My condolences to his family. I knew of his illness, we last spoke in June. He was instrumental in my theatre life, career, since the 1980's when I truly started acting. He was a fine actor and a better director. A friend, a mentor. He was witty, smart, sarcastic in the best way and so very, very funny. He knew I loved him and I knew he loved me. Its the end of a theatre era in the Louisville area. He will be missed forever. Sending Love to his family.
