Please let him know that he's touched my life with his gifts.
Please let him know how important he was to us in his humor, his light, and his joyful gifts that he offered us so freely.
As you all celebrate Bob's life, please let him know that the metaphysical waiting line for all of us to pay him respect is literally miles long.
May his passing come with the same peace that he brought to so many.
Love, John Mckusick
