I was one of the 4am crew who took him to his appointment. I truly considered him a friend! He would tell me all about Brooklyn and his daughters and his sister in California who loves to read just like I do. I will miss his conversations and his charming, huge, smile... but especially his friendship. My prayers for his family.
