Fuck.
I never go in this forum unless I see a "Bud Head is a Nazi" thread highlighted on the main page. I can't believe I missed this thread until now.
OP, thanks for letting us all know about your brother. One of the problems with online communities is the ease with which members can drop off the face of the Earth, without anyone knowing where they've gone or if they'll ever come back. Your bro was a good guy, and I feel better knowing that all his friends have a chance to grieve his loss, and say a few words of appreciation for such a good friend.
For myself, I wasn't as close with L&C as I am with some other members. Still, I enjoyed his posts, his openness, (the help he gave me finding spores), and his overall contribution to the community. Not everyone is YaHooka material (for which I am reluctantly but assuredly grateful), and among YaHookans, there are few who ever garner the respect and stature that L&C did.
It really hurts to know he's gone. I'm glad it doesn't hurt him, anymore.
