Were he as open and communicative and unpretentious as he let on, why didn't he seek help? Maybe he did, who knows? There does not seem to be evidence of it.
Maybe AB was not so genuine a person as he let on. Maybe he got tired of playing the part of AB and had to finally come to grips with the ruse. Maybe he discovered he actually hated people because they were so easily hoodwinked. Maybe his life was a sick joke and he finally got the punchline.
Since he passed I, like speeder, did some research.
I'm not interested anymore, though. I'm thinking maybe he was a fraud. Maybe to him his life was nothing but a facade and the people in it mere props.
Maybe this gregarious and fun-loving, intelligent and warm explorer, traveler and writer was nothing but a sick ****.
I choose to no longer dwell on it.
I have weeds to pull.

Thanks for the honest, insightful quote............. took some self confidence given it goes against the whiny, forgiving, co-dependent, apologists here......
Guy was a douche and went out like a douche.
