Oh, dear. The world is a darker, gloomier place, today.

I never met him in person, and now I won't. The erudition and scholarship he demonstrated was colossal. If it isn't a contradiction in terms, so was his modesty.

Our heartfelt condolences to those near to him in love - all of us, I'd say.

May he rest in the arms of the Great Mother, and know the All Father's smile. So mote it be.
