I am greatly honored to finally meet you, Sir, after hearing many wonderful things about you from Barry, over the course of the last forty years. May you find eternal peace in your well-earned rest! Gassho, S.

General Vesser was a real gentleman, and it was an honor knowing [and playing squash] with him.

A heavy heart and fond memories fill my soul. God Speed Dale, may your next adventure be as remarkable as your life! With great affection
