Wow this is a punch to the gut. I am very sorry to hear this. Station19 was a fantastic poster and a great addition to this community. This community is unique in the sustained nature of it and the personalities that emerge. I've gotten to know many of you in "real life" and have developed great friendships, and others who I haven't met, I still feel like I know well. Station19 is in the latter group and a poster I hoped to have met in person at some point.
I know he posted the last few months that he was having some medical issues and in particular, was losing his eyesight. I hope the last few months were spent with friends and family and that he was at peace with his life.
freshtrout, if Station19 was a personal friend of yours, please accept my condolences. If you know family members who knew him, please pass along condolences from a community that valued him and appreciated his contributions.
As he often signed off: +19
