Triticale, R.I.P.
Via Glenn Reynolds, I just learned that Triticale has died. Glenn hadn't heard of his leukemia, but says: I enjoyed his blog posts and comments. He will be missed.He certainly will. Triticale's name, (it turns out, according to Old Grouch) was Tom Dee. This is really sad. I hate to lose not only a friend I never got to meet, but a voice of brilliance, of many original insights. Triticale has been a regular and valued commenter for years here at Classical Values, and he was a good friend of M. Simon, who has a nice obit. Rest in peace, Triticale. UPDATE: Nick Schweitzer has more details, with a picture. AND MORE: Anyone who is curious to see Triticale in action as a commenter here, check out this post.

He will be missed. Justin J. Case · December 16, 2007 10:27 AM This is sad not only for us losing him, but the sudden nature of his illness. It was only recently that he learned of it, and it was too late. He was as interesting in person as he was in the blogosphere. We are missing a clever soul.

Eric,
He was a personal friend of mine since the mid-70s. He spent a lot of time in my shop in Chicago at 2053 Sheffield.
I wrote a bit here:
My Friend Triticale Has Died.
His real name was Tom Arnold.
