He loved stories and storytelling and I can see him now taking a deep breath in, putting his hands up, adjusting his body preparing to launch.”
“He lived stories and we’ve lost a great trove of them. I inherited his enthusiasm, his use of superlatives, some of his belief and also a lot of his doubts,” he continued. “I miss him so much already.”
