Without warning, my little brother passed away on May 28th of a heart attack. In the days that have passed as I deal with the shock, the grief and the sadness, I am comforted to find the support from his many, many friends. These are not just people that knew him but truly many, many people he called friend; people he gave himself to in friendship; people he cared for; people he supported in work; people he gave his time to; people he went the extra mile for without a second thought; people who he touched by his gentle way and generous spirit.
If only we judged the measure of a person in this way, my brother was the most successful man many of us will ever have the privilege of knowing.

It has been hard to wrap my head around him not staying with me on his next trip north, not seeing him at holidays, not talking on the phone or just never seeing him ever again.
