Not sure what to say?

I remember my mentor with great fondness. Our meetings at his NYU office, the lunch time at the Indian restaurant, the coffe breaks at Orens, the conferences in Oviedo and Helsinki (with Kate), but, especially, his trip to Italy with Kate when, after spending a few days in my town, we went to Naples, Pompei and Ercolano for a whole week are wonderful memories.

my deepest condolences

best regards
