Tom:

Thank you for letting us know.

That is very sad news.   I had many interactions with Sheldon Brown in the 
days of rec.bicycles.tech and rec.bicycles.misc  What a wonderful person...  

I remember reading a comment about Sheldon and Jobst (Brandt.):

"Together, they have the Old Codger Act down pat, "Sheldon has the look and 
Jobst has the Attitude..."   Sheldon's attitude was unique and friendly, a 
remarkable fellow."
