Of all sad words of song or pen, the saddest are these—it might have been. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------
That sentiment to me is the truest quote of all. And I've sadly had to use it much too often in my life.
Now with George, I never had the opportunity to meet him at a con. But in the months before his passing there was an invitation on a Facebook Group to post personal messages of Thanks and appreciation to him. I'll never know if he ever had occasion to read mine. But I do hope he had the chance to read most, if not all of them. And that they gave him some degree of warmth and comfort at how much genuine love there was for everything he'd done, and all the lives he'd touched throughout his career.
I miss just even knowing that he was around. So I can't imagine what it's like for the people who were blessed enough to know him in their real lives.
