I'm at a loss for words right now... I'm so sorry to report SC's passing. I didn't realize he had fallen ill recently. Though he was a member of my forums since the 90s, we didn't meet until 2003 (pictured on the left, with our other dearly departed pal, Plawrence, on the right). We've met a number of times since then, for many group dinners, a Sopranos locations bus tour in '03, an unforgettable trip to a Gangster convention in Chicago in '04, among other weekends. He was my Consigliere -- my #2 -- here on the BB. Sometimes the enforcer, when he had to be, but also a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic Godfather fan. Saul -- you will be sorely missed, and there's now another large hole here on the BB, and in my heart. I love you, brother! RIP 💔

I’m at a loss for words. My heart is broken 💔

SC aka ‘Luca’ my most valued friend, we had a lot of laughs together, shed some tears together, but most importantly made some great memories together. So until we meet again........😢

I just spoke with SB who told me the devastating news. I too am shocked and at a loss for words.

I had the honor of meeting SC a few times for the BB meets and have kept in touch throughout the years. . He was a kind wonderful person and a lot of fun to be with. From the day I joined this board, he was among those that made me feel welcome here right away . He was a great moderator of this board and as Geoff said a great and knowledgeable Consigliere. I will forever associate that picture of Bogie to the one and only SC. RIP my friend.

I read this quote shortly after my father passed away, and found it really touching

“Death leaves a heartache that nothing can heal, love leaves a memory that no one can steal.” 😢

I got a text from Don Cardi. I cannot believe he is gone. We haven't spoken in years. He made me feel welcome since day one on the BB. First time we met was at the '05 BB weekend and again at the 07 BB weekend. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear this.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Im in shock, he will be truely missed in life and on these boards.

I've been here over 15 years so i got to know him quite a bit, he was always there for you and treated people equally. Very sad and im not sure what else to write. Just that SC will be missed and it won't be the same here..

I'll play a Frank Sinatra song tonight in his honour..

RIP SC..

Oh, my dear friend. Words cannot express what you meant to me, what you meant to so many of us here and elsewhere. Our friendship started on these forums, and continued through the magic of social media. I've had a love/hate relationship with Facebook, but I will always be grateful for the opportunities it presented me with connecting with new friends, and reconnecting with old ones. Facebook allowed me to build a great friendship with Saul, and I will always be thankful for that. This really hurts. I'm gonna miss you, pal. Until we meet again. RIP.

I'm so deeply saddened. SC was a friend. We had great times at the GBB get-togethers, where Saul was usually the life of a very lively party. We had lots of friendship on other boards, and through emails. More than that, SC was a wonderful human being. He was a terrific writer, and often graced us with rapier wit, which made us laugh no matter what. Despite having to strong-arm some of the miscreants on the OC Board, SC was really a gentle, kind-hearted guy, always caring about others and solicitous of their feelings.

Some of you probably know that he was chronically ill and severely disabled. But, he soldiered on, never feeling sorry for himself, and never losing his sense of humor, even when the clouds darkened above him. He was an inspiration. I miss him badly already.

He was always firm but fair in his limited interactions with me. You could tell he was a nice guy. Never abused his power like moderators on other forums.

May he rest in peace.

Wow. My condolences to his family and friends, within and outside of our internet community.

Geoff, the picture of you with Plaw and SC
is as iconic as any photo from the movie. It emphasizes the genuine community that exists within this site. It truly personalizes and humanizes this site compared to the largely anonymous nature of the internet. Consequently, I feel like I lost a good neighbor today in SC. I imagine the burden is even greater for those like you that knew him personally. I am very sorry for your loss.

TonyB.

Absolutely!!

No offense to any of the great moderators here, but wouldn’t this be something SC would have done? 😢 He was always quick to respond to things like this. It’s going to seem so strange not seeing him around. ☹️

I saw your suggestion earlier -- I just don't think people can reply to "Global Announcements" (if that's what you meant, putting it on top of each forum so everyone can see it regardless of what forum they're in).

I was going to make it a "Sticky" topic in General Discussion in time, but Sticky topics really don't get the attention they deserve because people overlook them. Of course I would've made it Sticky before it fell too low in the topics list... wink

-- PS --

I was gonna leave it "Sticky" after DC did it, but when I came back I couldn't find the thread right away lol ...so I'll redo it in due time, once most people had a chance to see it in the "normal" spot for new posts/replies.... wink

-- PPS --

Thought I'd compromise with a Global Announcement on the top of each forum pointing people to this thread. Eventually I'll Sticky this thread, and also remove these "housekeeping" posts....
