joethefoodie Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Agree with what's been written here. 45, with a wife and 8-year old son - it's just fucking horrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieL Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 fat-guy.com was where I first became aware of this whole silly world. My condolences... Mine too. I dabbled in Chowhound, but eGullet was where I really got involved, meeting so many current and former MF folk. Really something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Brown Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I thank Steven for co-creating eGullet. It was a consuming passion of mine from a few months after it began until I lost my posting privileges. He deserves entry into the Culinary Hall of Fame, mythical as it may be. In his way, he was a legend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miguel Gierbolini Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Shocking. Read a lot of his stuff early on. Fat-guy,com, then egullet as it evolved. My condolences to his family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

prasantrin Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 He was a good father to PJ--you could see how much they loved each other in his family. My heart goes out to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidNY Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Never had the pleasure of meeting him, but interacted with him a few times on eG - always seemed very friendly to me. Really shocking news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suzanne F Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The eG thread: http://forums.egullet.org/topic/147486-steven-shaw/ I wish they would let those of us who were there early on post our own tributes. Because even if we were thrown off, we still have good things to say. Well, many of us, as witness what's been said here. Then again, from what I've seen on Facebook, some former eG members cannot control their baser impulses. Maybe that's what the current regime expects of all who were dismissed?

cstuart Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Not a name I figured I'd see in this thread. Condolences to his family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
prasantrin Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 A tragedy for his family--his mother, wife, and young son. That PJ was very much loved was evident just by watching them together. My heart goes out to his family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
