A man I looked up to with great acclaim. A man who really knew how to play his game. A great man that taught me how to analyze the lame.
Never a lost for words, he taught me what I know. Every time I saw this innovator perform, I knew I’d forever grow. Broadening my mind until my opinion on any subject would comfortably flow.
He guided me through issues throughout the many years. Despite the fact I never met him or bought him a beer. It’s strange how you could never meet some one and yet feel so near.
I looked up to a man I never knew. When my own father didn’t care enough to explain the view. On the way this world works and he didn't even care to give me any clues.
So now he’s gone, but he had a great run. The hours of joy he's provided me I hold second to none. Now comedians like Lewis Black and Bill Maher should make the filling of his shoes quite rewarding and fun.
And by no means let this mans true work ever be done.
