Effbot was a voice of clarity when I went to learn Python, long before 2 was ready to collect dust on the shelf.
I picked up the Python Standard Library book used after reading some apress book on Python. The book was clear and a good guide to the language, honestly one of the reasons I began to push people to learn it.
Later, I probably ran into him on irc.
I've used PIL, and later Pillow, as well as ElementTree in personal and professional work. Without him, I suspect part of my professional life wouldn't have happened. Funny how that is.
My thoughts go out to his family. I can't imagine what it's like to discover just how many lives he touched.
