RIP Sir Belisarius

I'm not sure how many members still around remember Sir Bel - he was a member from way back, big player on Daggerdale and later a Daggerdale DM. He was not only the one of the key people who attracted me to ALFA in the first place, but also the first person to DM me and a year or so later took time to show me how to use the DM client and help ease me into the flow of the DM life. He hasn't popped in since 2010, so may have faded from many people's memories, but even then he was always a friendly, helpful type.
Anyway, long story short, it turns out that Sir Bel lost his fight against cancer a couple of weeks ago.
I've posted below is obituary, for those of you who are interested.
CancerBWare.org, an organisation Sir Bel started with his friends to help contribute to cancer research after his passing, is still currently in the process of getting things up and running, and are only able to accept postal donations at present. For anyone wishing to make a contribution, in memory of Sir Bel, the full details can be found on their website.
