A polite young man- he came to a party at my house while we were in high school, and he used his hand to hold ashes from his cigarette. It made a big impression on me.

I went to high school with Lars. A real gentleman. One time he came to a party at my dad's place, and he started to smoke a cigarette (we all did back then). Instead of just flicking his ashes on the carpet, he used his hand until he finally, politely, asked me for an ashtray. I haven't seen him since high school, but I am still sad to read about his passing. Prayers to his son.
