I feel so lucky to have known him and to have been touched by his generosity. I think he is one of the reasons that I see the world in the way that I do. (Although he's not the only who influenced me to view things through a loving lens). I am sad that he's not around anymore, but so many people are richer for having known him that I don't see his death as anything but a quick and painless finish to a productive and loving life.

I think we have these encounters with such wonderful people and have an obligation to find a way to pass it on. Don't you? It is always such an empty feeling when someone so great leaves the Earth ... but it's also comforting to know that there ARE still those who yearn to make the same impact.
