I wish I could. I didn't know him personally, but I bought my BrailleNote 
carrying bag from him and enjoyed talking to him during the transaction. A 
truly cool human being. And how wonderful that he has been coherent enough 
to ask that the plug be pulled, so that those left behind aren't left with 
guilt, wondering if they did the right thing.
