Yes, we heard about it yesterday, although I'm still waiting on verification.  He was a long time contributor here, and even had his own section on the forums for awhile here.

I feel for his family, losing a loved one is never easy, especially on/around a holiday, it's a wound that cuts deep for many years to come on what otherwise should be a happy time......... may you R.I.P. Mr. Hannon.
