March 13, 2025Speaking of you in the past tense is not something I prepared for, and now that I so suddenly must, I am pained.
Thank you for the many hours of your company — still regretfully few — your good humour, warmth of character and grace. But thank you most of all for constantly reminding me — sometimes with very little subtlety — that there is always dignity in fighting good fights.
Put simply, I am a better person for having known you and I will feel your loss for a good while yet. Your influence, I have only realised with you passing, is much deeper than either of us knew.
Fly high Mike. I hope to share another whisky sour with you … one day.
