Lux Lucre, aka Kerry Pearson, has died at 41, apparently of complications of diabetes. Here's a site with a photo of Lux and memorial information:

Lux Lucre, RIP

We got to know Lux over the last couple of months at the Port Watson Project, where he was a frequent visitor to Sunday night chat sessions. Lux was a big fan of Monty Python and any really bad puns, as well as obscure Shultz quotes. I'll miss him. We didn't even know he was sick, as they say.
