You could tell how much his friendship meant to you by reading your blogs. <BR/>I know nothing I can ever say or do will take away the hurt and emptiness you are feeling but if you ever want to share some stories - I would love to hear them.

I'm thankful that you were able to do that Modern Masters book on him. I'm hopeful he had an inkling of how valued he was for his vast talents and kindness.
