Oh man. I just heard this and came to post the bad news.
.. He was amazing.. When I was very young, my Mom would allow me to listen to him even with all the the "words" because she understood how smart he was and thought, "well, you're gonna hear these words anyhow. You might as well get this guys great perspective on things while your at it."
How sad.. He will be missed by us all..
I wish his family and friends the best during this very hard period..
George, thanks for doing what you did..
