I'm sorry to hear this news. I rarely make it to Berkeley, but Comic Relief is a great store. It's not just well-stocked and well-staffed, although those things are rare enough in comics. Everyone there knows their stuff, and they've been unfailingly polite and helpful to me. That kind of attitude always comes from the top. Rory seemed like a great guy. My sympathies to his family and his employees.

Oh, man! Rory, we hardly knew ye.

My deepest condolences to everyone out that way, and to the rest of the comics community, too. I'd only met Rory a couple of times, but he couldn't have been a nicer and more helpful guy. It's a real shame to see him go so soon.
