His wife posted the news on his Facebook a little earlier this morning. I know that he will be missed by many on here, especially the foodies.
FMB was one of the first people to really welcome me on here when I first joined and started posting regularly. I never met him in person, but he was one great guy and a fellow grammar Nazi. :-)
I'm sure his wife would appreciate any thoughts or prayers.
RIP, Fire Me Boy!

Early 40s? That's way, way too young. Sad to learn he's gone-- I lurked for a few years before joining, and he was always a fun read.
Condolences to his family and those that knew him. Speaking of which-- what was his real name? Since he's passed, isn't it okay to post it in the clear? [Reply]
