I got to know Bsims off the forum a little bit. He had been very open about being in poor health. Bsims had been battling health issues for a few years.
I tried to meet up with Bsims to take in a game. But his health precluded him from doing so.
At least twice in the past, I noticed he wasn't posting and I got worried. I again noticed he hadn't posted in several weeks. This time, I got the confirmation with the bad news.
What I learned from Bsims: 1) Do what you love.
2) Enjoy every day.
3) Don’t take it for granted, because it’s (surely) going to be gone soon enough.
