May his soul be a blessing to all. Your desire for accuracy in information dissemination will be missed. A library has closed. A kitchen where brain fed is no more. A compass has stopped giving directions. You’ll be missed dearly MaDay. Find peace and death has been defeated https://t.co/U8O0g8hCMP
