Goodbye Joe Simon, Christopher Hitchens and Russell Hoban. Thanks for your inspiration and your intelligent creativity. Joe co-created the original super soldier, Russell gave me Riddley Walker and Christopher will now know if there is a God afterall.
If you are passionate about life then you will have had a life worth living like these guys.
