Grindael: RIP, A MDB Treasure
Our dear friend grindael has passed on to the great Church History Library in the sky. He departed from this world last week, after battling an aggressive lymphoma. Grindael was a talented and energetic researcher, and he generously shared that with us here. Many of his posts provided priceless information. I know that he was in the process of revising some articles he hoped to publish. Grindael was a beloved and valued member of the community of Mormon scholars, and he was a real treasure on the Cassius faculty.
He was also a talented artist, something he also shared with us on occasion.
We will miss you, grindael. Requiescat in pace.

I was thinking about him the other day. I had the feeling something was up.
Well, he's moved on. We're next in line.

This is really sad news.

Oh my gosh.....this saddens me enormously. I am so sorry to hear this. Thank you for letting us know. I was astounded at his research!

Re: Grindael: RIP, A MormonDiscussions.com Treasure
I was wondering why he hadn't been posting for a while. He had mentioned that he had been struggling with illness in one of the last posts he had made here. His extensive, informative, and scholarly posts about various facets of Mormon history will be missed.

Indeed sad news. I know Grindael will certainly be missed.

DAMN IT!! Few of us could match the value of the input he so regularly provided.
Both he, and his posts, will be greatly missed.
Rest in Peace, Grindael. I'll miss you.
