He was one of my favorite yoga students. Always a smile on his face & a laugh when the practice was hard. I miss him. I am very sorry for your loss. A good man.

We both worked at home most of the time, and spent most of every day together. I miss him every second of every day. He was here for me, and I hope that I was here for him. He had a kind, loving and tender heart; he listened to what I said to him, which is a rare skill; and he tried to make everyone he knew as happy as he possibly could. He truly was a devoted husband and deeply loved all those who were a part of his life. You all know that he was smart and funny, and he didn't mind letting you see that, but he sometimes tended to hide the tenderness of his feelings for people. And then he would worry about whether his loved ones knew that he loved them. So just to set the record straight: he did love you all and he would want you to know that.

Jean Paul Fernandes, 2016.
