Thank you for this beautiful, warm remembrance. And oh that picture of Edmund and Luis at the end ❤️: Edmund’s almost boyish grin of quiet delight.

I have read and loved him for decades. Thank you for your fitting tribute. He was an amazing gay force ( as are you)

Beautiful reflections. It's important to note that he was also a co-founder of Gay Men's Health Crisis in 1982, in a group that also included Larry Kramer, Paul Popham, Lawrence Mass, Paul Rapaport, and Nathan Fain.
