Only you could write something as graceful as this about him this quickly. Thank you for this loving remembrance that also acknowledges how rare he was and how. Sending you much love.

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.
