Kevinbiegel / @kbiegel:   Jonathan Gold was one of the most vital writers this country has ever produced. He made us look at others and ourselves and did it with love, appreciation and grace. I'm crushed and a mess as I'm sure so many are by his loss. Thank you for everything, Mr. Gold. And fuck cancer.

Molly Knight / @molly_knight:   Huge loss of a Los Angeles legend who gave grimy holes in the wall as much attention as trendy upscale spots. His reviews were my Bible. This is horrible news. http://twitter.com/...

Jeff Yang / @originalspin:   Damn. I was literally thinking of him while eating Korean fried chicken last night here in Seoul. Was fortunate to have had some chance to talk with him and much opportunity to read him. Between him and Bourdain, the food world has lost incredible and essential voices this year. http://twitter.com/...

This extra-sucky; in the now-dim 1980s, Mr. Gold was the boyfriend of my most recent (never say "last") friend & sexual associate.
