It was touching to see the growing number of flowers and red caps throughout the last couple of weeks. I saw a family with two little kids laying flowers at lunch time; they drove to the factory just to do that. I saw one of the security guys speaking to the dad as they were about to drive away, so I hope they at least got a tour of the reception area.
Sadly I never got to meet him in person, but by all accounts he was loved by all. To always tell it like it is, and to walk the walk - one couldn't ask for much more in life, I think.
