My heart goes out to hisa family … when something like this happens to someone who is only 39 it really makes you appreciate life all the more. This is really a tragedy … I still can’t believe it. He had so much to look forward to, … it is such a shame.

True, he just retired to enjoy his life (and his money). It’s a real shame.

I loved his Rally games. Spent countless hours trying to master the techniques on the PSX. It’s a shame.
