One young woman's mother joined the forum to say her daughter committed suicide. And now, of course, I learned of Howard's passing with this thread.

The other three were more of a mystery but they were all connected to other members via Facebook and such. So that's how THOSE people found out, and then shared it with the rest of the board.
