Bless him, I find it very fitting that some of his words were set to music and beamed out towards a nearby black hole. Somehow, years ago, I got into an email exchange conversation with him, which I will always treasure simply because I am not a genius, far from it, yet he responded to me and my questions as an equal. I was writing a story for a game dev project I was involved with at the time, and I just up and emailed him with some questions, trying to get my head around black holes, and he replied, sparking a lengthy and wide ranging conversation. I may have forgotten most of the science by now, but I will always remember the man, the humor, the wisdom, even the things I didn't always agree with him about, because that made it a more real contact with a person who was just as fallible as the rest of us in his own ways. I worship no man or woman, but the conversations I had with him were the best I have ever had with another human if I'm totally honest. Long may he shine.
