I have been exchanging emails with him lately and received and email he sent me at 5:32 PM in his time zone on day he died. He lived his life helping people with their bikes all the way to the end. He will be missed. I was shocked and sadden by the news. I have been exchanging emails with him lately and received and email he sent me at 5:32 PM in his time zone on day he died.

Thanks Captain Bike for everything!

That being said I am not qualified to be Sheldon's gofer. This man had so much Knowledge about bikes and the enthusiasm and selflessness in which he presented it is unheard of. I built my first SS with his help ( via website). I have literally spent hours maybe even days learning from his website. He will be greatly missed and my condolences go out to his family and friends. I hope they take solace in the fact that his spirit lives on in everyone he has helped over the years. Godspeed Sheldon.

Sheldon helped a lot of people - probably more than he knew - and he'll be missed. Nicely said, and very sad. Sheldon helped a lot of people - probably more than he knew - and he’ll be missed.
