It's been a long time that I've been meaning to post this, no matter how tattered and tired a scan of a newspaper article it is.

If you know me at all, you've heard stories. And you know that there is no one I miss more.

If you don't, then you've never heard of him, and I wish you had.

There is so much else I could say, but it's too much, too late, too many tales.

The reasons for posting this are many.

But mostly love. Admiration. Loss. And the things that resulted.
