I send blessings to his family and friends. His memory is still...

Oh, Butch. I didn't know until tonight when I looked you up. I have been thinking of you so much over the past year. I treasure the things that remind me of you: the painting, the prototype for one of your collages, the tie dye shirts I still have. . . was there anything you couldn't do? I will miss your friendship and collaboration, your generosity of spirit, your beautiful, beautiful self. I was proud to be a part of the first cyber rave. You would have made more money if so many hadn't...
