lemmataon Len Sassaman has passed away

I am so, so sorry. I only "met" him (online) near the start of June, so it's probably not my place to be sad, but from what little I knew of him, Len was a brilliant, inspiring, and often witty man, and I'm profoundly sorry that this has happened. If there's anything at all that I can do to help, I'd be more than willing.

It's certainly a well-designed site, if perhaps... limited in its use.

lemmataon Len Sassaman has passed away

His wife's Twitter account (@maradydd) appears to corroborate this. A tragic loss, especially considering his age (I don't know, but I'd estimate ~35). At that age, it would almost have to be an accident or suicide, and I'm fervently hoping that it was an accident.
