Unfortunately, I received this in an e-mail earlier today:

IN MEMORY OF
"SOAPBOY"
Robb DiRusso
1964-2004
It Is with deep sorrow that I write this and tell you that Monday morning Soapboy passed away in his sleep of an apparent heart attack. We at Soaptown have lost a great friend, an exceptional columnist and one of our family members. Soapboy loved the daytime soaps as much as he loved his Godson Nicholas who meant everything to him. He enjoyed writing and answering your questions at the steamroom so much and looked forward each week to writing a new and exciting column. He appreciated your love and friendship always.
I sincerely hope that he is at peace now.
In other news, the national ban on military-style assault weapons will expire on Monday, September 13th, unless President Bush and Congress act now. President Bush promised to renew the ban, but instead he's letting it expire -- he has refused to call on Congress to deliver it for his signature. (Note: For 10 years the assault weapons ban has taken the deadliest weapons off our streets, cutting their use in crimes 66 percent.)
