To the family,

I would like to extend my condolences to you. Losing a loved one in death breaks our heart. Please know that you can find comfort and strength in God. Isa. 41:10 says he will hold on to you with his right hand of righteousness. Cherish the loving memories.

I am thankful that he came to Monroe Michigan a few years ago. He came for a film festival in which 2001: A Space Odyssey was shown. He said it was one of the best viewings he had seen. I was so delighted that he came and was able to share in this magical experience. He seemed to enjoy his time at the festival and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I’m very grateful to him for the magic he brought to the films that I cherish. Sending prayers to his family and his friends.
