I am so saddened to hear this. I always enjoyed Wally's thoughtful,
intelligent, and humorous contributions. He will be sorely missed.

It is upsetting as well to hear that he died of liver cancer. I would like to
think that eating Paleo would offer one some modicum of protection against
all cancers, but perhaps he would have died much sooner had he not been
Paleo. It is not for us to know.
