I don't know what to say... I've been preparing myself for this day for about a year, and still the news feels like a ton of bricks.

This place will never be the same without Plaw, that's for sure. What an amazing man he was, so intelligent, and so caring underneath all that sarcasm and wonderful wit. He was the kind of guy who made you love him, you had no choice.

May he rest in peace. I'll never forget him, his sense of humor, and the truly great advice he used to give me. I'll remember him with every basketball game I watch, every gangster movie I see, every cup of cinnamon-infused coffee I drink.

My sincerest condolences to his girlfriend and his son.
