Random Quote

The Christian claims the Humanist worships man, yet it is the Christian that worships Jesus Christ - a man as well. If the Humanist worships humanity, at least he does it while it is still alive. Christ died many centuries ago.

Leonardo Foradelli 1851 (Italian Humanist)

We've lost another good one

Category: Weblogs
Posted on: July 2, 2007 10:27 PM, by PZ Myers

One of the early blogs that I very much enjoyed was The Rittenhouse Review, a Philly blog which I discovered shortly after leaving Philadelphia. It had gone quiet a while ago, rather mysteriously — it's another of those odd things about this medium that there can be so few signs of what's going on in real life from what we see online — but sadly, we now learn that the author, Jim Capozzola has died after a long illness.

We might not believe in a heaven, but certainly you will rest on top of the roof. May the wind not knock you down, Jim.

So sad. His was one of the first blogs i got into. I know he was having trouble making ends meet but i didn't know about his illness. I stopped checking in when his posting became sporadic. I just assumed he had lost interest.

I hope someone is caring for Mildred.

without jim's encouragement and emails and support on his blogroll i wouldn't be blogging today.

i had no idea he was sick, and i'm incredibly saddened to hear of his passing.

he was a true gentleman.

First Steve, now Jim. How sad.

I had no idea he was sick either, although I was wondering about his absence from blogging. Condolences to his family and friends.
