I had worked with him for several years before ever meeting him, as is the nature of this business. One night about 15 yrs ago we stayed late at my office BS’ing until the early hours. He had an interest and knowledge about a wide range of subjects and was one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. He always had his ear to the rail and would help a friend in a heartbeat. A fiercely staunch conservative who loved his country. Just look at his email list…those weren’t people that he just dealt with, those were his friends. I’ll miss him…..as will hundreds of others.”
