John Donne, circa 1630: "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
You're so right in citing these words, SJU65. Unless I'm wrong, none of us knew CR, yet we all feel a little diminished by his unexpected and all-too-soon passing, which speaks volumes about the man.
