-Removed-Sorry about missing the documentation of his bereavement. My reading of the postings here is inconsistent.
Regarding my views on agreeing with the premise in your OP that this forum and the spirituality forum are worse off without his posting; I have no opinion one way or the other. I never knew much about FMF and tend to focus most of my very limited brain power on either work or chess. These forums are just a hazy and occasional endeavor for me.

He may not have an opinion, but I do, since I know that FMF switched religions. From what he posted, I understood that he went from being a Christian to being an atheist, if my recollection serves me right.
The point for this opinion on FMF is in reference to his bereavement. I would imagine that he would have taken the loss of his wife differently and with less intensity, had he kept his Christian faith.
For an atheist, who religiously believes there is no God, death is the end. Whereas, a Christian believes there is something still, after death. Something of a possibility of being reunited with lost loved ones. Hope is last to die, as poets tell us. The hope that there may truly be an afterlife.
Whether it's true or not, it matters not when it comes to hope, which can lighten the heavy load of grieving. Who knows, perhaps FMF will comeback here, and tell us how and why he became a Christian once again. However, this is not a prediction, and only the hope that it will ease his pain.
If you do communicate with him privately, tell him that I wish for his heavy burden to be lightened. I would say that he did add life to this place.
@pettytalk saidYou are crossing a line here which should not be crossed.
