It's not an exaggeration to say that Pete truly was a fixture of the Lurker Lounge and the forums that preceded it, and that as a community we are poorer for his loss. Skandranon used exactly the right word, in my opinion: iconic. He knew how to leave a lasting impression in a way (more than one way, really!) that won't be easily equaled. 
Thinking about Pete and this sad news, I found myself reminded of the final lines, especially, of Edna St. Vincent Millay's "Dirge Without Music", which I feel speak for themselves:
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.
My sincere condolences, Magi.
