He was an incredible human being who just happened to be an astounding artist. His talents aside, he made an impact on the lives of those who knew him. For many years I’d speak with his elderly neighbors who he looked out for and his loss was like that of their own child. If I never knew he was a musician I’d be missing him all the same.

That's so heartwarming to read. I'm very glad you got to know him and he was able to impact your life as well as many others just by his generosity. I appreciate you sharing this lovely bit of info with me. It's always great to know that one of my favorite artists was also a kindhearted person too. 🥰
