We donated toys for the charity and I am sure he would still be doing it today if he was here. Rest in Peace, Emru. My condolences goes out to his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was like the D'Artagnan to Harry and Emru's Porthos and Aramis back on the old BIX Animation Conference. Never had the pleasure of meeting Emru in person but I always enjoyed reading his writing, and he did give me a page or two to tell Batfink's story in his FPS magazine one time. Rest in peace, Emru. Bummer to hear this. I was like the D’Artagnan to Harry and Emru’s Porthos and Aramis back on the old BIX Animation Conference.

Never had the pleasure of meeting Emru in person but I always enjoyed reading his writing, and he did give me a page or two to tell Batfink’s story in his FPS magazine one time.

Rest in peace, Emru.

My mother died last year from a disorder similar to leukemia, called myelofibrosis, for her treatment and path to recovery she kept a blog as well. With her passing I updated the blog for her friends and supporters online. Had I known about Emru I would have followed his blog as well. Thanks for this write up so I could know his story.

The two have always been close and a breath of sunshine to all who ever crossed their paths. Emru will be truly missed but his fight and his family's efforts to raise awareness about bone marrow donation will hopefully help others who face the same fate. RIP Emru...we'll miss you!

I'd read his stuff online at PC World's Digital World blog, which we repurposed at the Macworld Gadgetbox blog. He struck me as a genuinely nice, smart, funny guy and we ended up chatting for half an hour about a variety of topics. I really enjoyed talking to him, and I was sad to hear of his illness when he was diagnosed. The world's lost a talented writer, but more to the point, a good person as well. He'll be missed.

Goodbye my friend.
