Damn, only 62. I don't see a cause of death yet, just "a medical condition that deteriorated over the last few weeks." I appreciate that he always connected VIM to his charities.
I'm against calling the group plant-based. Veganism is concerned with animal welfare and the well-being of the planet, while plant-based ignores all that and only focuses on diet. You say you hate vegans? That's fine, start another group but leave our group alone.
