In reply to the discussion: DUer pinto has died. [View all]NJCher
(35,810 posts)182. this is such a shock
I'm sick at hearing this news. Pinto was a regular poster on our "What's for Dinner" thread. I just can't believe it.
It's so hard to think that there won't be any more Pinto posts on our nightly thread. No more hearing about his herb garden, and his railroad-style house. I always liked to read his posts; he was creative in his approach to cooking. One sometimes gets a sense of a person, and with Pinto I sensed a gentle, inquisitive soul with a wonderful sense of humor.
I don't read the Religion forum, so I have no sense of what his beliefs were. I wish I knew, especially at a time like this.
I am immeasurably sad, and I, too, am crying.

That is so sad to hear. I loved his posts. We've lost a number of wonderful DU'ers.

Oh, that's sad. I never knew him personally but he did live in the same area I did.
