I just learned today of Shawn's passing after I wasn't able to get ahold of him for his annual participation in the GT Christmas Card Exchange. Shawn was always an eager participant, even the years that he wasn't feeling very well around the holidays. I'm so very sad to hear that he lost his battle with cancer, I had always just assumed he would rally again and again.
Rest in peace, Shawn. As late as I am to this sad news, I know I'm not the only one missing you this holiday season!
