For Alan, in Memoriam

A dear friend of mine died yesterday morning. He died at his home in Plymouth, MI, although for several days last week he was in respite care at a lovely hospice, where I visited him on Tuesday and Wednesday. I visited him at home on Sunday morning and didn’t expect that that would be the last time I would see him.

I’m still getting used to the fact that he’s gone, so I can’t yet write much about him other than that he died yesterday and that I’ll miss him.

Alan. My friend. Who shared my sense of humor and, even more than that, my sense of irony. RIP. I can't believe you're gone.
