Wonderful Dharma Brother, guardian of genuine Dharma. Saviour of spendthrift Dharma bums. Beacon of perspective in a kaleidoscope world. You pulled me out of the fire of heartbreak and insolvency many times and went on to help others. Your heart was made bigger by all the hard times early and late. You recognized the guru right away and never looked back. I miss your wry wit and ready laugh. Thank you for being my big brother. Thank you for helping all our friends. Thank you for fighting for those less fortunate. Yuppy on the outside, hippie on the inside, your sword was sharp, but kind. Thank you for being our friend.
