b/c he was on the front page of our newspaper.

He knew he was dying and threw a Celebration of Life party and invited everyone he liked and loved to the party.

After the guests left, he mused what a great party it had been. And then immediately, he died, happy.

He changed my life with his making history relevant.

BlueKota, please accept my condolences.
