There were so many times that I *almost* got to see him perform in concert. My parents and sister were able to hear him live several times and for whatever reason, the timing was never right for me. I regret that.
I read his autobiography a few months back - what an incredible...light...this man was.
I think anyone would be able to plainly see that this man had a passion for life - even if you didn't know who he was (and let's face it, you'd have to be living under a rock if you didn't) - his eyes alone couldn't hide that passion - so impish, always twinkling with mischeif. =)
But yeah, his life journey was a great story and I will be one of the many people that is really heartbroken that his light has, in a way, left our world.
