Anything I write will be inadequate, but this premature extinguishing of a brilliant mind, even after all the months of knowing, is so sudden. To hear the news of his death announced on the news early yesterday morning, in what seemed a rather matter of fact kind of way, was a shock. It seemed he could have gone on longer, it was only a complication. But as fatal as the cancer itself. Another sign, as if one were needed, that it's always later than we think.
Condolences to all those bereft.
