update
Boston Globe published an article in memory of Sheldon Brown.
Here is a picture of his family in front of Sheldon's bike collection, strange to see grown up children and a grandchild after having read his articles. There is such wealth of information shared by him about his personal life and of course about bikes. Another link where Sheldon talks about the bright side of MS.
