Thread:Comments:Wikinews mourns loss of volunteer John Shutt/Rest In Peace

I am at a loss for words. This is shocking and devastating news, for the Project he so loved -- and for those who loved him. I had occasion to interact with Pi many, many times over the years. He was one of the most prolific reviewers and administrators on the Project, and plugged away tirelessly to keep Wikinews churning. His feedback was always thorough, incisive, and helpful -- I learned much from Pi, about writing articles here, about the art and the science of writing generally, about evaluating facts and information with a healthily critical eye and an ever-analytical mind. I can think of no more fitting a way for his legacy to survive -- nay, to thrive -- than in the continuing collaborativeness of this community in the days, months, and years ahead. Rest in Peace, Pi -- and thanks for everything.
