Despite our age gap, we had a terrific time together and laughed. His sense of humor was unique, and I will always cherish my time with him.
During this terrible moment, I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family. His death is a significant loss for me, and I know many others will feel the same way.
Even though we can’t be together in person anymore, he will always be my dear friend.”
