Respect and much love to Moshe and all of his. One of my favourite posters. Will be sorely missed.

Some great posts being shared in the thread. Well done to all.

RIP Moshe and sincerest condolences to your family.

Hope the Blues do it for you this week against the old enemy...

Actually he did think of you as a friend or at the very least a great force for good in the world and the only person in here who really had much of a clue about the game.

I just want to acknowledge this is also a beautiful tribute to Moshe: appreciate the humility and warmth.

FWIW, I met Moshe briefly at (the old) Percy's once. And got the same impression others have honoured.

Yeah good call BG.

Syd and I go hammer and tongs in here but I think there’s a level of grace there that is beautiful to see.

Moshe told me a number of times how much he enjoyed that day talking to Syd.

I've never met anyone here and don't post too often but visit the site every single day. This place and the posters within have helped me through some pretty tough times just by giving me a distraction and many different opinions and views on life and the team I love.

The tributes here are beautiful and show what an impact Moshe has had on so many people. No doubt he would appreciate the discussion about health which has arisen and is so important as well. I for sure will miss reading his posts on a range of topics as they so often prompted deeper thought.

To those that were close to Moshe and are hurting right now I'm so sorry for your loss. May he Rest In Peace.

One thing which has struck me is that I was a passing acquaintance to Moshe, a guy in Sydney who happened to share a love of the same team, post in a footy forum, and once gave him a ticket to a match up here in Sydney against GWS (irony alert), yet he made me feel like I was a close friend of his. Moshe often messaged me just to say hi, or happy birthday or similar. Reading the posts here, I'm in a large community of others who he made feel similarly special and blessed.

That's the mark of an incredibly special person. He will remain with me for many years.

Thank you for your memories of Moshe everyone

That would have been the match that I bumped into the two of you and had a brief chat for a few minutes. Understandably the only time I had the pleasure of meeting Moshe but a lovely fellow all the same.

It's taking me a while to fully process this. I never had any real personal dealing with Moshe, but he was always around to offer a well reasoned point on the club as it stands now or some great reminiscences of the past, or the grammar and spelling corrections that became so well known here. And yet... there won't be any more of it. I'm going to miss Moshe. I barely knew him, but I'll miss him. And so will the forum.

Very sad news.

Will be greatly missed.

RIP Moshe.

I was just thinking about the day you introduced me to moshe, & the mixed look of sadness & sympathy that crossed your faces when I told you I didn't start following footy until 1983

You know, I've come into this thread over a dozen times these last three days and each time left writing nothing. Today I have to.

I never met Moshe, but I knew him for 16 years. Some may say how well can you know someone having not met them, let's see, this is how well I know him.

I know he was well read, that didn't take long to work out. Not that long ago I saw a picture of his library, I mean, the man had a library and not just a couple of shelves, I'm pretty sure I saw a ladder on wheels.

I know he loved robust discussion, especially when he was right. When Moshe was right it was a sight to behold, sit back and watch some poor sap receive a lesson.

I've spoken to many people over the last 16 years, who have had the privilege and great pleasure of meeting Moshe, everyone told me what a beautiful human he was and not everyone lies.

There's only one thing Moshe loved more than Carlton and that's his family, I never met Moshe but I knew that family was everything to him.

To his girls and the single most important person in his life, Helene, I offer my sincerest condolences. Moshe will never be forgotten and will forever remain a part of our family here.

I will miss that big smiling face and that warmth that he was able to convey in just a small paragraph.

I never met Moshe but you know what I'm pretty sure I knew him.

Rest In Peace my brother.

P.S. to Pat, my condolences mate, hope you're keeping well and staying strong, take care please.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

GWS, you seem to have known moshe the best.

I have never in my time on TC seen a series of posts to a late TCer.

And what a series of posts.

May I suggest, if you think it appropriate that you forward them to his family to show what we all thought of him and how much we grieve ourselves at his passing.

Sympathy at this time can never go astray.
