R.I.P. Black Adder
Steve, aka Black Adder, had been battling with cancer since June 2013 and passed away last night according to his sister's Facebook post.
I only met Steve once in real life when he stuck in LA because he overslept and missed his plane. He was a really nice and funny guy. We will definitely miss his sense of humor and all of his contributions on FT especially on the JAL forum.
Steve, you will be missed and I hope your JGC membership will extend to wherever you are forever.

He might have posted about this once before on the JAL forum but it was long time ago.
