Chris Coad has died. :(

[Robin Garr]

I won't link to the Facebook post from a mutual friend here because it was sent to Friends Only, but I thought the gang here would want to know that one-time forum stalwart, world-class punster and denizen of the original Basement has died. Condolences to Lisa and to all who knew Chris. May he be sipping wonderful wines in some beautiful place until we meet again.

Just saw this (same mutual friend). Apparently a heart attack. So sad.

Rest in Peace Chris.

What terrible news, a real loss. .
Condolences to Lisa as well as the community of friends who loved him so much.

Definitely sad news! My condolences to family and friends.

Oh my gosh! Very sad news, he was too young for that.

Sad news. May he enjoy lots of fine wine in the Elysian fields:
