339. I hate this news. I've enjoyed interacting with The Magistrate here many times.

He was always wise, witty, and respectful. He will be very missed by his DU family!

For those in the Magistrate's immediate family, I wish you much peace and strength at this most difficult and heartbreaking time—my deepest sympathies to all of you on this tragic loss.

Rest in eternal and blessed Peace, dear Magistrate.
