I am so sad to know he is gone. It just won't be the same. I loved him dearly and he will be so very missed. I am awed and not surprised at the number of lives he touched. How generous and true to form he was. It's nice to know that we share that bond with others. I take comfort in that. I am proud and honored to have known him and even more so to have been able to call him Uncle.
