It’s not every day we see such a revolutionary come along, and we have been fortunate to have had him in our lives for decades.
Lots of reactions are coming in. Kind words, big history, legendary stories, personal anecdotes, etc. I don’t need to repeat some of those, but here’s my take on a fitting tribute.
