And I still miss him all the time. I keep finding books he wrote, or emails he sent, or cartoons he worked on.

The best writer, the best friend, the best guy.

You are missed so much, Dwayne, and sadly, but as we all expected…

…you are not replaceable.

Quite true. Mr….

Well, good on you for keeping that aspect of what he did alive. Lord knows we need more people like you.

He was one of the key inspirations in my career, many times he sent me a note that boosted me up when I was in doubt. He was all those things you mentioned, but aside from his prodigious talent and fearless social message, I will always remember his patience and generosity, which I experienced first-hand many times.

He was a writer who wasn't ashamed of his humanity, and I will always love him for that.
