept my hope alive.
Now, my hope is that I will meet my friend in person, when I arrive where he is...if I should be so fortunate.
I miss you, OhFor. This is really really tough to process.
Huge hugs to MMS and his beautiful children and family. And to all of you SIers who loved him.

What a truly great man. I am heartbroken for him and his family. I will be thinking of them all for a long time.

This was deviating news for me. He and I became friends outside of the awful spectre of the tragedy of infidelity.
We would communicate often about the most random topics, his ADD was a worthy match for mine. I will miss him a lot.

All I want to do is send another PM... As if he might answer yet again.

He was quite verbose: I’d get a pm and know I needed to grab a glass of wine, get my reading glasses and settle in😂
I don't drink, but I know this feeling.
I always felt that my replies to his PMs were so inadequate.
Such a kind man that if you got to know him you learned a lot about him.
He told me of so many places that I needed to see.
I knew this was coming but my heart is still breaking.

Y'all know that he sent many of us the same messages ... and also sometimes posted them. I never minded, because if he worked that hard on a word-picture I figured it should be shared widely.
But he was enamored of language, as am I, and I treasure our PM conversations.
For those who have asked, I do not have contact information for the family. I hope MMS eventually will stop in here and see how much OhFor was appreciated and loved.

A true gentleman of the old school, OhFor will always be one of my heros for showing me what decisiveness and action looks like in the face of two unthinkable adversaries. I will really miss his words and his wisdom.
My condolences to his family.

Odanna,

Me too.
I PM'd him last Monday, not really expecting him to respond. I just hope he read it.
I love that his words and energy will live on in the archives of SI.

This is sad news. I hope that his family knows what a treasure he is to us here at SI. Also now terribly he will be missed.

I lack the words to do him justice.
He will he missed very much.
I was young and dumb and stayed with a cheater.
